Bill: Agriculture Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Dorvish Popular Front
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: February 2391
Description[?]:
| We must take action to ensure necessities are grown in Dorvik, rather than farms being dedicated to cash crops. Necessary crops that are not favoured by farmers as they are not profitable will be grown on State owned farms. This will also allow us to plan production levels to maintain low food prices and enough for all, with a surplus that can be sold abroad. Encouraging these farms to merge into larger farms will allow more efficiency and the use of heavy technical machinery. |
