| | Agricultural Research Station |
 | | The 570 acre station is used for research which requires frequent visitation, measurements, sampling, close and constant ties with campus laboratory facilities, precise irrigation control, or large uniform areas for the production of high quality forages that are used in rations for the campus livestock research programs. |
 | | The station’s soil and topography are representative of roughly 40 million acres in the Upper Mississippi Valley. |
 | | Research at the Hancock station focuses on irrigated vegetable and field crops with an emphasis on potatoes, snap beans, cucumbers, field corn, sweet corn and alfalfa. |
