| Message | By providing subsidises to the low-income farming familes we insure that all farmers, great or small are capable of producing the needed goods for our current and future needs. At the same time it is important to keep the integrity of our drinking and fishing water. To date there is no record of what chemicals may be washing into our waters. We must be aware of the usage to better understand what further regulation may be required. |

| Message | First, welcome to Keymon. May your apparently silly party prosper. As for your bill, we of course oppose it as needless regulation. Furthermore, in the city-state of Keymon, there is little farming. If government must regulate, surely it can regulate something of value and interest rather than non-existent farms using non-existent pesticides. |

| Message | Farming subsidies are a waste of money. The money would be far better spent industrializing our nation and providing high paying employment for our citizens. |

| Message | We have a number of High-yield plantations. Many of these feed those who work in our industries. Being self-sufficient in food saves us money in our importants, leaving more for expenditures on industrializing our nation further. These plantations are often run by the poor of our nation and deserve our support. |
