Other Information
When grown in a field, beans are among the first things ready to harvest. Due to this, the recommended field size for one worker can be increased by 25%. (For mild climate: Instead of the normally recommended field size of 120 tiles for one farmer, bean fields can be up to 150 tiles and still be tended to by just one farmer - provided that housing and storage are nearby.)
