So I'm playing my first game...I've got a large amount of crops that, for some reason, my farmers will not harvest. They're starting to wither, so I'm really worried.



It's still the plants' season, and they're ready for harvest. A couple of the plants were harvested a little while ago (one by a child, one by a hauler) but dozens more haven't been.

I've checked the following:
-I've got Anyone Can Harvest set in the Standing Orders
-I've got plenty of people available who could do it (including some sitting around with No Job)
-My dwarves have their hauling labors enabled, except for the following: Stone, Wood and Burial
-I have several farmers with the Farming (Fields) labor enabled
-My Food Stockpile has plenty of space and half-filled barrels
-My Furtniture Stockpile has plenty of new, unused barrels

For some reason, my farmers are planting seeds instead of picking the plants ready for harvest. And they're planting the seeds ON the spaces that already have plants!

Some other information:
-One of my farmers hosted a party recently, only a handful attended
-I'm running Dwarf Therapist, and DFHack with nothing but Tweak patrol-Duty enabled.
-It's my second year, mid-summer.

Anyone got any ideas?

My first guess: You have somehow disabled the stockpile, either to only accepting from links, which is easily done by mistake, or plants are not allowed.
Check the stockpile settings.

You, sir, are brilliant. Thank you for that. I had accidentally set BOTH my food stockpiles to only accept from links by nudging 'a' instead of 's'.

Accepting only from links: the new o-f

I'm guessing the plants on the farm plots were flashing. What this means is that they have been harvested but simply haven't been hauled to a stockpile - it also explains why the farmers were able to plant more crops in the same squares.
