Request for Chop/Harvest percentage grown setting

When you use the Orders:Chop Wood or Orders:Harvest Plant tap on a large area, you get everything that has grown at least 65% (I believe) or more that get flagged for cutting.  But then, the less grown, the less yielded. 

It would be nice to have, either at the time of hitting the Orders:Chop/Harvest tab, to get a mall menu that will allow you to set for 100, 95, 90, 85, 80, 75, 70 or the standard 65%.  That or a setting in the Options that sets the %

When a peon has the grow plants, it will sow new plants until one plant somewhere (usually on the other side of the colony) is ready to harvest, and will rush over to harvest it (and not finish the sowing of the one area that you really need to get sowed now.  Setting the Priorities to Plant cut first, then Grow, while having them cut everything that is soon to be harvested, allows for a much more efficient use of the peon's actions.

So, if I can flag for only 90% and up, let them plant cutters get all clippy and then the sowing for new stuff can go uninterrupted for enough of a time to allow them to get on to other things before the day has completed.

So, Please, either put into the next version or someone come up with a mod for this.

Thanks.
