Agriculture demand non-existent, how do I fix?

[DavidDHetzel 1,816]

So I'm building a city that's basically a transition from suburb to farmland, but I built the suburban area first and now the farm demand is non-existent. How do I fix this?

 

Or is there a lot I can use that will boost Agriculture demand?

There are several mods to increase agricultural demand, but a general condition is that the education quotient stays under 100; over that point, none of your sims would want to work the soil from dawn to sunset, opting instead for manufacture works.

Yep. That's why you should always develop farms first and then move on to other stuff. Farms will not abandon even if there is no longer demand.

Agricultural demand has a cap at 30,000 of residential population - it disappears.

An easy fix is to plop the Census Vault building (found in the Census Repository package), which raises the I-Ag demand cap by another 30,000 pop. As far as I can remember, you can plop more than one, if you wish (or it was just me who modded it like that, can't remember exactly). And remember, it just raises caps, doesn't actively increase I-Ag demand.

The Simgoober ditch set also increases Ag demand.

You can download the SPAM. This is a complete reworking of the agricultural part of the game and allows farms to coexist with larger cities and with a more educated populace.

Do not download the SPAM traffic controller.  It conflicts with the NAM.  Otherwise SPAM is a must IMHO.

Also, if you do not care to download the mentioned mods (which I agree with A Nonny Moose, SPAM without the traffic controller IMO is a must), then simply dezone some of your suburb to reduce your population below the 30,000 cap and get rid of your schools.  This should allow the I-AG demand to return.  Once you have grown the farms you want, rezone and replace the schools to grow the suburb.
