I don't seem to be as lucky as you all. I have four large farm plots and I have a steady stream of food, but not enough for an excess. Would it be better for the farmers just to focus on one plot, because none of them every get filled up with rows of plants.

And as for the booze, I recently lost a fortress because everyone died of thirst suddenly. Once my booze ran out I realized suddenly that all the water on the map was salinated. crap.

Start out smaller.  Make four 2x2 plots, and have 2 planters.  That should be enough for ~50 dwarves.  If you find yourself running out of food (e.g. because your growers aren't experienced enough yet) then make another 2x2 plot or two.

Keep seeds stockpiled by the plots so the growers don't waste their time hauling them all over the fortress.
