A '''farm plot''' is a building that allows {{L|dwarf|dwarves}} to grow {{L|plant}}s from {{L|seed}}s. Plants can be used for {{L|food}} or to {{L|brew}} {{L|alcohol}}. Farm plots can only be built inside.

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|shrub}}s outside, but doing so is insufficient to support large populations.

See the article on {{L|crop}}s for details on the conditions needed to grow the available plants.

== Building the farm plot ==
Farm plots must be built on a suitable location and require a dwarf with the {{L|farming (fields)}} labor enabled to prepare.
*To build a farm, you must first make the area {{L|mud|muddy}} by {{L|irrigation}}.

To place a farm plot, enter the {{K|b}}uild menu and select farm {{K|p}}lots. Use the {{K|u}}/{{K|m}} and {{K|h}}/{{K|k}} keys to adjust the width and height of the plot. When the plot is the desired size, and in the right position, pressing {{K|Enter}} will place it. A free dwarf with the {{L|farming (fields)}} {{L|labor}} enabled should then start clearing out any rubble or other impediments away from the farm plot. {{L|Tower-cap}}s inside the plotted area must be cleared by a {{L|wood cutter}} before you lay it out or that tile will be skipped.

==Growing plants==
See {{L|Farming#Planting|farming}}.

== Suggested size ==
A 5x5 plot should be enough to feed a starting fortress; 5x10 should be enough to feed a full fortress. Make sure to have at least one dedicated grower, as planting skill significantly impacts output. Much smaller plots can serve smaller forts, and if you supplement them with {{L|herbalist|plant gathering}}, {{L|hunting}}, {{L|fishing}}, or {{L|trade|trading}} they can become smaller to the point of non-existence.

Try to leave a little extra space in {{L|underground}} farm rooms for farmers to stack spare boulders. Stones that get moved under {{L|door}}s in a farm will keep them open, causing flooding problems if you need to {{L|irrigation|irrigate}}.
