Instead of manually right clicking and selecting "Prioritize harvesting cotton plant" during a cold snap, it would be nice if you could right click a growing zone and select "Prioritize harvesting zone" and your pawn would harvest the zone until there are no more plants designated to harvest.

I know you can prioritize plant cutting and growing, but this doesn't stop the pawns from going to eat, sleep, etc. like prioritizing any other task does. (Like prioritizing a workbench temporarily to get that item you need crafted asap).
I've searched for a mod like this, but could not find anything. If one exists please let me know! I was honestly surprised I couldn't find one.

The Mod [LTO] Colony Groups has this functionality.  You would need to manually select the plants to be cut first, then assign a group of pawns to "Forced labor:Plant Cut".

Here is a quote from a section of the mod:

"Your group Work Menu is your lifeline to transforming your Colony into a well oiled machine. Here you can send out Work Orders to your group, and prioritize specific jobs (right-click), as well as enacting Forced Labor to a certain job (2x right-click) which will order your group to work that task until their hands bleed. You will also be able to tell your group to Take a Break from working, send them to the Chow Hall, and even tell them to go to Sleep".

The video about the mod explains it in a bit more detail, but basically, the group of pawns that you assign to Plant Cut with the Forced Labor option will do that task until they either starve to death, drop from exhaustion, mentally break, or there are no more plants assigned to be cut.  Use with caution.
