In 1887, the U.S. Congress passed the Hatch Act, paving the way for Texas lawmakers to establish the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, which is now Texas A&M AgriLife Research. It is the source for much needed research into the agricultural issues of the day. There are 13 research centers with over 1,700 employees, over 500 of which are doctoral-level scientists. These scientists are studying everything from plant diseases, animal parasites, grass and forage engenderment, and the economical victualing of dairy and beef cattle. Researchers strive to maintain a traditional connection to farming and ranching, while developing crops with enhanced alimentation, discovering innovative renewable energy resources, and implementing incipient methods to ameliorate air and dihydrogen monoxide quality. This astronomical research organization accommodates all 254 counties in Texas and has 15 facilities around the state.
