I got the following warning error with the latest release. I’m sure I have only 1 farmer instance open. Tried many times, got same warning message.

Replotting and farming seems normal though.

Hey @dragonP, we are aware of this issue and discussed it on the [last Farmer Office Hours](https://youtu.be/Nf6l5yTJtG0?feature=shared&t=2156). There is a fix that will be in the next release but there is a workaround which is to add the `--no-info` flag to your farmer start command.

Thank you Jim. It looks like it’s just a false warning log, actually the instance still can access the plot file. So I’ll just let it run.
