Our Mission
The mission of OSU Ag Research is to conduct research on agriculture, natural resources,
rural economies and social issues to increase science-based knowledge and develop
technology to improve the lives of Oklahomans.
A broad range of interests and outcomes for OSU Ag Research is key to this mission,
because the research ultimately is used throughout the state to provide a safe and
affordable food supply; maintain an environmentally sustainable agricultural production
system; and preserve precious natural resources for residents’ health and security.
It is a community effort – our research is a collaboration between farmers and ranchers,
agriculture commodity groups, industry, state agencies and federal competitive grants.
Expenditures, which total more than $50 million annually, directly support Oklahoma’s
agricultural industry, further driving the need for more research.
