How does one hire a worker?

[Infriga]

Hi all,

Can someone explain to me how to hire a worker? The email in the campaign says it requires a set of equipment at a field, but when I take a tractor with a plow to one I own there doesn't seem to be an option to hire a worker. There's no keybinding for it in the controls.

Thanks for the help!

Grandpa's Farm does not let you hire workers until later in the progression, it seems. I hired my first worker at Lvl 11 whill earning money to buy the solar array. (campaign mission) Went to my other field and I can't hire a worker. Campaign seems to have it's own rules, and we have to guess what they are.

Ahh, I was wondering if it was something like this. Thanks for the reply!

NP, there are also vehicles that your level alows purchase, but the game won't allow because of the campaign.

Why the turtorial informs you that you can hire workers while you're level 0? Tutorial is really useless in this game.

You have to play by yourself to finish the campaign. Tutorial give some informations and directives but you have to make some effort by yourself to level up, buy what you need. For work that works when the tutorial say that you can since the patch. When you are in a field with your machines, look at the key at the left of the screen (and not at the bottom) the J key makes you be able to hire a worker.

Just came out of the game. Now multiple workers are working in the campaign. Just a few hours ago I couldn't hire the second helper. My position in the campaign is after the potato field is planted and waiting to get enough money for the solar array. Must have been a glitch that set it self right when the game was reloaded. One thing to note....only one worker on a field at a time.

The email clearly states "Now you can hire workers" Pretty useless in that case.
In Free Farming, hiring workers fuctions just fine.

Hello guys,

In order to prevent exploits, hiring workers is not available in the campaign mode at all times. You won't be able to hire workers on the fields which are subject to quests that require performing actions such as cultivating, sowing, etc. yourself.

Hopefully, this answers your question!

Okay but in a case like this ???

So I just bought my cows, i prepared fodder. My next task is to put manure into a Trailer; then sell it.

I took my tractor and plow to Field #1 couldnt I hire my worker now?

In the game you can hire the worker if the Quest that you are does not require anything from de filed camp or tractors, When in the quest from cows you can hire workers to do plow of your field if you has more than one tractor so you can use one to collect the manure as requested for the quest.

But in "Story Mode" the workers don't do all kinds of jobs.
