Why can I not spend my 400K and always need gold ? I thought I could spend my cash once I got to level 15.

    If you are talking about buying a piece of land, the gold option to buy is there before you can buy with farmdollars.

    So when can I spend my farm dollars ?
    I do not seem to be accumulating gold and I won't spend actual dollars to obtain more.....

    To my best knowledge, the level to open a new part of land with farmdollars is three levels later then the option to buy it with gold.

    I think the option to buy your Gourmet Farm and Flower Farm is 5 levels higher to buy with Farm Dollars then with Gold. Good Games Studios freemium business model depends on enough people buying gold to fund them but you don't have to. It takes a little more time and patience but you can get to the highest levels without ever buying gold.

    Usually we're trying to find a good balance between time played and gold spent. So in almost every situation you could either spend gold for something or play a bit longer and get it for Dollars, tasks or other achievements. And even in cases where you have to spend gold (like, for example, decorations), you can save up the free gold you'll get throughout the game.

    Hey awesomeshortulu,

    you will notice that you can gain more and more farm dollars as you progress through the game and optimize your strategy.
    Until you get to this point, though, you should always make sure to keep your workers happy as their happiness decreses production costs.

    If your happiness meter is in the green, your production costs are relatively low. If it's in the red area, you pay a lot more for productions than you would have to.

    Since your workers put some actual work into feeding your chickens, they also charge you with a small fee for the process. Now it's up to you to increase happiness and minimalize said fee. ;)

    Cheers,
    Steffi

    None of this answers, how can I spend my farm dollars for feed and such.
    I currently have only 15 gold and I play on this thing a couple hours a day.
    So what do I have to do to be able to spend my farm dollars ??
    Thanks

    Hollister1, you don't "buy" the feed, you have to make it in the Mill. You only use Gold if you want to speed up the process. You use Farm Dollars for things like expanding your farm, upgrading buildings, building new things, etc. But not for buying feed/fertilizer/humus. You have to make those manually.

    Hope this helps :)

    I think Benny sells premium & super feed for gold, from his truck (& Omar too in his bazaar) but regular feed you make yourself from the crops that you grow in your fields, using your mill. It would be very expensive to just use premium or super all the time, so I can see your problem if thats what you are doing.

    Use the fields to grow the things you need for your animal feed. Plant Wheat for cow feed, corn for corn feed, and cabbage for pig feed. After you harvest the plants, click the mill to process your plants into feed.

    Complete tasks, as they tend to give you a bunch of dollars in accumulation. I am level 42, and I have never bought gold with any real money.
