And to add to what <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/6-estherhb/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="6" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/6-estherhb/">@estherhb</a> said, there are other factors that will affect the yield from fields/pastures such as how far away the worker lives from their workplace and if you have any mods installed that allow labourers to collect harvested resources and deliver them to a barn (rather than have the farm worker do it). Some mods make certain sizes works better than other sizes but personal preference, how much land you want to use and so on are also big factors.
For example I tend to make my crop fields 8x15 (1 worker) and my dense orchards 5x15 (1 worker). This comes down to visual appeal as much as crop yield because I can place dense orchards next to the crops and break up the acres of fields with some trees. The actual crop yield is suitable for what I need but the ability to place orchards and fields together without any odd sized shapes is a big positive for what I want. I also play with Disasters on and having crop/orchard/crop appears*
to have helped to slow the spread of crop blight from one crop to the next or one orchard to the next.

I have the impression that crop blight will spread from one crop to another or one orchard to another but not from say crop to orchard. So yeah, I think it's helping slow crop blight but I haven't tried testing it because I have no idea how to induce crop blight so that I can measure its rate of spread [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/unsure.png[/img]/emoticons/unsure@2x.png 2x" title=":/" width="20" />
