Abstract: The role of nonmonetary values in the Hatch Act of 1887 is examined. The results demonstrate that the decentralized U.S. system of applied agricultural research is the product of a compromise between the values of scientists, legislators, and farmers. The institutional form chosen has enhanced the system's capacity to improve agricultural productivity.
