  allow farmers to harvest more than one plant (proximity to last harvested plant, mature plant or farm whichever is closer) until carrying capacity is reached
  
  to somewhat compensate,
  reduce carrying capacity by 5ish units for "tools" or whatever
  planting requires seeds, half unit or less carrying capacity per plot of planting

  Allow farmers to harvest and leave the crates, enable haulers to be able to collect these crates. Maybe add it with a balance feature of only happens when the Weather Station(https://timberborn.featureupvote.com/suggestions/215361/weather-station-high-cost-research) says a drought is approaching and during the drought. Set priority of farmed crops to the crops not within an irrigation tower.

  First game ever. One of my two farms works flawlessly, another seemed to have problems. Very often a lot of crops were not harvested on time. Looking closely, turns out the farmers were immediately bringing the single crop they just harvested to the warehouse.
  
  I tried playing with the priorities, including the hauling, and whatever I did I also set on the other farm. It worked as expected for the good farm and changed nothing in the weird behavior of the bad farm.
  
  After destroying and rebuilding the bad farm, it now works flawlessly. I have no idea what might have caused it, but I'll email you the save and logs.
  
  Thanks for working on the game! Finally decided to give it a try and I'm having a blast :D

  Current behavior:
  Harvest a crop → return to the farmhouse to store it → harvest the next crop
  
  Desired logic:
  Harvest a crop → check if there is enough capacity to carry another crop
  
  If yes → harvest the next crop → check capacity again
  If no → return to the farmhouse to store the crops
  
  This would greatly improve efficiency. They often still have available carrying capacity, yet keep returning to store items repeatedly, wasting a lot of transport time.
