1: I set it to FAST whenever I am done seeding, during seeding I set it on OFF. I seed the complete map at once, to simulate a bit "spring time".
2: Yes you can seed ploughed land directly. And many cultivators don't require ploughing or cultivating, as the machine is a direct drill, meaning it can do a bit of cultivating itself. And with some machine combinations you can run plough-cultivator-seeder in one go.
3: Of course the main goal is ALWAYS to drive as straight as possible, with every task you are doing on the field. Only deviate from a straight line due to curved outlines of the field or objects in the field you have to go around.
Unless you are using a roundbaler with a small windrow. Then you NEED to swerve like a drunk so you are filling the left of the bale chamber and then the right of the bale chamber at a pretty even rate, instead of filling only the middle of the chamber getting you misformed balls (yes, balls, not bales, balls due to their additional roundness) :)

Playing FS on a tablet, mobile device gives you an option to hire a worker for tippers where you get to choose where they take the delivery, any chance of this being implemented into the main game? Even as a mod or standard feature?

Not sure off hand but go to whatever number save it is under the farming simulator folder and it's in that folder. I'll check later when I get home.

I am playing dusty cove with seasons Mod. I have just acquired some cows and it is summer time. I gave them water but can not seem to be able to feed them. Do they only accept certain foods at this time of year? So far I Have tried silage bails and mixed ration.
I have now managed to feed them mixed ration, I do not know why first effort failed as ration is shown in trough, and the floor on both side but not registered. Still can not feed bails or straw!

It's the careersavegame.xml file that you want to edit, in the savegamex folder (where X is the number of the save game).
Just open the file and search for money, that will be the value to alter.

I answered that by giving the only options to minimize the size so you don't have huge piles.
So the more direct answer to your question is, No, not possible.
