(a) All the experiment farms and stations are under the
supervision, management and control of the board of trustees of
the University of Wyoming.
(b) The board of trustees of the University of Wyoming may
employ a director of experiments, who shall receive a salary
fixed by the board and necessary traveling expenses, and shall
perform such duties as assigned to him by the board. The
director of experiments, with the approval of the board, shall:
(i) Manage and control the experiment farms;
(ii) Manage, control and dispose of personal property
used in connection with experiment farms and stations;
(iii) Employ practical and experienced dry farmers,
irrigation farmers, horticulturists, persons skilled in animal
husbandry and other agents and servants, who shall under his
direction cultivate the farms, conduct experiments thereon,
demonstrate the adaptability of various soils and climatic
conditions for the production of different kinds of grain,
grasses, vegetables, shade, ornamental and fruitbearing trees,
vines and bushes that may profitably be grown in the varied
locations of the farms of the state, and conduct such other
experiments as advisable in animal husbandry.
(c) The director of the experiments shall carefully
record, preserve and compile the results of all experiments and
demonstrations and report the results publicly on a regular
basis.
(d) The sale and disposition of all crops and livestock
raised or produced upon experiment farms shall be made by the
director of the Wyoming agricultural experiment station jointly
with the director of experiments. Any money realized from sales
in excess of the expense of conducting the farms shall be turned
over to the treasury of the state.
(e) Before purchasing any land for use in the agricultural
experiment and research program at the University of Wyoming,
the board of trustees shall determine the location of all lands
owned by the state or any agency of the state and the use being
made of such state lands. The board of trustees shall negotiate
with the agency of the state responsible for the administration
and control of such state lands to determine the feasibility of
leasing such state lands for use in the agricultural experiment
and research program providing the lands available are suitable
to the purpose. Any state agency which owns or has
responsibility for the administration and control of state lands
shall negotiate with the University of Wyoming in leasing such
lands, at the fair market value, provided the use of the land by
the university is not inconsistent with the use for which the
land is held by the state or agency.
