I worked on an A&M owned feedlot and farm in Bushland TX. Can Randall County get in on this?

The Extension Service has an office in every county in Texas.

Extension offices are usually owned by the county. Eagle most likely worked at a research station. Which is owned by who? The University or the System?

The fact is is that Brazos County can be considered "Aggieland" with College Station being the home of Texas A&M with Bryan having some A&M facilities, The entry signs into Bryan may be true, but somewhat misleading....that's marketing,

Bryan does a great job of bring in new business and developing the East side and West sides. The main issue I see is what Texas Ave has become. The other day when driving through Bryan from Hearne, I counted 28 vacant buildings on Texas Ave and that's not counting those vacancies in strip centers. I don't know what the answer is, but it looks bad,

The medians looked great,

To be fair, the largest portion of the "land" grant for TAMU is in Burleson county. Maybe we can add Snook to the Aggieland communities.




The 1,000 acres in Burleson county east and west of Hwy 50 was purchased by A&M from a couple of local residents in 1944. I don't think any of the land was part of the Land Grant 2,416 acres in 1871,

They may own other lands in Burleson co0nty but probably not part of the 1871 deal.

That is why I put the "land" in quotation marks. The point is the triviality of the original premise. An Aggie is a point of view, not a location.
no issues here. I was referring to the word grant. They bought it.

About the only Extension Service and Ag Experiment Station locations that A&M actually are the 13 research and extension locations, Even some of the Texas Forest Service's locations are on leased property,

The University alone doesn't own any of them, although most of the research staff have joint appointments,

That's what I figured

That comment "Bryan Texas" is just a news release as to the general location of the news information,

In 1915, Bryan extended south to Dodge Street. See CITYMAP1915-scaled.jpg (25602550)

which is about four miles to Northgate and A&M.

Even some of the old-timers now will tell you that they lived in Bryan and when they were teenagers they drove a few miles to go to A&M,

Maybe CS should absorb Bryan. Then Bryan can also be home of the Ags.
