New at five, Eyewitness News reporter Sid Garcia shows us how students and faculty members are dealing with the cutbacks. This Arabian horse ranch is one of the biggest in the United States. It's also a classroom located on the campus of Cal Poly Pomona. This country market is also a classroom. The young people who work at both are students and they are being paid to learn. And Even though the Arabian Horse Center has been funded by cereal maker Kellogg since it opened back in 1925, it's had to cut back on classes that teach students how to work with animals. We've had to limit our n We haven't been able to offer those, simply because we don't have enough money for the professors to teach those courses. The campus farm produces around 80% of the produce it sells in the store. The store is self-sufficient. Every last penny that's left after the bills are paid for utilities, seeds, equipment maintenance, and much more goes right back into keeping its doors open. We get real word of experience all the time. And I mean, I've learned just as much as I have in class and here at my job. This gives you an idea of the variety of produce they grow here. Three tops of watermelon, red, orange, and yellow. And this year, for the first time, they're actually gonna put some money away, which is really, really tasty success when you think about this on a state university campus. The campus store generated $1. 3 million in sales during the last school year. 4% of that was profit. The most important thing that we can do is keep the revenue up because that means I can employ more students so that they can pay for themselves to get through school. There will be fewer classes offered this fall. This, as demand for ag science courses, has increased according to the university by more than 20% in the past five years.
