[sup]New Saiyako Industry's heavy duty tractor[/sup]
[/center]

	Hailed by the reopening of Saiyako Motor Industries, there has been another new push towards the reinvigoration of our nation's agriculture. In addition to the new heavy duty vehicles which Saiyako Motors has already started to build, break throughs in the art of fertilizers and reconstruction of both old and damaged pipe lines to provide more irrigation are hoped to increase the amount of crops per harvest. Some worry that these changes have come to late in the year to take full effect however, one farmer in Kahime notes, "They give us machines and plows when the fields already have seeds, they give us fertilizer when the seeds have already grown." Local magistrates and regional officials however that these changes "will not provide immediate benefits for this year, but if we are patient, they will undoubtedly assist in the many years to come."

	The Ministry of Agriculture is hoping that with all the new programs to mechanize and modernize, the age old traditional tilling the earth will result in fruitful harvests and the bounties of nature be presented to us. Several shine masters also claim that prayers will help just as much as the machinery, sparking controversy when Shimazu Tadayoshi, CEO and owner of Saiyako Motors, said "then let us stop farming and see how much bread the gods will provide us".

	Of recent, there seems to be a new craze sweeping the nation: flying. Although there is no official program, some have taken upon themselves to create "sky guilds" for flying and airplane enthusiasts. These clubs vary from simple hot air ballooners to complex discussions on how the west manages to create its flying machines. The prestigious University of Meiji says that several of its engineering and physics students have teamed up to discuss not only how to create planes, but also make them better. This new "Flying Club" at the University has already seen some small gliders being thrown from the roof although nothing major. However, the increase of flying enthusiasm comes those who wish to tame the sky in full sized gliders, already leading to an increase injury rate. Doctors warn those who participate in not only gliding activities but general flying-related activities that failure to control your craft can lead to broken bones and possibly fatal injury.
