Budget cuts certainly are a tough row to hoe.

In light of the recent budget reduction, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln has decided to sell all buildings on East Campus and rent out vacant lands plots to agronomy students to alleviate budget issues.

The agronomy degree path now includes farming the university’s land and funneling all profits back to UNL. Despite complaints from students, the College of Agricultural Sciences announced each season will only count as 1 credit hour, and attendance is mandatory.

Land will be expensive, but students will be given the option of renting used land for a reduced rate. Used land is notorious for having unhelpful notes and an unsettling stickiness. The university suggests this is separating the wheat from the chaff as agronomy students will prove their worth in a farming battle royale.

Agronomy junior Sawyer Dettlaff was unhappy about the change, saying, “This is stupid. I’ll just be a business major.”

The DailyER attempted to get a comment from Chancellor Ronnie Green but felt that quotes regarding rock walls and Scott Frost were not relevant.
