A '''farm plot''' is a building that allows {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to grow {{L|crop|plant}}s from {{L|seed}}s. Plants can be used for {{L|food}} or to {{L|brew}} {{L|alcohol}}. Farm plots built {{L|above ground}} have completely different crops from {{L|subterranean}} farm plots. Note that the attributes {{DFtext|Inside |#808000}}{{DFtext|Dark |#808080}}{{DFtext|Outside|#0ff}} and {{DFtext|Light|#ff0}} are of no relevance.

== Outside Farm Plots ==

 +
In large fortresses, farming is the most compact way of producing food. Some early forts can subsist with {{L|herbalist}}s collecting plants from {{L|bush}}es outside  but that is insufficient to support large populations. (Note that plants gathered by herbalist can be processed for the seeds necessary to set up an outside farm.) Seeds brought with the expedition are not allowed to be {{L|farm}}ed outside and currently<sup>0.31.03</sup> must be {{L|farm}}ed on muddied tiles via [[irrigation]]. This bug does not exist in v0.28.181.40d and prior versions. {{L|Crop}}s that you discover in {{L|shrub}}s may be farmed above ground without the need of [[irrigation]].
 +
 
 +
See the article on {{L|crop}}s for details on the conditions needed to grow the available plants.
 +
 
 +
== Inside Farm Plots ==
 +
Unlike outside farms, Inside plots need {{L|Mud}} in order to produce crops.  Underground caves will most often have multiple {{L|Mud|Piles of mud}} to build inside plots on, but any other location requires you to {{L|Irrigation|irrigate}} the desired location first.
