THE OKLAHOMA Agricultural Experiment Station (OAES) is the agricultural research arm of the University and of the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources. Established in 1890 by an act of the Territorial Legislature and defined by Congress as created "to aid in acquiring and diffusing among the people of the United States useful and practical information on subjects connected with agriculture," the organization serves as Oklahoma's agricultural research agency.

The OAES is supported by both State and Federal appropriations as well as by grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, and product sales. Oklahomans help evaluate needs and establish priorities for the Station's researchers through various advisory committees. Research varies from the most fundamental at the cellular and subcellular levels to high impact research of immediate utility.

The OAES system includes laboratories, greenhouses, and plot land at the main campus in Stillwater, as well as 17 research stations distributed around the state to cover Oklahoma's diverse agricultural conditions. Faculty from the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources and other colleges conduct many research projects within the OAES. Several faculty in Veterinary Medicine and Human Environmental Sciences hold OAES appointments. The Dean of the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources serves as the Director of the OAES. The OAES research program is closely integrated with the companion programs of teaching in the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources and with technology transfer in the Cooperative Extension Service and in International Agriculture Programs.
