Better to define milling a date from first principles:
A player CAN Mill a date by spending four Crops corresponding to
the tens and units digits of the month number and day of month
of that date.

Bad use of holidays. Agoran holidays are not celebratory events;
they are periods when it is impractical to continue game activity.
Requiring anything to be done during a holiday is directly contrary to
their purpose. Pick some other event. However, for any recurring event
it is rather likely that the date within the year will be the same each
year, so you're not likely to get the variability that you seem to want.

I fear that this will encourage the enactment of frivolous rules just
to create the opportunity to do this.

"Rounded to nearest" is incompletely specified. I suggest instead:
... the expression is evaluated. If the result is a well-defined
real number, e gains one crop corresponding to the units digit of
the number's decimal representation.
