Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Teach Your Farmers Well
After witnessing the horrors of both falling crop yields and furious farmers, your Secretary of Agriculture has proposed state-funded agricultural education.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “Agriculture used to be the primary industry of NATIONSNAME and now look at us! Our lettuce is a let-down and our beets are barely pink!” exclaims Stefanie Winters, your Secretary of Agriculture. “But just send some funding to colleges, and show those city boys how to weed, water, and sow! It’ll cost the taxpayer, but I’m sure they’ll sacrifice a few CURRENCY for firmer tomatoes and browner potatoes!”
2. “Well, that’s one option,” muses Bruce Woolf, an acquaintance of your brother’s mother-in-law, “but this is such a fundamental sector of our economy that we can’t leave it up to the farmers to choose whether they go to college or not. The government ought to make getting a degree mandatory to enter agriculture. Doctors and lawyers already need them, and can you really call them more important than the farmers?”
3. “Mandatory degree?!” thunders Kirby Nguyen from atop his tractor. “Them college boys don’t know nothing about farmin’ that my old man didn’t teach me! We’ve been tilling this land for seven generations, and by hickory we know how to do it best – we don’t need any guv’ment folks tellin’ us where to plant potatoes or what pest killers we can use! Now some of us farmers ain’t the best, but same goes for those university-educated doctors and lawyers!” He trails off, still angrily waving an absurdly tiny carrot.
4. “You know, all this talk has got me thinking,” notes socialist thinker Jennifer Ruff, brandishing a sickle. “NATIONSNAME has plenty of arable land, just perfect for cultivation. But we’re going about it precisely the wrong way. You just can’t trust private citizens with the people’s own food. If we just nationalize the farms, production will surely rise! And with it, the proletariat!”
