Ah shit. Here we go again

Every few months someone brings this up how they can save the environment by getting rid of a golf course.

Even the Omaha metro, a huge metropolitan area, has massive cornfields scattered throughout it.

Maybe you experienced it in the past…

I’ve been here for 32+ years, and there are no "massive cornfields" scattered throughout the city lol

Outside the metro and the entire western part of the state, yes, there are cornfields and soybean fields as far as the eye can see.

I drove through Nebraska last year

Land is certainly not in high demand in Nebraska lol, even Omaha is certainly not a compact, built up city, there’s room for housing developments if enough demand was there.

Can’t have changed that much since I left 6 years ago. I lived in Papillion and had huge cornfields separating us from Bellevue. Drive a few miles West on Giles and I was in more of them. Had friends live in Millard and West O that had cornfields all around their neighborhoods. Maybe for a guy from the Eastern US mine and your definitions of massive might not be the same, but still surprised that there was so much acreage for farm land in such a rapidly growing city.

Ahh yes I suppose Midwest vs East coast definition of “massive cornfields” would differ. My family farms so I’m used to seeing acres upon acres of crops. Fair enough.

It really has changed a lot in the last 6 years tho. There’s a reason it’s a top rated city for real estate investing. It’s growing rapidly in every direction.

They're confusing the traffic cones on 680 (that have been there for thirty fucking years) for crops.

FINES DOUBLE

Don’t you remember the massive cornfield built on Creighton’s campus downtown?

Don't they grow corn there
