Welcome!

The East Tennessee Research & Education Center is known for its research on production of agronomic and vegetable crops, along with beef and dairy production.

One of 10 research and education centers in the University of Tennessee Agricultural Experiment Station system, the East Tennessee center serves as a field laboratory providing experimental plots, lands, livestock, orchards, equipment, and other types of support for research programs developed by Experiment Station scientists.

The center was established on land purchased by the university in 1869. Since this time, six units have been added, increasing the center to 2,889 acres. We invite you to explore this site to find out more about our operations and activities.
