Agriculture Fields

The agriculture fields, the main source of plant life for the Weyr, are not fashioned in the manner most would think. To make the most use of space, the fields are terraced, flat plots carved into the slope all the way around the reservoir. The majority of plants are edible, though a few are for resources. Cottons and hemp are both heavily favored, one for its use in making clothing, the other to make rope for the fishing nets. Leafy greens, being easier to grow than some others, make many appearances in the diet, while no citrus can be grown and the only way to get any is if one of the dragons come across it while they are out and about. Drudges and candidates constantly tend to these fields, and the place is never without some occupant or another.
