Hi jeemersmom,
I will try and explain it but in a nutshell it's to do with how and where you plow plots, if all the fields are lined up with each other or not, whether or not there are gaps between them, as to what size tool may work better than another. You have a combination of all of those things on that farm.
Tools like all plots to be exactly lined up with each other if you want it to get the perfect squared amount every time. For example if you used a single layer 5x5 combine, for it to work perfectly it would need to see 25 plots plowed in a 5x5 squared area and those plots need to be exactly in line with each other.
When that isn't the case and there isn't a perfect sized tool for the area you want to work on, that can cause various issues with what a tool can highlight to work on because not all the plots on the farm are exactly lined up. Bigger tools are more likely to show this up easier than smaller ones that work on smaller areas.
The size of the tool you use can make the difference on what would happen. Every tool will try to work as many plots as it can for that size. When it cant work on an amount in a squared shape due to the amount of plots left to work not fitting the exact size of the tool, that tool will still try to work on as many plots as it can, but due to them not all being aligned exactly the same, it can no longer see a perfect squared shape to work on so it can try to grab an odd amount of plots instead, and then also miss others that would normally be worked on.
What you will need to decide on if you want to keep the plots like that to that is to try the different size single layer tools you own and see if you can line up the tool so that it only grabs the lower part of that upper section first, if it will, then you work your way up the farm to harvest/plow/plant the rest of just the upper section.
If that's not suitable for what you like to do, then you could consider just removing the lower row of that upper section and see if that helps at all with the tool that you prefer to use. If it doesn't then it's likely the tool is too large and still seeing part of the bottom section.
You could also consider having a bigger gap between the upper section and the lower section. How big that gap would need to be depends on the size of the tool you want to use. The bigger the tool the bigger area it will try to work on. If it can still see some of the lower section when you use it, using a smaller size tool may be more successful.
