====== Field ======

Field is unlocked after researching [[:agriculture]].

====== Farm ======

In the farm you can recruit free workers to spend their lives on fields and pastures. Level 1 farms can have up to 4 workers, and level 2 (current max) can have up to 6 workers. Every farmer will be able to work on a 50-size field, orchard and a single pasture during the year. Having more farmers will be able to do this faster.

===== Field =====

In Fields you can grow:

*   Wheat - used for making flour and, therefore, bread. 
  *   Hay - used for feeding animals during winter.
  *   Hop - used for making beer.
  *   Herbs - used for making medicinal herbs, vegetable soups or meat soup.
  *   Barley - used for making beer.
  *   Mushroom - basic food resource, also used for making vegetable soup.
  *   Cotton - used for crafting clothes.

Different crops and different sizes have different grow rates, also influenced by weather. All crops need farmers working on them, and follow this order:

* planting (orchards only): happens in the spring for new orchards.
  * plowing: fields are plowed in order of placement until the end of spring.
  * sowing: plowed fields are sown in order of placement.
  * growing: the longest stage, happens until autumn comes.
  * harvest: begins in mid-summer for fast going crops and autumn for all others, as long as you have warehouse space for the resources. Crops that haven't been harvested will be lost in the first day of winter.
  * fallow: useless stage of the land, happens during the whole winter.

Note: it is possible for 1 farm of 4 workers to plow and sow 8 50-acre fields (in 2 blocks of 4 fields), but for better efficiency for growing, you should aim for 1 farm worker per 50-acre field.

===== Orchard =====

In Orchards you can grow:

* Grape - used for making wine.
  * Apple - basic food resource.
  * Berry - basic food resource, also used for making vegetable soup.

Orchards take more time to grow than field crops, and only need farmers for harvesting. Some resources like grapes and apples can be ready for early harvesting in summer and will then continue to grow until autumn.

All land in the Field area can be arranged, split, combined and demolished. If you apply any of these options in the non-fallow stage, all crops will be lost until the next spring.

===== Pasture =====

In pastures you can keep animals, such as chickens, cows, sheep, horses and pigs. Animals can be obtained in the hunter's lodge, by changing their option to tame animals, or bought in the market. They also need to be fed with hay all year round. Animals can also be butchered to produce meat.

* chicken: high breed rate. Can produce eggs. Butchered for 4 meat.
  * pig: medium breed rate. Butchered for 15 meat.
  * sheep: medium breed rate. Can produce wool. Butchered for 8 meat.
  * cow: slow breed rate. Can produce milk. Butchered for 30 meat.
  * horse: slow breed rate. Used for training light cavalry.

Animals will breed slowly once 2 animals exist in the same pasture. Higher numbers of animals in the same pasture will increase the breeding and produce rates. Each animal generates chores for the farm workers to do. If these chores are not performed they will rise until the pasture suspends all activity, this may happen in spring or autumn when farmers are busy in the fields. Farmers will always work on fields and pastures depending on their placement order.
