	== ~~Willow District~~ ==		== Agriculture ==
	~~Willow Farming District is the property~~ of the ~~Federal Government~~. ~~It may be run by a Federal Department or governed by a board~~ of ~~no more than three (3) members~~, ~~comprised of ex officio members drawn from civil service positions relevant to~~ the ~~administration~~ of the ~~district~~.		The agricultural area of Redmont, located on the central isle, exists to provide accessible farming opportunities for players, particularly new players. Any local government established with jurisdiction over this area, with the exception of the fishing town, must ensure that agricultural activity remains the primary purpose of the area.

	~~Willow’s primary purpose is to operate as a farming district, providing accessible agricultural plots for players, particularly new players~~. ~~To ensure plot rotation and continued accessibility, all~~ plots ~~within Willow located west of the highway~~ must remain ~~rental-only~~ and ~~shall~~ not be ~~sold~~ or ~~converted~~ to freehold.		Farmland Plots. Farm plots must remain leasehold and may not be converted to freehold or removed. Large farmland plots may be subdivided with the approval of the appropriate Federal authority. This requirement exists to facilitate plot rotation and ensure that farmland remains available to those who need it. Existing freehold plots are grandfathered.

	~~Willow '''is not intended to function as a commercial centre~~.~~''' Commercialisation within the district~~ must be ~~kept to a minimum and remain incidental to its agricultural purpose~~.		Ranch Plots. Ranch plots may remain freehold and but must not otherwise be amended or removed.

	~~Reason:~~		All activity, other than agriculture, within the agricultural area must remain incidental to its agricultural purpose. Commercialisation must be limited to activities that directly support or compliment the agricultural community and must not undermine the area’s primary agricultural function.

	* Willow has undergone several structural changes throughout its existence, ~~most commonly alternating between a designated farming district and a highly commercialised area. However~~, ~~demand for farmland remains consistently significant, and Willow is presently~~ the ~~only location where players can easily and affordably access farming plots.~~

	* Previous attempts to ~~commercialise Willow have resulted in underutilised commercial land within what is fundamentally an~~ agricultural ~~centre~~. ~~These outcomes demonstrate~~ that ~~Willow functions most effectively when its~~ primary ~~focus remains~~ agricultural~~, with commercial activity kept strictly incidental.~~
