Farmville Farming up to 375 plots using only machines and not paying for fuel

Before you begin:


- Create 15 fields of 24 plots (6 by 4) or 25 plots (5 by 5) each. I prefer 6 by 4 because it's easier to work with the machines, but 5 by 5 also works. Label your fields with the letters A through O. You can use signs to mark them, or sketch out your farm on paper and mark them that way.

- Find three times a day to log in and play. Doesn't matter what times, as long as they are at least 6.5 hours apart (to give the fuel time to recharge). For example, I log in at 7am before work, 1 or 2pm when I get home, and again in the evening around 8 or 9. For the sake of explaining, these three times will be called morning, midday, and evening.

- Find out your most profitable crops. There are other threads about this; you should find your most profitable 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-day crops. Or, if you're not in it for profit, use whichever you like best!



Once you're set up, each time you log in there should be two fields where the crops are finished and ready to harvest (except during the first few days when you're getting started). Harvest those two fields and plant a new crop.

Day One

morning - harvest field A and plant a four-day crop; harvest field B and plant a three-day crop

midday - harvest field C and plant a four-day crop; harvest field D and plant a three-day crop

evening - harvest field E and plant a four-day crop; harvest field F and plant a three-day crop



Day Two

morning - harvest field J and plant a three-day crop; harvest field M and plant a one-day crop

midday - harvest field K and plant a three-day crop; harvest field N and plant a one-day crop

evening - harvest field L and plant a three-day crop; harvest field O and plant a one-day crop



Day Three

morning - harvest field G and plant a one-day crop; harvest field M and plant a four-day crop

midday - harvest field H and plant a one-day crop; harvest field N and plant a four-day crop

evening - harvest field I and plant a one-day crop; harvest field O and plant a four-day crop


Day Four

morning - harvest field B and plant a two-day crop; harvest field G and plant a four-day crop

midday - harvest field D and plant a two-day crop; harvest field H and plant a four-day crop

evening - harvest field F and plant a two-day crop; harvest field I and plant a four-day crop



Day Five

morning - harvest field A and plant a one-day crop; harvest field J and plant a two-day crop

midday - harvest field C and plant a one-day crop; harvest field K and plant a two-day crop
evening - harvest field E and plant a one-day crop; harvest field L and plant a two-day crop

And then start again with Day One and repeat... endlessly
Once you've got the cycle started, it's easy to remember without a chart: 2-day and 3-day crops alternate with each other on the same fields, and 1-day and 4-day crops alternate on the same fields.

So if you see a 2-day crop ready to harvest, you know to harvest it and plant a 3-day.

If you see a 3-day crop ready to harvest, you know to harvest it and plant a 2-day.

If you see a 4-day crop ready to harvest, you know to harvest it and plant a 1-day.

If you see a 1-day crop ready to harvest, you know to harvest it and plant a 4-day.

Advantages:

- I like using only the machines (I know 6 clicks versus 24 clicks doesn't really take that much less time, but it's the principle...)

- It's very quick - my morning and midday logins are usually 2-3 minutes each (in the evening I have time to poke around, harvest animals and trees, etc.)

- It's easy to remember what to plant (hopefully, if I've explained it well enough )

Disadvantages:

- I haven't figured out a good way to work shorter crops into the rotation yet, although I do sometimes use 12, 16, and 18 hour crops as a one-day crop (they just sit waiting at 100% until it's their turn). I do also have some extra fields that I hand-plant for shorter crops on weekends and long evenings.

Farmville Market Instructions In Plain English

Bushels have 'boost' power. if you are lucky enough to find a bushel of a crop before you harvest it, go into your stall inventory and 'use' 1. it will now give you +2 mastery points when you harvest instead of +1. It cuts your time in 1/2 to master crops.

If you don't have one in your farmville inventory before harvesting, start to harvest, find a bushel on your farm and then STOP harvesting. Go to your stall and 'use' one of the bushels you just found. It will give you +2 mastery for the remainder of the harvest.

Each boost is only good for 2 hours so you need a new boost every time you harvest.If you have bushels in your stall then your stall is 'open for business' and neighbors can come by and 'buy' some. It doesn't deplete your supply so don't worry. The next time you log in there will be an arrow above your stall. Open your market and you will be able to collect your 'payment' which is a choice of either xp, farmville coins or fuel.

