Raspberries are like any other crop. The mansion on my farm was purchased with raspberries. and raspberries only. Gave myself a goal of 1,000,000 in coins for raspberries before I sold them and bought mansion. i did and I did it.

If I get hired for raspberries I just harvest them like any other crop.

Got a lot of XP points also doing that.

I was just in the mp and saw someone complaining about people hiring her to work with others after she said she works alone. So you know what I did, I hired her and one other person to plow my farm. I do this all the time when I see people say solo work. I will not hire people who only work alone to work alone, sometimes I do only hire one person but it is not the people that ask to work alone. To me that is rude and greedy and I can't stand people like that.

I don't mind if I'm hired with someone else especially if it is a large farm. What I don't like is when I'm doing most of the harvesting and they'll do just a little bit then wait to be hired to plow. Most of the time I get hired to plow and they just sit there lol. Lupi has a good idea start harvesting with them give them less. I saw an avatar in the MP one night, underneath for the name it said "I only work alone"

I NEVER hire anyone who says they only work alone. That's being unsocial! I do wish people would be a little specific though. Some stand there and just say "work" or "ready" or something like that. You hire them to do crops and flowers and get a no thanks. You cannot tell who's there to hire and who's there to work and sometimes I attempt to hire 4-5 times before I find a "worker".

When I go to the MP to work, I do specify that "I am looking for a plowing job, please". I am always hired very quickly and usually the person has several farms to plow. I honestly do not want to harvest, I have far more money than I can ever spend. So, my purpose is to up my exp. I have noticed that those who say they will harvest are also picked very quickly.

One thing to remember when hiring someone, if they seem to be pretty slow, check their level. You can do that by clicking on their avatar, and on the pop-up menu, select Send Message. That will show you the level. You can then just back out. I hired one recently that was painfully slow. A level check showed she was level 23. It takes a bit of time to build up speed so take that into consideration. I did eventually ask her if she would like some help... . got a "yes please" reply so I hired another person. I also hired both to plow.

Sometimes when they appear to just be standing there doing nothing, most likely, their system locked up or they got kicked out. I had that problem yesterday with a few people. You can try to rehire them again while they're at your farm - if you don't get a response, you can assume they're not really there.
