Answer:

Old Major points out the fields and the availability of resources to feed everyone, the chance to live a life of comfort away from the humans, the climate, the land which are all sufficient and possible for them to be independent of their human masters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Old Major is one of the characters of George Orwell's allegorical novella "Animal Farm" where he appears from the first chapter to tell the other animals of his dream. He also encourages them to fight for autonomy and get free from the control of the humans.

By using the reference to the lives of animals in England as that of suffering and torture after one gets a year old, he said

"The soil of England is fertile, its climate is good, it is capable of affording food in abundance to an enormously greater number of animals than now inhabit it. This single farm of ours would support a dozen horses, twenty cows, hundreds of sheep−and all of them living in a comfort and a dignity that are now almost beyond our imagining".

This reference to the availability of enough land and resources for their comfortable survival, the fertility of the land and the freedom to live life away from human domination will serve as an encouragement and push towards their fight for their own "government".
