Farm Town Hero – Cheats, Hacks, Tips and More…

Can you plow and plant a crop in Farm Town over Flowers?  Check a farm out to see that you can if you hide flowers.

It’s the same farm, with flowers turned on in the left image, and flowers off in the right.

To all our Farm Town friends, we want to wish you Happy Holidays. 

No matter what you celebrate, we hope your days are great.

Anyone else seeing a big lag when you plow or harvest on others farms?  I was harvesting last night for someone and it showed I still had many crops to harvest, and they sent me a request to plow.  I asked if it showed I was done, they said yes.  I went ahead and took the job, and the whole farm had been harvested.  Not sure if you loose any money by doing that or not??  I took a plow job this morning, thought it was all done, left the farm and did not get any more coins.  It left me wondering if the rest of his farm got plowed…

I have noticed a few times lately when I am harvesting there are multiple people harvesting on a single farm.  It’s become a free for all, grabbing what you can while you can.  It got me to thinking, what order should I go for crops in??  We know we get a certian amount for all crops, so let’s take a look at the most profitable crops to harvest on a farm:

1. Blueberry (118 coins for you)
2. Pineapple (118 coins for you)
3. Rosemary (108 coins for you)
4. Pumpkins (99 coins for you)
5. Peppers (95 coins for you)

If someone is plating the quick crops, like grapes, Basil, sugarcane, or raspberrys, go for the Beets, sugarcane or basil first!

Good luck!

I am still missing two values on crops, but right now it looks like the five best options to plant are:

1.  Raspberrys

2.  Beets

3.  Grapes

4.  Basil

5.  Rosemary

Keep in mind, I do not have the hired harvest values for Broccoli, so it may be in this list.  Also, this is based on the hired harvest hourly net, which means you have to have the time to plow, plant, and have your crops harvested right when they are ready…

Don’t have all that time??  Plant rosemary and pineapples!

Now you can buy a second farm in Farm Town.  There’s a catch though, you must be at level 44 and it cost 3,000,000 coins, or you can buy it will Farm Cash for 120, which equals to about $20 in real money.  Anyone going to buy??

When I logged on today, I was greeted with this box letting me know about the second farm option.   You can transfer items between the farms, along with coins, neighbors, etc shared between the two farms.

I am still working on the spreadsheet, so if you have the info on broccoli, I would appreciate it.  I need the Harvest to storage, and hired harvest info.

To those of you celebrating, Happy Thaksgiving to all!  I am thankful today for my family, my health, and all of you.  May your crops never spoil, may you plow with great ease, and you animals never escape their pens.

Whether you play Farm Town or FarmVille, I do truly appreciate you visiting us here.  Farmer Missy and I wish you all the best!  If you get bored today, visit the forums and say HI! (I am getting a little lonely over there).   Don’t worry, it’s not hard to register, just use your Facebook account!

PS:  I am almost done with the Farm Town spreadsheet update, I will post it once I am!

I am working on updating the Farm Town spreadsheet that Farmer Jay built, but hasn’t updated since August 3, with all the new features and levels that Slashkey put out on November 20th.  I am missing some values that I need.

I am looking for what levels these items are available at:

Asparargus

Squash

Beets

Sugarcane

Basil

Eggplant

Blackberry

Broccoli

Sage

Rosemary

I also need to know the cost of these:

Broccoli, Sage, and Rosemary.

Looking for price of Harvest to Storage and Hired Harvest for all new items.

Take a look at the shot below.  If the field is blank, I need that info, if anyone can help, please comment (remember you can use your Facebook info so you do not have to register).

So I haven’t really written much about Farm Town lately, simply because I have almost completely stopped playing the game.  I reached the level to where it is very hard to move up (level 30).    I have a couple of neighbors above me at levels 31 and 32, but at this point, I believe I only have one active neighbor.

There have been some improvements on speeding the game up a bit with the big harvestor and seeder, but it still takes a bit of time to get everything plowed and planted.  I have not played FarmVille enough to know how it works, but just looking at my friend feed over at Facebook, I rarely get posts from Farm Town, but get numerous updates from FarmVille.

Looking at the numbers, FarmVille sets at 64,606,716 monthly users, while Farm Town is currently setting at 18,334,155.  Over three times more users for FarmVille than Farm Town.  It’s fun for a while, but gets stale quick.  I would love to see more crops in Farm Town, or an option to quick plow your entire farm.  How about a options to have the game auto hire someone to harvest when your crops are ready.  I lost an entire farm the other day because I was on Farm Town in over a week.
