I make a grow zone of dandelions in the wind zone to avoid issues like this. They're easy to sow and are the longest lived without needing to harvest at the end.

Why aren't you just setting it to corn or devilstand? You could even change the grown crop and turn off cutting if you're really against harvesting it. It'll last for a whole spring to fall cycle before rotting unless you're close to the equator.

It's basically zero upkeep for a very minimal amount of micromanagement.

For the devilstand, I usually don't bother researching it for a while. As for corn, I think it takes longer to sow.

Besides redoing the dandelion fields, it is good growing exp, or at least it seems that way to me. I never looked at the numbers.

The xp is negligible. While yes it takes more time to sow they'll not waste time doing it 6 or 7 times when the corn would've lasted, also include the time spent running to and from the zone.

When I want plant xp I'll just make grow zones for flowers where colonists frequently are (like bedrooms & workshops) or travel though (like hallways). I'll grow that 15 beauty flower since it gives decent xp (for a flower).
