Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sunseeker" data-source="post: 6137826">In response to that, there's umbran's point of "well hopefully the farmer isn't a complete moron."Farmers generally didn't "live from what the land provided" anyway, and if they did, that livelihood was not dependent on whatever crop they were growing.  You can't eat corn forever, or rice, or potatoes(well, you can but really, who wants to?).  Most farmers grew one or two primary crops, and then grew a smaller garden of crops for their family(cabbage, corn, tomatoes, potatoes, etc...).  It was generally accepted that this was THEIR food, as opposed to the landowners.  Barring that, the farmer would have had to trade or sell his crops anyway with the other farmers selling their food.While seeds could be harvested from most crops, they often weren't because you have to remember that for the vast majority of foods, the seeds are being eaten.  Every crop that he pulls seeds from, is one crop he can't sell, and often landowners took seeds too and resold them back to the farmer anyway.Likewise, if the season is still good, he has plenty of time to grow other crops.  If he chooses to let his field lay fallow, he can also do other work around town to earn food for his family without having to spend gold.Assuming be blabs yes.  But again this is also a problem with adventurer income in the gold by level system, a party of 4-6 adventurers could easily end world hunger and poverty with the amount of gold they sit on and regularly discover.</blockquote>
