Iberia Research Station

Nestled along the banks of Bayou Teche, the Iberia Research Station is located in Jeanerette, LA in Iberia Parish.  The 1,172 acre station was founded in 1914 by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a Livestock Experimental Farm to develop beef cattle, dairy cattle and swine that were adapted to the challenging Gulf Coast environment.  In 1973, Louisiana State University acquired the research station from the USDA.

The primary mission of the Iberia Research Station is to improve the economic sustainability for production agriculture along Bayou Teche and the Gulf Coast. Numerous research projects are conducted at the station in the areas of sugarcane, soybean, wheat, cover crops, beef cattle, and forage production by LSU Ag Center Scientists.  Additionally, the Iberia Research Station is home to the LSU Ag Center’s and Louisiana Sea Grant’s Seafood Processing Demonstration Laboratory which aims to provide new opportunities for our Louisiana Seafood Industry by creating new and value-added products to enhance economic growth and sustainability.
