Rice planter woes

You need to produce at least 100 food per person per year plus extra for new houses and new kids. The amount of food produced by a single Rice Planter is usually over 1000 IF the worker is educated and you have storage and housing nearby. To share that rice with other citizens, you need houses to be placed inside of the working circles of Markets. I usually have 1 Vendor per market, but if barns aren't close by, I'll add a couple more. There's no reason to spam a single food producer like this. There are lots of other good food producers in MegaMod, including the Hunting Blind, the Plaza (producing apples) from kid1293's B&B Themed Set, RK's Old Smokery and Old Saltery. If you use a Very Mild climate, an 8x18 crop field with 1 farmer will produce around 1000 food.

To avoid starvation, it is good to have a Trading Posts (especially a Food Supplier) so you can increase your surplus food to 2-3X. Be sure to develop some good trade products such as Trade Livestock, Domesticated Animals, Survival Coats, Statues, Ale/Wine/Perfume, etc. You can turn some of that rice into Rice Wine BTW.

I can't see much in your picture. When you take pictures, turn off climate effects in options or wait until the rain or snow stops. Can't tell if you have educated workers - but they produce anywhere from 25% to 50% more than uneducated workers.
