I have a couple of staggered fields too, and I find this works perfectly with the harvester and seeder (I'm using 3x3), but the plowing doesn't catch all the staggered fields. Still, 2 out of 3 is better than nothing!

I reckon Farm 7 will be the last one I'll upgrade to. Lucky 7 seems about right for me, and in truth I can't see myself finding enough hours in any given day to manage more. I have all but one of the facilities offered thus far, and for a mere mortal like myself time and energy won't stretch much further. The FC tools offered by the devs have been an enormous bonus though, in time saving terms - the fertilizer, fishing boat, tree shaker etc have enabled me to stay on top of daily Farm Town duties

I'll leave the level jumping and humungous bank balances to the more 'committed'. From now on it'll be about managing and enjoying what I've got in terms of acreage (though I won't be able to resist buying more facilities), playing around with some design stuff, and looking forward to whatever new and interesting facilities and holiday releases come round courtesy of the developers continued hard work.

Somewhat thinking the same way. Though if there is some day to be a #8, I might use it to play with design concepts, just try things out for the fun of it for a while.

I used farms 5 and 6 to simpify things. I moved all my trees to farm 5 to make them easier to harvest (couldn't use the shaker from storage at that time), moved all my facilities to farm 6 to keep from moving around loading them up and my intention for farm 7 is to move all my animals there. That way I can do all my milking, etc., with one click. There will be hundreds of animals outside the buildings (slowing things up) but I won't be doing anything else there. Farm 8??, don't even want to think about it, maybe just fishing.

Same with my irregular plots. Found, though, that the 3.3 plow sometimes plows adjacent land (not a field), but no problem. If I son't want a plot there, I simply delete it.
