Background
The Department of Agronomy and Range Science began in 1904 as the Division of Experimental Agronomy in the College of
Agriculture of the University of California, Berkeley. In 1906, the division was largely moved to the University Farm at
Davis, which was better suited to researching agricultural practices of the Central Valley. The two-year non-degree program
included practical work in agronomy and experiment station research focused on developing improved cereal and range crop
varieties.
