Education was originally only accessible through wealth and established schools were limited to the teaching of language and religion, also known as classical education. However, this law changed precedent and provided education at a discounted price to lower and middle class American citizens. The education resulting from this act also met the demands of a growing and industrializing nation, as it provided educated scientists and engineers to help reduce the growing deficit the country had experienced since its founding (Loss , C.). Many people seized this opportunity and their success in the land grant schools significantly changed the way agriculture currently works. For example, it is common for today's farmers to consider the effects of environment, photosynthesis rate, respiration, and water consumption on their crop yield, but without students who attended the land grant colleges established by the Morrill Act, this information may not have been found until several years later (Edmond). The evidence that students witnessed during their studies was then used to provide a basic understanding of the different regions for which crops and animals were best suited. For example, Arizona is best suited for growing winter wheat and sheep because of its arid environment, according to The Magnificent Charter. Students at land grant colleges also participated in agricultural progress during World War I, when foods were discovered to be severely deficient in vitamins. With slightly more government funding, the students were able to quickly expand their research and find ways to produce foods with more vitamins. More recently, in 1970, the United States faced a fungus that infected corn fields in many Southeastern states. Fortunately, the Morrill Land Grant Act has continually
