The Hatch Act of 1887 gave federal land grants to states in order to create a series of experimental agricultural stations, as well as pass along new information, especially in the areas of soil minerals and plant growth. Many states added their own agricultural stations, usually connected with state colleges and universities that were created on previous land grants from the Morrill Act of 1862.
