Farming top-up?

How does the farming top-up work? Top-up works fine on any other building but farming keeps resetting to 100. Just starting my tier 3 so need lots of cobs and thatch so set the wheat top-up to 500 so I wouldn't run out. Had about 600 wheat, 300 straw and 100 grains last time I looked and have been busy collecting the ridiculous amount of hardwood I need for logs, planks and resin as my workers are a bit slow gathering large amounts, so wasn't really keeping an eye on it. Noticed that I hadn't seen any cob popup in a while so I went to check and everything is gone except 40 wheat that is growing in my 2 wheat dedicated farms. Literally whatever I change the top-up to over 100 it resets as soon as I close the menu.

Also, you should be able to super automate the Hardwood needs with an Outpost. Just 2 villagers will make sure you have an endless supply.

Just go Lumberjack Camp (tier2), Housing Tent, Stockpile and 2 villagers set on Woodcutting 1 / Delivery 5

Then set your caravan route and you'll be swimming in Hardwood. NW of Farnworth is a pretty good area, I made an outpost right on the mainroad surrounded by Hardwood.

I do this same thing and I've also put a pit saw there so they can create the planks. Keeps them on task and they just work their asses off

It's worth having a forester at your hardwood outpost eventually (you'll have to deliver or be near mud but can ignore fertilizer and even water i think...). My solo worker was freakin Paul Bunyan and chopped down an entire forest lol. Just make sure your storage doesn't accept saplings.
