NCR Sharecropper Farms

The NCR sharecropper farms are a location in the Mojave Wasteland, located directly south of Freeside's east gate. They were erected as part of the implementation of the Thaler Act, under which farmers from the New California Republic would come to the Mojave wasteland to farm the land in exchange for the NCR's military protection.

Background
The NCR provides protection (and water, due to a pipe from Lake Las Vegas) to New Vegas sharecroppers who tend a large allotment southeast of Freeside’s east gate. Currently, some of the workers are not particularly grateful for this arrangement. due to the fact that water is rationed as needed, as calculated by the OSI in Camp McCarran.

Layout
This area consists of a partially enclosed field where the sharecroppers are growing crops, mostly maize. On the field there are several greenhouses with junk walls and a barracks.

Inhabitants

 * Morgan Blake
 * Lieutenant Romanowski

Notable loot

 * Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual can be found inside the barracks (the only normal structure in the fenced in area, located in the northeast corner) on the floor near the south wall.
 * Sunset Sarsaparilla star bottle cap is also in the barracks, on a desk near the eastern door.
 * Dozens of plants including Maize and Honey mesquite pods are within the greenhouses for the player's pickings. No Karma loss or NCR reputation penalties will be incurred despite the plants marked as owned.
 * Explorer's Gear worn by Orion Moreno in his house to the east of the farms
