The Martin Agricultural Experiment Station , located adjacent to the campus, is utilized as the laboratory farm in the department s teaching programs. It comprises 680 acres and includes herds of beef cattle and swine as well as field and forage crop areas. These facilities are used by faculty and students to conduct research which complements the teaching program as well as contributes to the broad objectives of the UT Experiment Station.

UT Martin in this way occupies a unique position which differentiates it from other institutions.
