@Atrik has talent! I'm not sure if they allow him to add things to the base game. People have very strong recations and beliefs to some aspects of ModernGUI and I feel treat Atrik in an unfair manor because of that. I for one am a big supporter of adding some of his GUI aspects to the main game. I think its more visually pleasing, and easier for people with not great eyesight.
Well, the issue with that method is that right now it's very hard to see how many Farmers work on which Field.
Maybe this could made more clear by adding 5 gather points on a Field where each Farmer has to do.

Basically there are 5 invisible "trees" placed at those "X", and each "tree" has a maximum of one Farmer.
But I will say I enjoy the GUI customization screen. Hadn't seen that before. I wish you would focus on adding things like that to the base game. You are indeed talented at this.
Glad you ask!
I'll try to make a short answer even if I could talk so much about this point.
ModernGUI is almost a mod that allow you to build the GUI. You have the basic UI reworked, that looks like that :
The panels are reworked nicely with generally slightly bigger buttons, and importantly, access to cool stats and data is easy and tones more of them are accessible in stylized tooltips.
You can then open the "GUI builder" using the gear icon near the minimap, and start customizing the UI, including adding the top panel for stats.

The "advantage mechanics" are disable by default, and can be enabled in the "EcoPanel" menu of this GUI builder. So if you don't want them, you just don't enable anything in there.
There are a couple of features like the ability the use "order one" hotkey for certain actions where it isn't implemented in vanilla, as well as the farm buttons discussed above that don't have an option yet, but I doubt you were thinking about that.
As a side note, autociv mod also has a panel to display allied stats although it is not very visually appealing.
Right now you can accomplished the same by using the "Order one unit" command (alt by default I think) . You can grab a bunch of units and, by holding the modifier key assigned for this command, send one by one to each farm. like alt+left click 3 times on every farm.
I think a feature similar like this #8525 would also be useful for gathering. It would help with chopping wood as well, since targeting certain trees can be a pain and workers often end up crowding on one side of the woodline.
