A farm was land designated for agricultural use, consisting of various structures such as barns and silos, tracts of fields for grazing or crops, and farm implements for maintaining all of the above.
Agricultural planets and regions[]
- See also: Agricultural colony
Certain planets and regions of planets are better suited for agriculture than others:
- A farm on the Akaali homeworld was chosen to be the landing site for a landing party from Enterprise NX-01 in 2151 to minimize the risk of cultural contamination. (ENT: "Civilization")
- The US state of Iowa on Earth was traditionally associated with agriculture, so much that the term "farm boy" was used to refer to a well-known native as early (through time travel) as 1986 and as late as 2255. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home; Star Trek)
- The Ketha Province on the planet Qo'noS was an impoverished area dominated by agricultural usage. (DS9: "Once More Unto the Breach")
- The Dahkur Province was a region on Bajor dominated by agricultural use. (DS9: "Shakaar")
- The Rakantha Province was a region on Bajor that once had very productive agricultural lands. (DS9: "Shakaar", "Resurrection")
- The Brunali were an agricultural species whose homeworld was in the Delta Quadrant. (VOY: "Collective")
- The planet Camor V had one agricultural area on the southern continent. (TNG: "Bloodlines")
- The planet Ventax II became an entirely agrarian society, following the creation of the story of Ardra. (TNG: "Devil's Due")
- The planet Bootes III was otherwise known as "a farm planet". The farming there was tended by automatic machinery as well as a few Humans, which included Eve McHuron and her brothers. (TOS: "Mudd's Women")
A scene cut from "True Q" had Amanda Rogers musing that maybe she should study agriculture and then have a big farm somewhere. [1]
In the Worlds of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novella The Lotus Flower, Keiko O'Brien oversees the planet Cardassia's agricultural renewal in late 2376.
