Montana Agricultural Experiment Stations

Montana's Agricultural Experiment Station (MAES) has faculty and supporting staff conducting research and outreach programs addressing crop and animal production methods, market growth opportunities, pest management and environmental quality issues. MAES has seven off-campus Research Centers and local campus farms that address production and production challenges in the diverse agro-ecosystems of the state. Collectively, MSU’s campus farms and seven-off campus Research Centers plus faculty on the MSU-Bozeman campus constitute the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station (MAES) and the MSU College of Agriculture. As such, MSU effectively considers the entire state of Montana as its "campus." MAES and the statewide Research Centers provide the foundation upon which the research and teaching missions of the university stay relevant to needs of agriculture in the state of Montana.
