Public Sector Institutions, Education, and Innovation
For the first 150 years of the Republic, the government’s primary role in agriculture was to build institutions for education and innovation. Starting with the Ordinance of 1785, the federal government used land and other resources to promote public education of the populace and innovation in agriculture. The Morrill, Hatch, Smith-Lever, and Smith-Hughes Acts would follow. The original mission of USDA was experimentation and innovation to improve agricultural production. Intellectual property rights through the awarding of patents spurred innovations from the cotton gin to mechanical power and GMO plant varieties that revolutionized agriculture.
