Description
About 75% of farms when built in-game or when placed manually in Atlas have a rendering issue with the alpha channeled "wheat" texture. This is apparently random.
Screenshot attached.

See here the two halves of the "field" object, when overlapping, cause a visual glitch.

Attached a new image that illustrates the problem. This problem also occurs sometimes in Tree branches, where alpha channeled tree branch textures overlap alpha channeled tree branch textures. The furrows or foundation of the wheat field has an alpha channeled texture applied to it and the wheat stalks themselves are an alpha channeled texture.

This never happened to me (NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT), and currently the wheet fields I get consist of just a texture in the ground — no shadows. Maybe it was workarounded that way? Can any of you who confirmed the issue still reproduce it in 0 A.D. 0.0.11? Was any of you able to come up with steps to reproduce this (random) issue?

Also can't reproduce this with Mythos' example, please reopen if the problem is confirmed to still exist.
Confirmed on NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GT with OpenGL Drivers : 2.0.3; nvogl32.dll (6.14.10.9147). It's apparently even worse here, far fewer than 25% of the hele fields I placed in Atlas have the lush entirely-covered look. At first I thought this may have been due to random variations (the actor choosing between barley and wheat), but this is definitely a bug. Interestingly, the 'barren' fields appear in more detail when you zoom closer. Unfortunately I have no idea what could be causing this.
