Main article: Farming

Crop Fields are plots of land allocated for the production of various crops. Crop Fields are staffed by a variable number of farmers dependent on the size of the field.

See the Crop article for information about different crop types, and the dynamics of crop field farming.

Efficiency

A crop field of 15x15 will give the best Efficiency. Each farmer will manage 56.25 square which gives a bit more ratio than the other possibilities. A 4x4 field is the worst crop field you can have because 1 farmer will manage 16 blocks. The table below shows the best and worst possible grids per farmer composition.

Squares	Grid	Farmers	Square per farmer
16	4x4/2x8	1	16
56	4x14/7x8	1	56
60	4x15/5x12/6x10	2	30
112	8x14	2	56
117	9x13	3	39
168	12x14	3	56
169	13x13	4	42.25
225	15x15	4	56.25

You can manually lower the number of farmers per plot. In optimal conditions (next to a barn and house) a farmer can serve 80-90 squares and produce 600 food.

Building cost

Crop Fields cost nothing to produce, but are limited in size to between 4 to 15 units of length in either dimension.

You must have a crop's seed type in order to plant, grow, and harvest that crop.
