The future of the farms is threatened by these concurrent events. Private White was investigating this on his own time, but has since disappeared after going to Westside.
To top of the radiation problems, someone has been syphoning water, which in turn left the farmers with only 80% of the intended water ration. Ĭurrently, some of the workers are experiencing poor crop growth because of radiation seeping into the ground from an unknown source. There are even plans to increase water flow and number of farms in the next few years in an attempt to get the New Vegas residents to vote for annexation in the NCR.
īy 2281, the farms are producing a good amount of crops of all kinds, including Maize and even tobacco, in spite of water rationing and bad soil. A military unit is present on the premises at all times to deter theft of foodstuffs. The Office of Science and Industry in Camp McCarran also pre-calculates the amount of water needed for every crop to produce optimal crop yield with the least amount of water used. All the water arrives via a pipe system that pumps water from Lake Mead for the irrigation, taking it several miles to reach the sharecrop farms. Along with protection, the NCR offers housing, food, and water to New Vegas' sharecroppers who tend crops on a large swath of land southeast of Freeside’s east gate. The farms are a practical manifestation of the Thaler Act, under which private farmers would come to the Mojave Wasteland to farm the land for the New California Republic government in exchange for the NCR's military protection (and to protect their investment), as well as a portion of the crop yield going to Camp McCarran, Hoover Dam and other military locations in the Mojave.
