There are many farms in Erieville but there 

are two major ones.

 One is in Newtown and the other is located 

Hellertown.  

They are on opposites sides of the island, so 

everyone has easy access to food.

The Newtown farm is about 400 acres. 

The Hellertown farm is only 350 acres.

They use shifting cultivation on the large 

farms and the other farms are family 

owned. The large farms are communal, so 

everyone can use the land.

Due to the location of the farms, they will 

use shifting cultivation. They practice this 

type of farming because the climate is fit 

for this farming. Machinery should be 

used but they have trouble getting ahold of 

any technology.

They will grow mainly the   same crops 

for majority of the year. Their cash 

crops are coffee beans and tobacco. 

The farms will not be subsidized by the 

government because they sell to 

MDC's.

When their crops   are ready for export, 

they ship them by plane or boat 

depending on which country the crops 

are traveling   to.

The main targets are MDC's because 

they have the climate to grow the crops 

that MDC's can not. The MDC's also give 

them machinery that they can use for 

their smaller, subsistence farming.

The   main concern for these farms is  

the cash crops. Coffee beans and 

tobacco are not food,   so the villagers 

are not getting the adequate nutrients 

they need from these crops. We can 

solve these problems are trying to 

make corn or wheat our cash crop, but 

climate may be a challenge   in that 

mission.

The farms would fall under the third ring, 

crop rotation. Our farms deal with only 

crops and no livestock so it would make 

sense they are in crop rotation.

Our countries economy is based pretty 

heavily off these farms. Without the 

exports, our country would not have 

enough money to import the 

manufactured goods Erieville cant 

produce.
