Grade B rocks are used as feed for other rocks |

I just thought; pinkie was just a little filly what if she wasn't farming rocks, but Potatoes!
Potatoes looks like rocks to a young child (or filly in thic case) and they have to undergo crop rotation (ie changing fields each year) Combine those elelments with a hyperactive imagination from the pony with imaginary friends and you've got potato's becoming rocks. |

@Anon #166534: And that's how Basalt Spongiform Encephalopathy spread through the rock population, resulting in a greatly increased incident rate of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease among the Rock Biters of Equestria. |

Ya know I was thinking, perhaps a rock farm is just how ponies identify a cave, where marbles and stones are digged(or perhaps cultivated given they are earth ponies and perhpas have earth bending abilties) and then sold for building and such |

the story though was about how equestria was made |

no guys. i think the rock farm is really Amish working a uranium mine for celesta. i mean if you can find gems less then a foot under ground... |

^ Watch "A Dog And Pony Show" again. Gems are incredibly common, easily found, and yet still somehow valuable. |

The very idea of Amish mining uranium for a gravity-defying pony sun goddess just made my day. |

Yeah, saying it out loud make it...well
... Oh TypeNameHere look tha tin "A Dog and Pony Show" the key point was that dogs needed rarity due her unique ability to spot gems, that no other pony has. With such power finidng gems is easy. Without is not. And most reatiler of varuious type of marbles of stones for archtectural or building purpose, do look a lot like the Rock Farm. |

^The reason why things like gems are valuable is because they are rare or hard to mine. The gems Rarity finds are everywhere and anypony that is willing to spend a few hours digging would find plenty of them so they are only valuable because ponies (and diamond dogs) are lazy |

well think about it this way. Weather doesn't happen on it's own, and plants and animals don't propigate itself. Maybe rocks are also pony run. |

How do you think those gems GET there?! That's what rock farmers are for!
And anyway, in a world where dragons literally EAT gemstones, the supply-demand economy for them is going to be all wacky compared to our world. |

^ Not only eat but hoard. Celestia has to have made trade contracts with the dragons to create artificial scarcity (just like the diamond industry does). As a result gems become valuable in Pony society. |
