Each spring at the University of Vermont, the Vermont Agricultural
Experiment Station and UVM Extension publish an annual report that
highlights important government-funded research and outreach programs
whose outcomes improve Vermonters’ lives. The report briefly summarizes
wide ranging work in topics such as agriculture, nutrition and
environment; and accounts for its financial expenditures.
Vermont Agricultural Experiment Station (VT-AES) was established in
1886. UVM Extension is also a state and federal partnership through the
University of Vermont (UVM). Since its founding in 1912, its aim has
been to translate researched-based conclusions into information that
Vermonters can use. Extension concentrates on research that helps
farmers, gardeners, forest and land stewards, and anyone who wants to
improve business profitability and economics or nutrition and food
safety. Plus, Extension offers life-skills education to youth and
adults. For a copy of the most recent edition of the annual report
