Flood of farming errors
« on: November 27, 2007, 12:21:00 am »

I'm in my first year on a new fortress, and have a pretty hefty farming operation going.  I'm getting tons of "Cancels plant seed:  needs such-and-such seeds."  Now this isn't unusual to get one error, but I'm getting them en masse, and it's a bit annoying.  I've been through summer and most of autumn with these messages, and no amount of brewing or processing rids of it for long.  Once the seeds are gone, the error message flood returns.

Any ideas?

Set your fields to fallow or they will continuously generate hidden "plant x seed" orders.
