About

Agriculture allows one to use the Till Field action under the Build.
A Tilled Field is required to plant any seeds.

Agriculture also unlocks the ability to plant Cereal Seeds and Rip Up fields. 'Rip Up' removes the immature plants from a field and yields no return of seeds and no effect on the Influence bars; good for fixing mistakes of accidentally planting the wrong seed in a field.

Planting

To Plant crops, you must first prepare your Tilled Field with Humus. Select the Humus you wish to add and right-click it onto your Tilled Field. For a fresh Tilled Field this will require 5x Humus. After your first planting, the Upkeep can be reduced and subsequent planting will require less Humus. Once your Tilled Field is Prepared, select the Seeds you wish to plant and right-click them onto the Tilled Field as well. Reduced a Tilled Field's Upkeep will also reduce the number of Seeds needed for Planting.Once the seeds are planted, you can Fertilize your Fields. After a period of time, your crops will grow and you can then Harvest them.

Influence

A field has four influence bars that affect the type of products produced. When the field is harvested, one bar increases by 5 points times the influence percentage. (The increase is less if you have not yet learned the Three-field System skill.) The other three bars are reduced by 5 points.

For example, the field

has had its influence bars raised by growing cabbage, grains, and cotton. Higher tier products can be obtained on this field: either tier 2 Cabbage or Cereal or tier 3 Cotton, Tobacco, Pumpkin, or Corn. The relevant influence bars for each type of crop are as follows.

Crop	Tiered products from		Gives to
Cabbage	3	4	1
Ear of Cereal	4	1	2
Cotton	1	2	3
Pumpkin	2	3	4
Corn	1	3	2
Potato	3	4	1
Tobacco	1	2	3

One way of taking advantage of the tiered system is to designate a primary crop for each field and rotate crops that raise the bars it needs to get better products for that crop. For example, for better types of cotton, you can first grow cabbage and cereal to raise the first and second bars.

• Note: avoid using +speed fertilizers late in the cycle. There is almost no return for getting a few extra percentage to the speed when there might only be a few hours left for the field to grow.

Finally, when the crops are grown, they can be harvested; the harvest entry is added to the right-click menu for the field. Be careful, since some crops can be harvested at several stages:

• pumpkins can be harvested at any time once they start growing (in other words, they've grown at least one stage after planting) and return different products;
• Corn has two harvesting stages: baby corn first, then full ears of corn.
• Cereal Fields yield one Ear of Cereal per 50 points of Plenty, rounded up. The Ears of Cereal yield one seed per point of Plenty when threshed, or 0.01kg of Flour when milled.
• Cotton Fields yield one Raw Cotton per 20 points of Plenty, rounded up. Each Raw Cotton can be cleaned to produce Cotton. Each Raw Cotton will yield one seed per two points of Plenty.
• Potato yield one potato per 20% of Plenty.

Crop Tiers

Fields will produce higher tier crops as the influence bars get high enough. The following is a table of the various tiers of crops.

Seed	Tier 1	Tier 2	Tier 3
Seeds of Cotton	Yellow-Stained Cotton	Indian Cotton Egyptian Cotton	Sea Island Cotton
Seeds of Cereal	Ear of Oats	Ear of Rye Ear of Barley	Ear of Wheat
Seeds of Cabbage	Colewort	Head of Green Cabbage Head of White Cabbage	Head of Red Cabbage
Seeds of Pumpkin	varies	varies	varies
Seeds of Any Corn	Yellow Corn	White Corn Blue Corn	Golden Corn
Seeds of Potato	Brown Potato	Yellow Potato Blue Potato	Red Potato
Seeds of Tobacco	Broad-Leaf Tobacco	Bright-Leaf Tobacco Shade-Leaf Tobacco	Gold-Leaf Tobacco

The type of product produced by a field is determined by the sum of the two relevant bars:

• if the sum is between 0 and 50 the field produces all tier 1 products.
• if the sum is between 50 and 100 the field produces both tier 1 and tier 2 products.
• if the sum is between 100 and 150 the field produces tier 2 products.
• if the sum is between 150 and 200, the field produces both tier 2 and tier 3 products.

If the sum is below 150, then the tier 2 product is in the same order on the two tables. For example, a field with the first bar at 100 and the second at 0 could produce Indian Cotton, while a field with the first bar at 0 and the second at 100 could produce Egyptian Cotton. If the sum is above 150, then the lower of the two influence bars determines the type of tier 2 product. For example, a field with the first bar at 95 and the second bar at 80 could produce a mixture of Sea Island Cotton and Egyptian Cotton.

Growth Time

The base growth time are as follows:

Plant Type	Base
Cabbage	3 Days
Corn	3 Days
Cotton	4 Days
Ear of Cereals	3 Days
Potato	4 ½ Days
Pumpkin	8 Days
Tobacco	? Days
