I don't agree. I believe that if they could speed up harvest times, there would be less of a need for additional farms and limit the need to layer farms for players to keep the products in inventory to keep the facilities full.

A player can plow a field and delete a field twice for the same XP's in far shorter amount of time than planting and waiting for raspberries to grow, if they are only after XP's. They could sit in the MP and get hired over and over in 1 hour and earn farm more XP's. I sat in the MP for 45 minutes this evening, didn't beg for work, and had 8 hires, two of which were multiple farm/multiple actions, all solo. I have no idea what I earned, since I'm at level 260, but I'm sure that I earned farm more than 1024 XP's.

As I posted earlier, the release notes are contradictory, in my opinion. If this is how they intended, it provides far less benefit than the manure spreader which cost the same FC. I would only value this tool at half the FC price.
