The Morrill-Land Grant provided free land from the federal government to build agricultural colleges. This grant program ensured the US was continuing technological advances in agriculture. In doing this it made sure the Mid-west had a viable economy and a place in the US economic system. Many colleges were built with a focus in agriculture, an example is Iowa State.
