Another option is the hay bale trick. The poor little farmer gets really tired running around as you know. To help prevent this, taking a few bales of hay and carefully arranging them around your farmer to make a box will trap them into place. This prevents them from running around the farm as you are harvesting, plowing and planting seeds. By trapping the farmer into a central location, you are able to avoid the time waiting for them to move to each end of the farm before performing the next task. To get the best results possible, you need to look at putting them as close to the middle of the farm as you possibly can, which will help to improve the performance of this trick.
