It is part of a working farm operated by the College of Agriculture, Health and Natural Resources in support of its teaching, research, and extension programs. The fields are used for pasture and to grow corn and hay for the College's livestock (including cows that produce the milk used to make the ice cream you may be eating right now!).
Hay is harvested throughout the summer and into the fall. Corn is chopped in the fall and preserved as silage.
