My dwarves won't harvest plants, I've been playing 47.05 for years and never encountered this before. This is a new fort.

Farms :

Stockpiles are set to accept plants and leaves. I made a second food stockpile to see if that one would work.

Proof that farms are accessible :
1
2

1 : this is below the farms, connected by ramps. you can see that they've been working at these workshops.
2 : my idlers. you can see the ramp entrance at the north end.

(I have personally observed dwarfs walking up and down these ramps past the farms.)

No military. No burrows. No meeting halls. No locations. No tantruming, depressed, socializing, injured, or otherwise indisposed dwarfs. All dwarfs have farming and food hauling enabled. Orders are set to all dwarfs harvest, and dwarfs gather food. All dwarfs are idle.

I've saved and reloaded, that didn't do anything.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see a wall backing the ramp that leads to the farm? I see a wall backing the ramp on the north side of the workshop ramps, but if that leads to the farm above then the only valid path above is to the north which is another set of ramps going up but no path to the farm to the south.

Started a new fortress in a haunted Tundra, grabbed some free serfs from the occasional visiting job-seekers. Avoided taking performance troupes, since it's a PITA to check each one of them. But one elf came and applied for residency as part of a performance troupe…except that he was alone. Very much alone; he was the only visitor at the time. So I guess, why not? (apart from being an elf)

Several months later, I got a message: "Kammat Somesuchname, Human Dancer and others have returned."
I definitely didn't send anyone out, whether on a mission or whatever, so I was very much surprised. Turns out they're all part of the elf's troupe. Never knew troupes could apply for residency without the whole group being on location.

Never seen that either, interesting.

Meanwhile the caravan guards visiting my fortress went mad after a thief tried to sneak past them. After killing the thief they ran into the fortress, and killed both my sherrif and my off-duty military commander. I managed to kill the guards with a bit of luck before things could get further out of hand. 
The outpost liaison never made it to my fortress because a pack of eight agitated giant bluejays murdered her the second she walked onto the map.

This is my fortress second year. The first year's caravan was destroyed because part of the river flash-froze, causing the caravan to make some ill-adviced pathing choices through the riverbed.
Diplomacy with the motherland is going to be interesting over the next few years.
