How well equipped/big is your army?

You want to make that an inversely proportional ratio.

It would require a regen to add, but I've been thinking about a general farming overhaul that would reduce your crop rate to about 1/10th or less, with steeper rates for rare or valuable plants.  If I made this mod, it would set a lot of migrants to work in the farming industry and make food scarcity a real concern.

Food is way to plentiful.

I have 270 dwarfs and 95% of my fields lie fallow. No room to store more food. I have 3,826 food stored (vast majority is prepared food).

Let them siege me, I can withstand 1,913 season siege right now.

Food is way to plentiful.

Drink is an entirely diffierent issue. Only 83 drinks.

I have so much food there is no space in storage for drinks. If they get thirsty enough theres always water. Not my problem. They want drink? Eat some of the blasted food already so the drinks have someplace to be stored.

The most I've heard of anyone handling at once was 400 dwarves, so no, 175 isn't all that bad. Find a population you're comfortable with and stick with it, though. :)

Give a bunch of the food away to the next caravan to clear up some space in your stockpile.  Prepared food sells pretty well, with that much you could probably buy out the whole caravan and still have enough left over for 1800 seasons of siege.
