Field in Farmstead World — building in the game, and what it is on a real farm.
A field is worked ground: land cleared, ploughed, sown and harvested on a cycle, fenced or hedged off from the pasture and the yard.
Good fields are rarely planted to the same crop twice in a row. Rotating what grows there keeps pests down and puts nutrients back, so a rotation is planned years ahead.
Farm facts about field
A farm field is worked ground, usually marked off by hedges, ditches or fences, and its boundaries often date back centuries. (en.wikipedia.org)
Fields are rested and rotated rather than cropped the same way each year, because repeating one crop drains nutrients and builds up pests. (en.wikipedia.org)
