Suggestion:

A unique "Money Crop" to plant and harvest,

1- Let a farmer choose to plant a VERY expensive crop that may take 4 days (or 7) to harvest.
2- There would be very little return from the harvest.
3- Perhaps the farmer would have to harvest and plow it themselves.
4- Perhaps the number of squares would be limited to x-number per week or month

Example.

I want more FT$$.
So I plant 500 squares of "Cash Cabbage" (pun intended)
It costs me $500 coins per square ($250,000)
It can be harvested for $10/sq (no one will be interested except the planter)
Inventory can be taken to market and "sold" for $5 or $10 FT$$

I can do this every 7 days or so.

thoughts??

by the way... I have two emails, 2 sets of 4 24x24 farms... back up over 30mill at each
and enjoying the winery(s), cellar(s), dairy plant(s), and juice factory(s). All the other stuff is too busy for me...... lol

Fifth farm or 36x36 would be nice (can you spell addicted?)

to be honest, the issue of farm cash is no longer a problem. Since they have added the farm cash offers for myspace, there is no reason you should have a shortage of cash and no need for a "cash" crop

I just ran a second test on somebody else, but this time the math did work - he had as many crops in storage as he had plots and I got about 10% of the total.

So, this is a sporadic problem - you never know when you are getting what you should on either end of things.

OK - here is my 3rd and final test (I'm not gonna do this anymore). This guy had 544 plots. After harvesting, he said he had 497 plots in storage, but a whole bunch of plots with the triangles still on them. He then sent me a note after hitting the Play button and reloading his farm and he had the 544 plots in storage that he should have. In other words, you can't sell products until you reload your farms and get rid of all those triangles cuz they won't all be there.

many of us have comment on this situation. When the hiring farmer refreshes their screen those fields will be harvested properly (as you described) and they will then show up correctly in storage. However, suddenly this morning I am not having that issue of the "terminally harvesting" fields so maybe they fixed that glitch

Need to add more things to produce such as... white grape juice, blueberry muffins, gingerbread cookies, pumpkin pie, and sugar cookies.

Need a coffee mill, to grind coffee. Then we can also have flavored coffee, like hazelnut, walnut, etc...

It is a game that you choose to play. You must play by the games rules. No one is forcing you to play.

I completely agree. You can get farm 3 with Farm Cash if you don't want to add neighbors. If you have already spent your farm cash you can buy more. If you are not willing to buy more it is still a very fun game with 2 farms. If you decide to quit over this....we will miss you.

So does a farmer have to have a myspace account to get farmcash?

What is the criteria, and does it work for non-myspace members?

The winery makes the wine then the wine celler bottles it. Champagne is all I make that's where the $$ is.

There are many options, as you say you can both leave, out of the, is it 27 million ? players, will your threat when activated be noticed? before you throw your toys out of the cot consider whether you want to play the game enough to
a.play with two farms
b. pay farm cash to buy the 12x12 3rd farm then spend playmoney to buy the whole of the 4th farm are you aware it costs 75 million?
c.meet new wonderful friends through hiring at the market place and talking to them when they work on your farm become buddies with them then move from there to friends on facebook and neighbours in farmtown.
How long I ask have you been playing that you have not met and enjoyed the company of new friends from around the globe who to invite onto FB is only one small step?My extra neighbours did not come in as strangers but buddies I have caught up with time and time again sometimes impelling me ( I know such a sacrifice on my part) to stay up way past my bedtime because we were chatting for so long after the work on our farms was finished.
