I've always avoided interrupting a villager who is carrying something, since I don't want to risk losing their cargo. Only Arthur and Walt know for sure at which point(s) the food is subtracted from the bush or farm, but the food bin supply is increased at the time the villager deposits the contents of their basket!

Thankee for the prompt reply... do you /ever/ get to sleep? The food goes in when they stand up from the food pile. I've watched that... I don't usually MEAN to grab a berry-totin' villager, but sometimes I do by accident, and I was afraid I was dropping my berries on the ground and then trampling them into goo.

I guess... if the berries aren't off the bush until they're in the food pile and they skill-up after picking berries we could, in theory, with enough patience, just keep dragging the same tired frustrated villager back to the bush over and over again without depleting it and eventually get a master farmer... that'd probly not be ideal.
