Hi famer charlie

Developers do not tell in advance.

Just take in mind that they are working on Farm Pass 2 and the week has not finished yet.

Thanks for answering Taz! I look forward to playing both Farm Passes!

From Raul on the new Farm Pass 2:
Post Release Updates - February 13th, 2:40AM

The Farm Pass 2 contest will be released on February 15th and will behave very similar to the regular Farm Pass, see below the main differences:

1. It will start the 15th of every month and will last until the 15th of the next month

2. It will not have any "Get Hired", Trains or Ships goals

3. It will have the following 9 new goals:

- Hire farmers at the Job Marketplace to work on N items
(Progress is recorded when the Job Completion Bonus is claimed)
(each plow field, crop, tree fruit, tree log, flower and fish count as 1)

- Buy online N regular products at the Trade Marketplace
(trade directly with an avatar, not using the Trading Warehouse)

- Buy online N super-facility products at the Trade Marketplace
(trade directly with an avatar, not using the Trading Warehouse)

- Sell online N regular products at the Trade Marketplace
(make a profit on each trade, the markup % should be greater than 0)
(trade directly with an avatar, not using the Trading Warehouse)

- Sell online N super-facility products at the Trade Marketplace
(make a profit on each trade, the markup % should be greater than 0)
(trade directly with an avatar, not using the Trading Warehouse)

- Buy from other farmers N times in Your trading warehouse

- Buy from other farmers N times when visiting Their trading warehouses

- Sell to other farmers N times in Your trading warehouse

- Sell to other farmers N times when visiting Their trading warehouses

4. It will not have any decoration rewards, nor any reward offering extra flower, wood log, tree fruit or crop when hiring or getting hired

5. It will have the following 7 new rewards:

- Revive wasted crops in a farm 10 times each week
(you can also use this privilege to revive crops in other farmers farms)

- When using irrigators plants will grow 3 times faster instead of 2 times

- Duplicate online trading buying limit *AND* reduce buying period length by half, from 12 to 6 hours
(soon you will be able to check your own buying limit in the Time Manager tool when mouse over the "Buy Products from Others" option)

- Reduce request ingredient period length, from 12 to 8 hours

- Finish an ongoing facility quest step 2 times each week

- Add an extra help note in your co-op quests 2 times each week

- Use most of the tools in your toolbox that you don't own for the next 6 hours
(the exceptions are the manure spreader, mobile sprinklers and any tool in the first 2 columns from the left)

You can participate in both Farm Pass at the same time. If you claim the same reward on both Farm Passes its benefit will be combined, for example, if you claim the "Increase ships output by 10%" reward in Farm Pass 1 and then claim that same reward in Farm Pass 2, this will increase your ships output by 20%.
