Forlong 1,726 March 30, 2012 Share March 30, 2012 At first, I thought that was just Pinkie Pie being silly. However, after more thought, a rock farm does sound like it would have a practical use in this world. Dragons eat rocks and "age" them, so ponies might need rocks to lure dragons to places where they won't cause trouble. 5 Check out my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5qXAcUzrizEHvorGalU5jg?feature=watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trixies Apprentice L 493 March 30, 2012 Share March 30, 2012 I personaly believe that the gems are growing inside rocks so that what a rock farm was all about but this also sounds legit 1 ~In construction~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eenohay 318 March 30, 2012 Share March 30, 2012 Well actually if you haven't realized, rocks are used for construction, so it does make sense in a way, but sill rocks can't be "farmed" just mined. Although my organic gems theory that says that gems are actually protist beings that reproduce would aplly to rocks aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to be a stranger 7,993 March 30, 2012 Share March 30, 2012 Gravel is a bigger industry than most people think. Concrete, construction, road maintenance and landscaping all need a lot of it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
be my waifu 2,842 March 30, 2012 Share March 30, 2012 Considering you can find gems the size of your fist 2 inches under the ground in Equestria, I'm sure a rock farm would have some sort of practical use in their world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nothing392 61 March 31, 2012 Share March 31, 2012 You can grow crystals in real life, but you need to use chemicals to make the crystallizing process go faster. Maybe the chemicals are located below the farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pony Joe 583 March 31, 2012 Share March 31, 2012 This came up on the Ask The Pie Sisters tumblr. Their answer, in short, was that magical "currents" flowing through the air can grow minerals found in rock. When rock is arranged in such a way to take advantage of these currents, ore within them can be grown ("farmed") at a fast enough rate to make a profit. That's why farm tasks included "rotating rocks to the east field," because the currents change with the seasons. Sounds legit to me. 1 That's really all there is to say on the matter.

Starshine 16,334 March 31, 2012 Share March 31, 2012 In a world where all kind of colorful gems could be find easily under the dirt, naturally growing rocks and minerals is the best theory Besides, how the hay did you use the rocks to lure the dragons?
