Make sure you have a dwarf with one of any kind of farming labor enabled.  (View dwarf, Prf, Labor.)  Preferably one with a farming skill developed; I didn't think that was necessary (maybe it is after all), but at the least skill influences what jobs your dwarfs are likely to choose.  If necessary disable all your best farmers other labors to keep him from doing random stuff.

Farmer's Workshop is for herbalism, milking and cheese-making, as I remember it.

Field farming is entirely unrelated.

Plant processing (thresher), not plant gathering (herbalist). The others are correct.

Back in the 2D version, a single labor "Farming (Workshop)" covered all 3.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
