Default Double-Hire for Plowing

When you're hired to plow, your "tool" is a red/green grid the size and shape of a single field. It will turn green when you are aligned with a field and you can click. You don't have to be perfectly aligned for it to work, but many of us find it slow and annoying.

If you are hired a second time, the grid disappears and you are left with a pointer/arrow/whatever your cursor is. You simply point at an area of the field, click, and it's plowed. Much faster and easier to do.

The effect on the person doing the hiring? Usually, a more thorough job done in record time. Therefore, you're ready to replant sooner and earn those XPs sooner! It's a win/win.

One word of caution: If you have two or more people you are going to hire to plow, either double hire both or don't double hire at all. Double-hiring only one gives them an unfair advantage.
