Here are some tips for doing your derby tasks. If you have picked a harvest task, take the total number of crops you need to do and do some quick math. Find an even number you can divide into that and segregate your plots (individual fields) ahead of time. The advantages to this approach are: Here's an example with the 320 cotton task shown in the image. Cotton takes 2 hours 30 minutes to harvest, so... Remember: If you divide your total number of crops and don't end up with an even number, round UP and add an extra plot so you don't come up short for your task. Example: 320 ÷ 7 = 45.7. If you round down to 45 you will be 5 short - problem. If you round up to 46 you will have an extra 2 - no problem.
 * you can harvest and replant quickly without having to count out each time;
 * you will know in advance how long the task will take you to do in total so you can see if it will work for your schedule or not.
 * you can always save room to keep planting other crops you need on the side.
