The Shole Growers Farm is one of the major 

farms in Drayland. It is located outside of the 

capital city of Neogen near Lake Prosperity. 

This farm is located close to the capital city 

because it is one of the farms that provides the 

population of the capital with food, and its 

close proximity to the capital puts it closer to 

its markets. This allows for the products to get 

to the market without perishing, and it allows 

for lower transportation costs of the farm's 

products.  

The size of the Shole Growers Farm is 

400 acres. This is because it must be 

large enough to have the production 

capacity to supply the population in the 

capital with enough food. Machinery and 

productive growing strategies allow for a 

farm of this size to be productive 

without extensive labor requirements. 

The average farm size in Drayland is 

360 acres.

The Shole Growers Farm practices commercial 

agriculture. This is because it is a large farm that 

is located near the capital city, and it grows all of 

its crops with the intent to sell them to the large 

markets in the capital city. As a result of this, 

there will be less variety in the crops that are 

grown than there would be on a subsistence farm. 

The Shole Growers farm chooses to practice 

commercial agriculture because it allows the farm 

to make money, and it is more practical for 

supplying Drayland with food than a subsistence 

farm would be. 

This farm will use machinery because it is a 

large commercial farm, and machinery will 

greatly increase the productivity of the 

farm. Machines include corn combine 

harvesters and combine rice transplanters 

and harvesters. These machines will be 

used because they increase the efficiency 

and decrease the labor needed in both corn 

and rice farming, allowing the farm to 

produce more and make more money. 

This farm will grow rice and corn. This is 

because both of these crops are able to 

supply plenty of food to feed the population 

in Neogen. Corn is grown because it can be 

processed into various foods that can feed 

a lot of people. It is also able to grow 

during the drier season when rice does not 

grow as well. Rice is grown because the 

climate is suitable and it is a good source 

of food for feeding the population of the 

capital. 

This farm will be subsidized by the 

government because the government 

encourages production of both rice and 

corn, as they are important sources of 

food. These subsidies ensure that farmers 

will grow these necessary crops. The 

subsidies also allow for less expensive 

prices for consumers who are buying the 

products. 

This farm will primarily transport its crops 

by truck. This is because this is the most 

practical method for transporting corn and 

rice to the capital and the processing plants 

due to the farm's close proximity to its 

market. The crops will also be transported 

by trains that run from around the farm to 

the city because it allows for direct routes, 

and one train can carry a large amount of 

corn or rice.
