NCR Sharecropper Farms

The NCR sharecropper farms are a location in the Mojave Wasteland, located directly south of Freeside's east gate.

Background
The farms were established 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. The NCR offers housing, food, protection, and water to New Vegas sharecroppers who tend crops on a large swath of land 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 consisting of mostly maize. Throughout the area, several greenhouses with junk walls and a barracks can be found.

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.
 * A 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 and surrounding areas. No Karma loss or NCR reputation penalties will be incurred despite some of the plants being marked as owned.
