Bill: Strong Agriculture bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: Aloria United
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: August 2123
Description[?]:
| Farmers who require subsidisation are not competitive enough, and all we are doing is temporarily keeping them afloat. Many country's farmers have no subsidisation and have a thriving agricultural sector. An incentive should be provided to those farmers that improve the local biosphere and state's ecological safety, also. |

Old value:: The government subsidises agriculture based on market demand for the crop being grown.
Current: The government allows local governments to craft agricultural subsidy policy.

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
