Kevin in DevaHi Kevin,The Reich Food Estate (Reichsnahrstand - RNS) was established by Richard Darre after he was appointed Minister of Agriculture in June of 1933. It was formed to regulate agriculture, set prices, production quotas, quality of farm products. Basically it was similar to a Department of Agriculture.I've seen some non-portable awards for this organization in the past... I believe one was on bee keeping.Hope this helps, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
