Hmm strange.

There are still a number of crops that can not be used in any of the facilities. For people that plant those crops it is still more profitable to hire help. Besides if we all stop hiring others to help we will lose a very important part of the game, networking and learning from other farmers. As those seeking work it is now more beneficial for us to go work for others because we get a small portion of the crops as well as coins.

Just my thoughts
While I was earning game coins and exp. points to be able to get and complete farm 2, I often worked for others at the Market Place and never found any real networking. I would go to the MP, post a message via the chat that I was glad to harvest, plow, both and/or harvest trees; then get hired, complete the job as efficiently as possible and thank the farmer who might or might not comment "thank you" or "you're welcome." That was the extent the extent of networking. This isn't a complaint since that's how I thought the process was supposed to work. When I hired someone, I thanked them for accepting the job, then moved my avatar our of their way and thanked them when they finished.
