Welcome to the Stillwater ARS Web Site!  Stillwater ARS is a research resource of the Agricultural Research Service, the largest agricultural research organization in the world.  The Agricultural Research Service is the primary scientific research agency of the United States Department of Agriculture.  Stillwater ARS has two primary research units.  The Wheat, Peanut and Other Field Crops Research Unit focuses on developing alternatives to chemical pesticides to protect plants from insect and disease pests, while the Hydraulic Engineering Research Unit focuses on developing safe and effective hydraulic structures to control surface water runoff .

Stillwater ARS is committed to making its web sites accessible to all USDA customers and employees. All of the agency web sites are undergoing review and redesign as necessary to ensure that they meet or exceed the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Many of our web sites currently meet the Section 508 accessibility standards. Furthermore, Stillwater ARS continues to work on making all web sites accessible. Thank you very much for your patience through this redesign process.
