Due to climatic similarities, [[Agriculture in Great Kirav|crops grown in northern Kiravian states]] like [[Kaviska]] and [[Fariva]] also grow well in Atrassica. These include such important Kiravian staples as {{wp|potato}}, {{wp|rye}}, {{wp|elymus}}, {{wp|buckwheat}}, {{wp|oats}}, {{wp|Arctic brome}} (for animal feed), {{wp|barley}} (featured on the provincial flag), cabbage, and collard. Pumpkins, gourds, and squash are grown extensively, and the province is ranked among the leading Kiravian producers and is the top interprovincial exporter of this category of produce, selling mainly to [[Æonara]]n and [[Krasoa Islands]] wholesalers. Corn is also grown more widely in Atrassica than in mainland Kiravian states of comparable altitude and climate.

Large manorial estates or plantations were never viable in Atrassica, and as such most Atrassican agriculture takes place on family farmsteads, or on communally-managed land belonging to block settlements or Movement settlements/settlement towns or native reserves.  
Large manorial estates or plantations were never viable in Atrassica, and as such most Atrassican agriculture takes place on family farmsteads, or on communally-managed land belonging to block settlements or Movement settlements/settlement towns or native reserves. The family-smallholder basis of Atrassican agriculture intensified during the [[Sunderance]] when the rump Federalist government implemented [[Land reform in Kiravia|a series of land reforms]] that redistributed land to tenant farmers and landless field labourers. In addition, the government resettled some 50,000 refugee farming families displaced from areas occupied by the Kiravian Union, many from [[Koskenkorva]]. The postwar resettlement and reorganisation programme also transferred some land to farms considered too small for efficient operations.
