Speeding up production of chum

I finally got the fishing area working well after almost 2 years on Big Farm. I would like to know if anyone has found a way to speed up production of chum. Even with my dock upgraded to level 7 of 8, chum is still very very slow to produce, and it really slows down  the fish market contracts (as 50-70% require some type of chum.) This really needs to be fixed to allow speeding up the production of chum.

    I know it has an adverse affect on contracts but I dismiss most contracts that require chum

    I generally just make lobster chum and sell it from inventory when I need a bit of cash

    only thing that decrease time is lvling dockyard or half timer there nothing else
    and i only make chum for fish xp but i never sell it raw saving for some unique cool contract
    but if you not made its into fishing hardwork ranking 57-999 better do not make any chum or anything that give fish xp

    Just keep in mind that Chum is worth up to 3x more Farm Dollars in contracts than you get for them in direct sales prices. :)

    For instance, Lobster Chum is worth $4,500 each if you sell it directly, but you get $23,625 for it in a contract. :)

    Always handy to keep Chum around for when a contract needs 'em. :)

    Southern is right, although I have to confess, I make chum only during the WWC. But it adds up. When a contract calls for it, I'm ready. As for lobster chum, I think you make more money selling the lobster outright than making chum and selling it, but I could be wrong about that.

    Not if you sell the Lobster Chum in contract. It takes 4 Lobster (Value: $10,000) to make 1 Lobster Chum (Value: $4,500 direct, $23,625 in contract), so if you sell direct you're losing $5,500, but if you sell the chum in contract you're making a profit of $13,625. Of course, you could sell the Lobster in contract for $7,350 each (so 4 lobster would be worth $29,000), but finding a Lobster contract is.. Well, I don't want to use the word impossible, but yeah, it's pretty much implausible.

    I just make Lobster Chum because I've already got 1,000 to 20,000+ of all the other chum, and 16 Lobster Chum makes for some great Fishing XP. (like 192,000 FXP per batch).

    I agree  my strategy is not financially sound for raising cash
    I have all my plots ... everything upgraded to at least level 7  ...  most much more. I have enough income to finance the upgrades I still need and add still to my dollar balance

    My strategy is designed  to increase my enjoyment of farming rather than making it a grinding chore
    Not for everyone, probably  not most, but it works for me.

    I was referring to selling the chum outright only, not their value in contracts. :)
