| Message | Article 1 Local governments are more capable of deciding farm size limits, as they know more about their land. Article 2 GM crops provide no threat to anyone, banning them is reactionary crap. |

| Message | Local Government has not been capable which is why its being purposed here and even if the local governments are capable of dealing with the issue, then this will give them more support to know the federal government is on the side of the landless peasant movement. The Democratic Socialist Party is standing for the land owning Elites. |

| Message | We do not have 'peasants' and we quite honestly find it an offensive term, and believe many farmers and others who don't live in cities would as well. Beyond that actual farms are on the decline, as they are gradually being replaced by the more efficient and environmentally friendly vertical farm towers that are being built in Sekowo's cities. |

| Message | The Peasantry, is the class of people who work the land to produce a crop for sale on the market. As for vertical farms, you are an acid tripped hippie. |

| Message | There is a bill from several decades ago establishing urban farming, including vertical farms. |

| Message | While we support urban farming, it is and never will be as affective as the experienced hard working peasantry. Try to raise cows in the middle of the city. |

| Message | Urban farming, vertical farming particularly is much more successful and environmentally friendly than normal farming. Vertical farms have the following superior qualities; -Capability of raising over 60 acres of food in a space that only takes up 2 acres of land. -Climate control, therefore eliminating the unpredictable and often disastrous storms and frosts. -Year long production, vertical farms are capable of producing crops all year, rather than only 1/2 to 1/3 of the time. -Proximity, vertical farms are located in cities and are thusly closer to the people, reducing emissions that would normally be emitted carrying the crops to the city as well as making crops fresher at the market. While we are currently only using vertical farms to grow crops, it is quite possible to create some that chickens and cattle could roam and be raised in. |

| Message | This attempt to limit the freedom of our hardworking agricultural sector is a disgrace. For shame |

| Message | Tho props for use of the term acid tripping hippie. |
