    I already think some kind of required (paid) community service year should be required for every citizen, so I guess part of that could be agriculture.

      Required I think doesn’t cut mustard, like I said, it should be required only when all other possibilities to address a labor shortage crisis have been exhausted.

      Required service is something you do when you’re in a weakened or threatened position with what you’re invoking it for, so doing it unnecessarily just doesn’t help quite as much as one might think.

      There’s better ways to address a perceived national attitude problem than forced labor.
