He means that the farmer goes to the fields that "belong" to the other farmer. Since he can't work on his fields (they just need time to grow) he goes over to help with the production of his neighbor's fields. That is Definitely a good thing. I don't feed my people to be lazy :)
But in all of the screenshots I posted, the farmers had work to do on their own fields.

Yes but why shouldn't they do that? They have no fields for themselves, so it's the best thing to do. Or do you think they should just stay in their houses?
What do you mean with "they have no fields for themselves"?
So you suggest that if there's no fields below a farm, then the farmer should stay inside? Why?

Some people actually use this farmer behavior to build farms like that: farms, 6 rows of fields below them, then another farms below the fields (then repeat...) - so farmers can work on fields that "belong" to someone else. Da Revo, would you mind pasting that Paradise Island screenshot (if I remember correctly that it was an example of this)? :)
You misunderstand. I built my fields above the farms they belong to.

Uhm, okay, that doesn't make any sense. Why would you make your fields above your farms? And if you expect them to work above your farms, then what's wrong in these pictures?
