Is this just me, or does it seem like you have to move your character around 10 different times before he'll accept the plot to plant in. Is there a better way to farm?
Not sure what you mean, but it helps to hold shift and right click. This automatically grabs any same-type item into your hand, so you can easily shift+right click repeatedly to plant a whole row. Same goes for putting fodder in a coop or trough. If you've having trouble moving your character to a spot, it sounds like you have trouble using a mouse.
