Mission wont stop ?

Why is it when a Mission start's, that I can not stop it if I can not get the items for it in the time frame it want's? , then I always end up with a message saying I was not Active, We should be able to stop or get out of a mission when we Can not get the Items in time.

    I seem to get mostly rutabagas and alfalfa, which becomes redundant so I usually just plant one batch to be active. What I really hate is when they give you a milk or pig mission, then immediately after you seem to get a dung mission. Occasionally I have had back-to-back pig missions, and am shown as inactive on the second mission.

    I know exactly what you mean.  Like when the mission calls for corn, and I've just planted my fields with wheat not meaning to start a mission.  Or, when I am collecting dung, and accidentally use regular feed instead of fast feed on my cows and pigs.  It would be nice to be able to "stop" the mission because there's no way to be active.  Maybe they could change the "shelve" feature so that anyone could use it, whether they've collected the required amount or not.
    Exactly I totally agree, thanks.

    That is what happens to Me, I do the first one with no problem, but then they do it again, and the timer for the Pigs Pen versus the mission, does not coincide , the mission is a lot lower, therefore can not possibly do the mission and can not get out of it so hence is told we were not active, which to Me is totally lame.

    I remember a number of years ago when big farm would allow you to pick which mission you wanted to do from a list of say 6 mission.  Of course you would pick the mission you think you would have to most success on and have the largest produces for.  I guess this was thrown out for the now automatic start a random mission that is impossible to get out of and for the most part if you are ask to do apples or fertilizer or even cabbage you will not be able to do it as the time to do any of those items are way more than 30 mins that is allowed for completing the missions.

    I was very peeved when I got a cabbage mission when cabbage is 45 min to grow.  How was I to do the mission and keep my flow of a mission on every try.  I guess I flunk that winning streak I was on and had to start from square one.

    where do I find info on shelving a mission, I don't understand how it works.
    Click on the mission box at the bottom of the screen...


    You will get a pop up window that shows you how much of that product you need to collect in order to shelve the mission. Once you have collected enough, the shelve mission button will turn green...


    If you shelve a mission, you can start another one. I usually collect what is required, if I can, then shelve it so I can have more missions finishing while my boosters are still active. ;)

    Best bet is not start a mission if you can not be active. That means collecting for the whole duration of the event.
