Farming has long been an essential element of American life. Paired with the study of animals and the environment, the business of agriculture has played a key part in driving our economy and producing essential resources.

Designated as a land-grant university in 1890, Lincoln University of Missouri has long focused on preparing interested students to be competent and competitive in the agriculture and agribusiness fields, with the scientific and technical know-how to lead farming into the modern era.
