I have been trying to get my fortress established, but I am having problems.

Essentially, my farm plots are being ravaged by flies, which kill half of the crops. Welp?

The Wiki is your friend:

"Flies are a type of above ground vermin. They are found in swarms near pools, farms with unpicked food and food stockpiles, and may cause food to rot. Since cats cannot kill flies, the best way to protect against them is to make sure food is not left outside of a container too long. Make sure you have enough barrels and bags to store your food and someone ready to pick food from farms once ready. If there's no food around outside of a container, flies will go away."

~Error I get.

Also, I'm having trouble with getting barrels to my stockpiles, do they just put them there if you up the max barrel count?

Hmmm, some people have trouble accessing the wiki, I don't know the reason why, it works for me. You may have luck with these addresses:

http://dfweb1.dwarffortresswiki.org/
http://dfweb2.dwarffortresswiki.org/
http://dfweb3.dwarffortresswiki.org/

on barrels: as long as there are empty barrels that are not reserved for other stuff, they'll get a new one when needed, untill they have the maximum allowed for the stockpile

I get an error like this why I try to access the wiki from my iPhone. Keep meaning to post it, thanks for the reminder

Also with regard to barrels - if when you first designated the stockpile, you had a type of item that can be put in barrels selected (ie if you placed it as a food stockpile rather than changing the settings) it'll already be at max barrels. Just make some barrels or pots and they'll get used when someone gets round to taking the job.
