Next job I realized what was happening. I must tell you that I adopted very quickly, and thought of many reasons that this was done...

I might be off base but one thing that came to mind was the cheating programs, the cheaters who plowed a whole field with random clicks, and those who hogged what they could of a job, with no regard for others.

True it's a game and it's dog eat dog... but I was not having fun while I watched a whole field get devoured by a plow program in 20 seconds.

I WELCOME THE CHANGE !

Slow? I don't think so... it was way slow when I had to walk each and every block of harvest and or plow... THAT was slow. It has nothing to do with fast or slow computers... and no more SAVE hoping to keep your points and Xps... you earn as you work. I like that.

I always harvested and plowed in rows... neat . Cause it took the same amount of clicks to do neat as to be all over the place.

I WELCOME THE CHANGE !

I work on the block next to me or one over... bing- bang- zoom... Job done faster than before.

Is there any change for the better approved by all? No, and it will never be.

Get used to it... threatening to leave does nothing.

I am so glad that these idiots with their cheating programs racing to level 60 just because, are over and done with.

Bravo to the developers whose job is amazing !! I can't please my boss... let alone millions of people!
Again, I would say the right way to fix all the problems you mentioned is to limit the number of employees per farm, instead of slowing the work down. It eliminates the problem of hogging other people's harvest/plow, and who cares who use cheat programmes if there is no competition in a field? Employers will even be glad that fields are being plowed so quickly.

On a further note, how is it possible to distinguish cheaters from fast plowers? The speed of the fastest plower I've ever seen is quite reasonable i.e. reachable by manual clicking if the computer is good enough.
