I find this makes harvesting a very drawn out process. If I put the plant stockpile near the same squares as the seed stockpils then create a seperate stockpile near the relevant workshop, then my farmers don't trudge from the farm plot all the way to the kitchen. Then hopefully a dwarf with just food handling turned on will take seeds from dining rooms to farms, plants from farms to workshops, and drinks/prepared food to profession-based dining rooms. Not foolproof - sometimes farmers do haul their harvest all the way to the end stockpile - but even that can be fixed with forbidden doors. | I find this makes harvesting a very drawn out process.
