The Center is located on US Hwy 70 about 6 miles southwest of Vernon, TX on a 51 acre tract of land donated by the Lockett family. Numerous local individuals and organizations provided donations for the establishment of the Center.  Among these was a substantial gift from the E. Paul and Helen Buck Waggoner Foundation.  An additional 25 acres of farmland across US 70 from the Center was donated by the Pioneer Seed Company in 1988.  The Center conducts research involving wheat varieties, evaluation of new or specialized crops, forage and grazing management, soil fertility, weed control, insects, and integrated ranch management for livestock and wildlife production.

The Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Vernon was established in 1971 and opened in September 1972.  The Center was designed to provide support for agricultural enterprises of the Rolling Plains region of Texas.  Research activities are conducted by scientists of the Texas AgriLife Research while Extension programs are conducted by county agents and specialists of the Texas AgriLife Extension Service who take this research based information to the citizens.  The Center is headquarters for Extension District 3, which contains 25 counties in North Central Texas.
