Botany wheelbarrow

You don't see what you're getting outside of botanists using hand labelers. So what if, as an alternative flavor option for RP, botany had a wheelbarrow or something similar that you could pull, push or ride. You'd be able to store crops inside visibly, making your work more noticeable on your way to give the kitchen the 500 synthbutts they asked for.

I don't think this would negate the usage of satchels either, they're still good for keeping tons of useful crops on hand especially as an antag.

What I really love about both these ideas if the concept of compression. I would give the wheel barrel some kind of item count restriction. Like, it can't hold more than 20-50 items, including people.

That can mean 50 loose crops, or 50 satchels filled with crops, or 50 bales of crops.

When you want to sell in volume you compress your crops into the denser containers and versions. They all still have a purpose, and you can probably do all sorts of fun things along the way. 
You might still build a barrel up with loose crops and then jump inside to hide. 
Maybe crop bales are thick objects when placed, and act like fences where you have to hop over them, or stack them to build walls. If they take enough damage they just convert back to loose crops. Or pick them up by using a pitchfork on them to replace them
Use the wheel barrel to move them to a site and then build up obstacles or fortifications with the bales. Or even just make a Halloween Hay Maze
