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.
- 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.
