Tips For Growing In Your Fields!

edited 17.01.2014 in Tutorials and FAQs
Dear World,
I have been on the farm now for sometime and i thought that i would give you a little advice. Now i am Home schooled so i am on very often but these tips will be for everyone, Even the people who are hardly on at all.

1. WHEAT. Wheat takes along time to grow, 6 hours. You should grow wheat at night While your asleep or when you no you aren't going to be on for awhile.

2.CABBAGE. Cabbage takes a fair amount of time 45 minutes. I grow cabbage when i am getting off the Farm, because i know i will be on about the time that it is done.

3.CORN. Corn It takes 5 minutes to grow. I grow corn while i am on the farm.
Also corn is a good one to grow and sell. it might seem like Cabbage is the better deal but you can grow corn 9 time, in the time it takes to grow 1 cabbage.

4.WILD FLOWERS. Wild Flowers are wonderful, they grow in 2 minutes. They are good to grow when you have no money because they are free to grow. They only sell for $1 tho.

Well i hope this advice will help you. Please post to this Thread and tell me how you like it. I check it regularly.

Yours Truly,
Super Space Girl

    Some good tips, SuperSpaceGirl. Also, if you save your wheat it will fetch a very nice price. :)

    Thanks for posting. You are the first person to post here and that makes me so happy.

    And about the WHEAT that is true. Wheat can go for a lot of money.

    I already know that. I made a typing error, that's all. I apologize for the typing error though.

    Cabbage is even less money per minute than wheat is. Don't grow cabbage for selling.

    apples sell for 44 per unit but the bets is if you are lvl 16 plant cherry orchards. cherries sell for 180 per unit
  • edited 23.05.2013
    Hi Vippppp4!

    Yes it is true that cherries are worth more but i did the math and it is not a better deal:

    Cherries take 12:00 hours to grow and for a level 1 cherry orchard makes 220 cherries which = $39,600

    Apple take 3:00 hours to grow and for a level 1 apple orchard makes 325 apples which = $14,300

    At first it might not seem like a better deal but you can grow 4 batches of Apples in the times it takes to grow 1 batch of Cherries.

    Your total amount of Apple after harvesting 4 times for a level 1 Apple orchard in the time of 12:00 hours comes up to = 1300 Apples which = $57,200 after selling which = $17,600 more then selling Cherries.

    Yours Truly,

    superspacegirl - What about the running cost reductions?
  • edited 24.05.2013
    I am not too sure what you mean with that. I do know all about the running cost and happiness but, i did not add in the running cost, i just put together the amount once you sell the cherries and apples.

    But i am going to do all the math very soon and be starting a new thread with all different happiness and stuff and starting a new thread in the not to distant future though.

    And i will be making a couple of changes to this thread tomorrow.

    Yours Truly,

    I Support the tips in which you gave about the farm management in relation to the planting different crops at different times but if you have enough coins you could fast forward the time if you really need the crop to make feed, or to complete a task.

    What's the difference between cow feed, premium cow feed, and super cow feed? Also, do you have to use gold for anything other than cow feed?
  • ss02092ss02092 Posts: 772
    edited 28.05.2013
    Yeah to buy premium and super cow feed you need to pay gold.

    Sometimes you can get them as reward for some of the tasks.

    With Premium cow feed, you get XP while feeding and the running cost is zero.
    With Super Cow feed you get XP more than that of premium + zero running cost + increase in the number of milk.

    You can check the no of milk you get for each level of the shed from the prodcut info.

    To see the product info.

    * Select the cow shed
    * Click on the blue i info button.
    * On the popup select the second tab (which has a house, tree and blue i symbol)
    * There you can see right and left arrow below the shed image. USe that to navigate between the level of the shed.

    Left shows the level of the shed while right gives you the output informations.

    * Down that one there will be another arrow, using that you can check the output for each type of feed.


    I have attached an image of the popup for your reference.

    Having or not having a cherry orchard is indeed very discussable. If you make it as soon as the quest comes up, it is véry hard to keep it fertilized. But as Elizabeth said in another topic, as soon as you get the gourmet farm, it is nice to have some cherries, to make the juice overnight.

    Apple orchards are definitely the most profitable thing to have at first, because they take less fertilizer (so you need less poop) but when you get the gourmet farm, you're gonna want a cherry orchard.
    I think I was around lvl 25 or so when the cherry orchard came out, and I have had little problems to keep it running up till recently.

    Apple orchards make you more money in 12 hours then cherries, but a day has 24 hours and a part of that you will be asleep (I assume :P) The cherry orchard, if planted at the right time, will run all night, where the apples will be sitting still, ready for harvest after 3 hours, while you enjoy your beauty sleep.

    its useful to have the cherry orchard for overnight etc (once you are high enough level to be making enough fertiliser) but 1 lot of cherries needs 3x the fertiliser that apples need but the cherries sell for less than 3x apples... so really until you have allot of fertiliser and a food farm to make cherry juice, a cherry orchard shouldn't be a high proirity unless you play infrequently.
