Hatch Act of 1887

Hatch Act of 1887

The Hatch Act of 1887 (ch. 314, USStat|24|440, enacted 1887-03-02, USC|7|361a et seq.) gave federal land grants to states in order to create a series of agricultural experiment stations, as well as pass along new information, especially in the areas of soil minerals and plant growth. State agricultural stations created under this act were usually connected with land-grant state colleges and universities founded under the Morrill Act of 1862.

Many stations founded under the Hatch Act later became the foundations for state cooperative extension services under the Smith-Lever Act of 1914.
