Toady,

In the most recent patch, my dwarves are having problems harvesting. About 90% of the food in the fields is being left to wilt. I can see dwarves going to the fields with "Harvest Plant" job, then when they get there they don't pick it up and immediately take another job.

I switched a few dwarves to Foot Hauling only. These guys all went to No Job, occasionally got a harvest plant job but never managed to actually harvest.

This was with an existing fortress created under version (e), and the problem started when I upgraded to (f). Thanks!

Try enabling leg hauling, they may be having trouble chopping the feet off. :>

Stupid jokes aside, I had a similar problem in c. I tried planting those things you make rope reed out of, and when it'd stopped growing, noone harvested it.

Not that they didn't try - they kept walking onto it, stopping for a moment and turning into question marks, and then running off to do something else.

Do you have enough free space on your food stockpile? I lost a whole seasons worth of plump because i hadnt enlarged my stockpile >_<

Also, check the orders menu (Under "O" in game) and make sure that "all dwarves harvest" is turned on.  Otherwise, only farmers (or sometimes, no one) will harvest the crops.

If you see crops blinking on the farms, they've been harvested but not hauled to a food stockpile.  You either need a bigger food pile or you've got "Dwarves Ignore Food" on.

Thanks guys -- food stockpile wasn't large enough.
