Crop

A group of prosperous crops.

An infested crop field.

A crop is a cultivated plant that is harvested for consumption, and is planted in a crop field.

Crops take the form of various foods that are cyclically planted from seeds. Crops found in Banished consist of :

• Cabbage
• Corn
• Potato
• Pumpkin
• Squash
• Wheat
• Fruit

Crops are subject to seasonal conditions and infestations.

Infestation

It is important to note that crop fields can become infested, which will destroy the entire crop and generate the icon to the right. If the same crop is planted in the same farm year after year, that farm will have a much greater chance of being infected. So, it is important to rotate the crops being planted in farms so that the same crop is not harvested back to back. Also, crops of the same type in fields close together can spread the infestation, so be sure to separate crops of the same type.

During an infestation, it's best to order your workers to harvest the crop as soon as possible to recover at least some of the food.
