yes, it seems farmer harvest result ignore fertilized soils and yea planting your own crops will always yields better results. so, just activate your farmers only during the time you need to travel looting and when you're going to be offline, the farmer will tend the crops even when you're offline. crappy yields still better than no yields.Farmer harvest counts?
My farmer only receives 4 sunflower seeds when she picks. They are planted in fertilized soil so I should be getting 8.
Is this a bug or do they only pick based on tilled soil amounts? That would seem like a waste and I'd be better off planting my own crops.
