The Eastern Agricultural Research Station was established in 1965 through the purchase of a 728-acre block of hilly land near Belle Valley in Noble County. This land, along with 40 acres acquired later on, is known as Unit I. The Station's size was significantly increased in 1966, when the Union Carbide Corporation and the Baker-Noon Coal Company donated an additional 1,325 acres that had been extensively strip-mined for coal. This area is known as Unit II and was the subject of land reclamation experiments through the 1990s.

Eastern Ohio is particularly well suited to the production of forage grasses and legumes, spurring the development of numerous livestock operations in the region. As a result, Appalachian counties produce the bulk of Ohio's beef cattle and have become the center of Ohio's sheep industry. These forage and livestock industries are supported by numerous research projects and trials conducted year-round at the Eastern Agricultural Station, which also works to optimize the region's vast natural resources and to ensure the sustainability of both agriculture and the environment. Research at the Station focuses on management systems that address all aspects involved in successfully running a complete livestock operation.
