Salt, of the earth, yessir! Why, the farmers
provide the major source of food for your islanders!
Without these hardworking fellas, your people would
starve!There's much more than food to use these guys for,
though. Tobacco and sugar, for example, won't feed your
people, but will make lots of money for the economy, and can
be used to make cigars and rum! These multitalented
peasants can produce corn, sugar, bananas, papaya, coffee,
pineapple, cattle and goat! It's fair to say that the
farmers of your island make up one of the most important
groups to watch.concept sketches.
Comments: Agriculture is, of course,
one of the most industries of the Tropican Nation. Not only
does it produce food for your people, but it provides an export as
well as resources for refinement in your canneries, cigar factories
and rum distilleries. Some crops
provide plenty of food while others make lots of money on the world
market. So it's good to have a variety of crops. And
then there are the cattle and goats raised at the ranches, as
well. Yes, you'll have plenty of these back-water agronomists
running around, tilling the soiling, herding the calves, doing what
they can to feed your people in one of the oldest and most respected
professions around.
