| Message | All our provinces are different to each other, therefore the national government cannot decide what is best for each of their farms. In some provinces they might experience constant droughts or they might have large wildlife preserves, if that is the case they might want to regulate the sizes of their farms. Another province's economy might rely mostly on the farming industry, so they might decide to not regulate their farms. |

| Message | The gov. should not tell the farmers how much land they can have. The farmers are the one with experience with farming so they should be able to decide for themselves. |

| Message | Farmers are governed by self-interest. In areas which are very fragile ecologically, they may not care whether or not they overfarm and don't allow buffer zones of natural vegetation to hold the soil together. This will cause erosion. Regulation is needed. Support. |

| Message | Thank you for your support BSP and we would like to point out to the Caleb Party that in other nations farms are destroying their country through erosion. |
