Make sure that anything you want to be sped up on a farm is planted BEFORE you irrigate, you can only irrigate a farm ONCE per day, so if you plant a 4 hour crop and then irrigate, they will be sped up to 2 hours. If you then decide to plant another crop during that day, it will NOT be sped up until you can water the following day.

There is a glitch at the moment which the developers are working on... some crops will show as wasted, even tho the mouseover says they are ready. They aren't wasted, and you should be able to still harvest those.
Why couldn't it just work the same as the manure spreader with the plots remaining watered for the day? It would get rid of all the confusion and make more sense. It would be nice to be able to water my farm, plant 4 hour crops, get them in 2 hours, then plant my longer crops and have them still watered. I don't understand why the existing code for the manure spreader wasn't utilized for the red sprinkler with a 1 day instead of 3 day time frame.
