Welcome to West Central District 7
The Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at San Angelo is headquarters for the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service components of the Texas A&M System, serving the citizens of West Central Texas.
Our A&M AgriLife Research program mission is to develop “ranching solutions.” To accomplish this mission, we develop technologies to improve the efficiency of livestock and wildlife production while also improving the ecological condition of rangelands. Scientists at the center conduct research here and at satellite stations located near Sonora, Ozona, Menard and Carlsbad.
The A&M AgriLife Extension specialists, regional program leaders and district AgriLife Extension administrator headquartered at the center give support to AgriLife Extension agents, providing educational programs at the county level in the areas of agriculture and natural resources, family and consumer sciences, the 4-H youth program and the Better Living for Texans initiative.
