Whether it’s a measure of impatience or just wanting to put more focus on the RMRP, you direct increased industrial effort as well as the Secretary of Commerce to assist with the construction and expansion of farms around the Region.
The assignment of Secretary Garret is designed not for her to lend her scant agricultural expertise but to advise on crops that trade the best on the open market. That was the intention, at least.
In practice, there were a lot of mixed signals and surprising friction between Secretary Gunderson and Secretary Garret. Dual complaints lodged by the Agriculture and Commerce secretaries paint two very different pictures.
Secretary Gunderson claimed that Garret came out to the sharecropper farm one day and immediately started ordering around the farmers and handful of Ag Department staff, urging them to uproot the maize to make room for Xander root. The farmers on-site didn’t know whose authority she came under but recognized her as the Commerce Secretary and started switching over crops.
Ted was soon contacted by the foreman and he rushed over to the sharecropper farm to figure out why the Secretary of Commerce was ripping stalks of corn from the ground. Another argument ensued with disagreements on whose authority applied and why the Commerce Secretary was sent out.
After a full day of disagreement and negotiation, Secretary Garret departed the farm and left Secretary Gunderson to clean up the mess. He predicts that there’s no real negative impact on Stage 2 of the RMRP but bemoans the loss of time and energy for a relatively simple issue to fix.
Secretary Garret is marginally more upset, bringing up concerns with lack of direction and underscoring her relative inexperience with agriculture. The silver lining is her admittance that she needs to learn more about the region’s resources and will make a greater effort to learn from other departments first.
You can’t help but feel annoyed after reading both reports, feeling like a father trying to keep control of unruly children than running a government.
