CLEMSON, SC (AP) -- State budget cuts are affecting more than just humans at Clemson University.
The Anderson Independent-Mail reports that the school's Public Service Activities arm, which includes agriculture and related services, also is making do with less.
A school official says the research farm services, which includes five animal farms, an aquaculture farm and crop farms, cut back 30 percent to 40 percent this year.
Garland Veasey, director of the farms, said that has meant selling animals, buying less feed and plans to plant fewer crops. But Veasey also says there has been no permanent decision made to close any of the facilities.
He also said no employees have been let go, and the research and education programs are still being offered.
