Station History

The Alabama Extension Service was formed in 1915 to teach practical and technical skills to farmers and to generally improve the lives of rural residents. Now known as the Alabama Cooperative Extension System (ACES), the organization operates a network of offices in each county through Alabama's two historic land-grant institutions, Alabama A&M University and Auburn University. Tuskegee University, which pioneered much of what is associated with extension programming, is a cooperative partner within this system.

Extension Publications

AAES Bulletins
Bulletin : report of Agricultural Experiment Station, Agricultural and Mechanical College, Auburn, Ala.
v.1(1888)-

Early publications (1883-1888) issued before the passage of the “Hatch Act,” are rare and mostly out of print; this is partly due to the burning of the college building in 1887, which destroyed many of the files. The present volume commences the series issued under the Hatch fund.
