Do crops stay fertilized forever?

[shower_room1944]

I fertilized my crops in autumn just now, and I will plant in spring, will it last or did I waste my fertilizer?

As far as I could see over my seasons the workers fertilize the crops each season in Spring depending on what you wanted to plant, such as wheat, rye or flax, then plough it with the hoe and then add the seeds. So I do believe fertilizer is being used each time they replant it.

no, when the season turns your fields will need fertilization again. you just wasted the fertilizer unfortunately. i learned it the hard way too

I meant will it stay fertilized until the planting season,cause I fertilized it a bit early, I know when they plant it gets used. So I meant will it last till planting season.

It will stay fertilised.

I am pretty sure I have done both fertilised unploughed and fertilised ploughed since the latest update, and it remains in that state over as many seasons as you like till the field is sown.

No, it won't. I never tried fertilizer and unplowed but plowed i know for sure it turns back to an unfertilized field when the season turns

This got changed in one of the last patches, fields now stay fertilised over season change

Why however do the villagers who work in the fields only fertilize them in the correct season? They could simply do it right after harvesting the yield, correct? I guess they are programmed to only use fertilizer in the correct Season though. For us however, if we wish to do our own field work, we can do it in fall and wait till the right Season to put the seeds in. Good to know!

just throw fertiliser on the ground and your fieldworker will plough it for you

Being said that, is there any plans for farmers to fertilize the fields after harvest and not idling inside the barn waiting for the season? so that they ready the fields and by the planting season all they have to do is plant seeds?

This would be a nice, wouldn't it? It would mean I didn't have to be so on the ball at swapping villagers back to farming.

Personally, I'd prefer a batter system of assigning workers to farm work, perhaps giving option buttons for crop workers for when they have finished their essential work for that season, choosing whether they should then prepare for the following season or whether they should do work in the barn. It probably makes sense to keep a role of dedicated barn worker ("farmer" seems such a misleading term), otherwise we might risk running out of animal feed, fertiliser or some other thing they produce.
