"Closer now, you can hear the conversation of the men you saw when you came in. There is a short silence after each man voices his thoughts. They speak of varmints who are impossible to kill. The varmints are stealing their food faster than ever before and they seem to be massing for a major attack. The simple weapons of the farmers are not enough to stop them. They have no idea what to do. One of them jumps as he notices you and they all turn to face you. A stocky man they call Miguel approaches." - Paragraph 56
The Agricultural Center is a farming community under siege by mutated animals, led by Harry, the Bunny Master. It is not far from the Mine, and is little more than a shooting gallery to improve one's combat skills. The fruit trading stand near the entrance has been closed due to the siege. You can actually sell fruit here for $23 versus $15 at Quartz Emporium and other such places.
If you take the side quest to eliminate Harry, you may exit by taking the cave to the south, or by using either the ST attribute to break down the doors or the picklock skill to open them.

Cellar[]
"The Old Man is pleased to see that you have killed Harry. His destruction will demoralize the remaining varmints. A holiday will be declared in your honor. Farmers cheer nearby. Murdering the cute little animals has rescued their major food supply."
An old man invites you to enter his "root cellar", an underground chamber filled with edible mushrooms too dirty to eat. Through a door so rotten it falls straight off its hinges is what once would have been a hacker's paradise - a room filled with computers. Examining a diary on the desk reveals the Agricultural Center's true purpose before it was abandoned after the bombs fell. Some random loot can be found amongst the boxes in the back room.
Cave[]
A rodent-infested cavern can be found in the southwestern corner. A few bags of loot can be found, especially if a Match is brought upon entry. Following the tunnels through to the other end leads straight out in.to the desert heat, which is preferable over the cave's terrible smell

Background[]
The Agricultural Center was a secret satellite relay facility before the war, with its giant satellite dish still working after the war. After the nuclear war, soldiers and researchers there joined up with farmers at a nearby agricultural facility. The radiation had mutated some of the plants and the farmers started growing them because they were hardier. Around 2087, the community was attacked by mutant rabbits led by Harry.[1]
