I do all of my own harvesting/plowing & planting...my neighbors are not interested in this work as they have enough of their own, and I don't go to the marketplace to hire for various bad experiences in the past. Basically, I do everything myself on my farms. So, is there any advantage for me to use the farm selector manager? I see farmers who post about how excited they are about this...& I'm puzzled about the whiole thing....Any words of advice?? It stinks to get old!

I have NO clue as to what the advantage is, since I, like you, do all my own farming. So sorry, no words of wisdom here, except to ignore the new feature.

in the building section... A Bothy....

cute little building, but I had to look it up...

A bothy is a basic shelter, usually left unlocked and available for anyone to use free of charge. It was also a term for basic accommodation, usually for gardeners or other workers on an estate. Bothies are to be found in remote, mountainous areas of Scotland, northern England, Ireland, and Wales. They are particularly common in the Scottish Highlands. A bothy was also a semi-legal drinking den in the Isle of Lewis.

If ye kin say 'It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht the nicht,
Then ye're a' right - ye ken?

Like my farms I am redoing all of them, I redid farm 16 to replace farm 1 and what was farm 1 I am redoing to replace farm 4, then when I replace farm 4 I will have it to redo to replace another farm and the farm selector will allow me now to replace farms that I have redone.

Stoneface I saw it too, and like you didn't know what it was used for. Should have known before the Farming Bug, I read books, a book a day, and many were based in Scotland Loved the Berserkers, may not be spelled right those Big Blue GUYs

although the wee wife waiting for a butt in the moonlight sounds interesting, I suppose....

Maybe find some new 'new starting' or energetic neighbours? That is what I did

It always has been once a day, the 20 hrs that is their 24 hr... so if you did it today, you have to wait till tomorrow...
