Farm labs level 21

How are the field tokens used that are made in level 21?

Those are the same sort as we get from the Dairy I believe.
You attach them to Stables or Orchards and when you harvest you get the field item as well as the normal produce.
Like Edge Crops, the longer the building takes to be ready, the higher the yield of field crop.

These are the same types of tokens that can be earned by Dairy contracts at the market
Any and all tokens can be assigned to stables and orchards on the main, gourmet and flower farms.
It does not matter what produce the token awards, for what they can be placed on 

When you click on a stable or orchard, in the upper left of the task circle you will see a cow token symbol, click on that to assign a token to that stable or orchard. They can be assigned to a specific type of feed or fertilzer, and the awarded produce will only be given when that feed or fert is used.

For one example, a level 3 corn token gives 1700 corn. If you so choose, you can place that token on a citrus orchard & say you place it in a blue liquid fertilizer spot. When you plant that orchard with the blue fert, when you harvest you will get your citrus fruit and in addition, you will also harvest 1700 corn. If you plant that same orchard with regular, speed or orange fert, you would NOT also get the corn, since it was only assigned to the blue fert. 

These tokens will not last forever, they can break after use.
When you go to place your tokens, you will see a breakage % under each area where a token can be placed. Each time the token is used, this is the % chance that it can break. So, the lower the %, the more times that token has a chance to be used until it breaks. 
Basically, the longer the harvest time of the stable or orchard, to lower the breakage %, so the token will get more uses. The shorter the harvest time, the less # of uses
(for example, a chicken coop at only 13 minutes harvest time, has a high breakage % and the token will often break after just one use)
When it breaks, it can be repaired for gold, or you can place a new token in it's space.
There is a subscription package (I believe it is the $20 one) that allows to repair tokens for farm dollars instead of gold, but I don't know how costly it is.

I hope this answers & helps you to be able to use those tokens.
Good luck !

Looks like a level of 150 is required to use the cow symbol. Not only for dairy but for the other tokens as well.

Thanks for the info.

Heather Norsk (US1)

I was curious if those tokens could be used before the dairy could be unlocked. Thank you willejay for confirming that for me

Correct except for the last comment .... The tokens are for a standard / set amount of crop, the yield of the field crop will not change the longer the building takes to get mature / to harvest. They will last longer & give you more uses out of them the longer it takes, but the amount of the crop given by the token remains the same.

There are 3 levels of tokens that can be earned through the dairy; a level 1 token gives the least amount, level 2 token a little higher, and level 3 token is currently the highest I have seen.  The tokens produced in the lab are all level 3 tokens.

In my example above, I listed a level 3 corn token gives 1,700 corn.
It will give 1,700 corn no matter if it is placed on a cherry orchard or a chicken coop, time makes no difference. Token amounts are not even affected by sparkles or charms of any sort, nor the booster badges, they are only ever for the amount of the token.
A level 2 corn token will only gives 840 corn, and a level 1 gives 420 corn.

Thank you @Heather Norsk (US1) You are absolutely right ! I have been labouring under a misapprehension and I have no idea where I got the idea from.  rofl

@Uncle John (AU1)
I'm glad I could clear it up for you 
Can't begin to say how many times that's happened to me in this game - LOL
(remembering me as an impressionable newbie & an experienced player insisted that using humus increased item drops so I believed it for awhile)

"What we know to be true, is indeed factual & true, until the contrary is proved"

(just as once upon a time it was considered factual that the world was flat and that the sun revolved around the earth)
