HOW EACH POOR FAMILY CAN HAVE ITS FARMLAND RANCHARD AS WELL?

One main reason why people had abandoned the land and the farm is this: It ceased to provide prosperity.

Reasons:

1. the size of land per capita (per family) has become smaller as each present landowner, e.g., the father, divide his land to his children as inheritance.

For example: During our grandfather’s generation, they had bigger land as much as 10 hectares or more. This size of land to allocate for farm was enough to feed our grandparents’ family of 10 or even more.

Then the land was divided among 10 children; so the 10 hectare per family became 1 hectare per family.

This instantly make the farm/land insufficient to feed a family. Thus, came employment and the need to get an education for employment.

The practice of dividing the family land as inheritance up to a 1 square meter per heir is not a good method.

Better alternative system:

First: let the people cease recognizing a govenment that imposes human will instead of God’s will.

Second, let all recognize God’s government and will for every aspect; the government serving as God’s steward;

Third, in the area of landholding, let the whole land be taken back by the government so reset can be done, namely: the land will be re-divided into uniform size, e.g., 5 hectares per piece.

Fourth, let the government finance the development of all pieces simultaneously; no piece shall be left out, including those which are still vacant (no occupant/ recipient yet). The vacant piece is to be prepared, that is, to be made ready to sustain a family, far in advance;

Fifth, let existing families be the first recipient;

Sixth, the vacant lots will be given to newly wed/ new family as the nation’s wedding gift to the couple; since all vacant lots are developed simultaneously or along with those with occupants, these vacant lots will already be a fruit-bearing, productive, profitable, sustainable farm when given to a newly wed during their wedding day;

Seventh, the financing of each lot is by the government, that is, by the taxes of the people; the whole nation financing each lot’s development;

Eight, a lot is not inheritable to all children, nor divisible to the heirs. Each lot of a parent is bequiathable only to one child, preferably the oldest so the oldest can help his younger brothers and sisters;

Ninth, the rest of the children shall avail their ready 5-hectare lot from the government, every wedding day;

Tenth, if it is the oldest son who marries, and his father’s lot is still needed by the family, this oldest son will avail the free 5-hectare lot from the goverment which he will operate until his last youngest brother’s wedding. At the wedding day of his youngest brother, he, not the government, will give his farmlot to his youngest brother, and he, the oldest, will resume/ take over their father’s lot;

Eleventh, therefore, during the whole process, the eldest son will co-manage both his father’s lot assisting his father and manage his own lot. In case his father dies, he will take full management of their family’s lot to ensure it generates the needed produce and gain to support the still weak members of the family.

Twelfth, as always understood, the family shall avail the govenment help in case of need.

Thirteenth. Daughters or female members of the family will not have a 5-hectare share; only the male and only when they get married. So, the wife will be taken care by the husband and his 5-hectare lot given by the government;

Fourteenth. Unmarried sons and daughters, will remain in their parents’ home-lot which cannot and will not be given to the oldest while there is still a member, the unmarried, who needs it.

Fifteenth. Any complication or prolblem that may arise out of this system or will remain unsolved by this system, shall be resolved using God’s love and wisdom.

This is what will happen when man stops claiming ownership of what only God owns and only views himself as recipient and steward.

Sixteenth. The land is distributable but not inheritable, not divisible once it has been already divided into uniform sizes; thus, saving a lot of money, time, effort and other resources which are continuously wasted by the present system’s foolish practice of selling, buying or bequiathing the land.

The indivisible and non-commerciable 5-hectare lot will preserve its boundaries/ fences, and prevent its trees, fences, and all kinds of development from getting demolished which demolition oftentimes occurs under the present time of buying lands and consolidating and when the owner gets older and sick, selling or bequaething his land to his children which practice of selling or inheritance causes the boundaries of each piece to constantly change, resulting to the domolition of fences, bulding, cutting of trees which took years to grow... thus, the nation and the clan keeps on losing every time a fence or a tree or a structure is demolished.

In the new system, each lot is not divisible and not commercialbe, that is, it cannot be sold nor bought; so the boundaries, fences, structures, trees remain intact.

LOTS OF PRESENT DAY PROBLEMS SHALL BE SOLVED BY THE DISTRIBUTION OF 5-HECTARE LAND AND THEIR DEVELOPMENT INTO RANCHARD
