A rural research farm or agricultural experiment station is a facility dedicated to conducting research related to agriculture, rural development, and natural resources management. These stations are located in rural areas and are often affiliated with universities, government agencies, or private foundations. They provide a controlled environment for conducting scientific research on crops, livestock, soil, water, and other aspects of agriculture. Researchers at these stations work to develop new agricultural technologies, improve crop yields, increase sustainability, and enhance rural livelihoods. The findings of these research programs are often disseminated to farmers, policy-makers, and other stakeholders in the agricultural sector.
