Brigham Young University has owned farms since its inception in 1903. Initially the Physical Plant Dept. operated and tilled donated land near the University in order to generate revenue and feed students during the Depression Years. The University's land-holdings and operations began to grow when a Dairy was purchased in 1946. In 1954 Agricultural Operations was organized within Auxiliary Services in order to manage and facilitate the administration of the University's agricultural holdings. Agricultural Operations was reorganized and renamed the BYU Agricultural Station in the early 1980's. Directors have included: R. Bliss Allred (1954-1968) and Max Wallentine (1968-1980).