If you have lower level neighbors, you can find bushels of higher level crops for them and put them in your market. Then they come by your farm and get them from you which will allow them to unlock higher level crops and plant them.

There, that's how the market works. I don't know why people want more than 1 stall unless they are hoarding which is ridiculous and unnecessary as you can make your own bushels.

Farmville Freebies - Count Your Chickens Before They’ve Hatched.

You can be notified on your news feeds about what free articles are available to you as well as on your neighbours profile pages. These come in a variety of awards from adopting animals, to bonus awards, celebratory gifts and even by fertilizing a neighbour’s farm. Your farmville neighbors can earn you a lot while they go about their daily farming business just like you do. The tricky part is getting in quickly and navigating between all the other feeds in the form of photos, U tubes and comments. What you need to remember is that there is a limited number of whatever freebie they are offering you. As soon as someone else places the article on their farm that one is gone. To be kind to others what you can do is keep it in your gift box though after you’ve won it for over an hour and other people can get the one you accepted because you haven’t yet place it on your farm out of your gift box. You could let your neighbors know this too and then many others can reap the same rewards. It makes it a bit of a team effort then. If you have a huge number of friends on Facebook it will be incredibly easy to miss the offers of freebies that you can use. My suggestion is to get FarmVille bonus checker which will then lay everything out for you and you can click away at the complimentary offers without missing valuable free stuff.

Farmville , Get Extra Chicken Coops Easily.

Farmville Guide to Extra chicken coops.Empty your chicken coop and put it in the very top right hand corner of your farm, even if you have to shuffle things around your farm a bit. Just put the chickens anywhere for now. They don’t need to be fed or unfed. Once you have placed the coop in the furthest top right hand corner go to the market and buy a tool shed or a barn. I pick tool shed because they are cheapest. Click on the shed and then click on expand storage. You expand it and publish it and get your neighbours to do it as a barn raising. You need to do that again then so you can get all the stars and publish again. When you have completely expanded you will then need to refresh FarmVille. Your two chicken coops will then turn up on the list of storage items. You will get two coops for each building you expand completely as long as your first coop is up in the top right hand corner.

You can delete your tool shed if you want to or sell it if you don’t want an extra one on your farm. Then you can do it over and over to get more chicken coops. This trick will also work with garden flower sheds. There is another way to get extra chicken coops though. Again take all your chickens out of the coop that you have, then open two windows, one with FarmVille and one with Facebook newsfeed. Run down the Facebook newsfeed list until you see a published feed about any mystery egg. When you find them open up the accepting link in new windows, as many as you want. In your FarmVille window open market and buy a chicken coop and then refresh FarmVille. You should have a coop for each premium egg that you accepted. Now you can set them up on your farm.

Some Farmville Tips

Logging into FarmVille on a daily basis you can progress better than if you only drop in now and then and the daily tasks are simple yet make a big difference to your overall production of coins and XP which of course will take you up through the levels.


Begin with collecting coins from the daily raffle when you login. Collect the bonus coins when your neighbors earn achievement ribbons and they publish them. If you miss the feed on your home page because you have lots of friends and therefore lots of feeds go to the neighbours profile page that you know is a frequent FarmVille player and collect bonuses there along with adoption of animals and so on. Keep up your crop planting, harvest your trees and your livestock. Collect the mystery coins. The more you plough the land the more you come across. They are worth 100 standard coins.



Be aware of how the game works. About how you can use every possible angle to do well. For instance, that you will get more XP by planting higher level crops and for buying particular farm decorations increases your XP too. By purchasing farm machinery it pushes your XP up as does expanding your farm.



Become skilled at how the crop cycles work in FarmVille. Know that Strawberries are one of the quickest plants to mature. You can log on once every 4 hours to harvest your strawberries. This will lend a hand immeasurably as you start to sow your first seeds. This will be monotonous when you first commence but you will have better crops.

Tips can be invaluable to those of us who don't have the time to play games constantly yet want to participate. There is a tips and hints farmville guide that goes with the game called FarmVille #1 Top Farmer. They also give you a free mafia wars guide with it. It is truly the most helpful guide I have come across. It covers nuts and bolts of the game as well as advanced clues and hints for most aspects of the game and when you consider that playing the game is entertaining as well as free. The cost of a reasonable secrets guide is nothing compared to other things you spend your money on to entertain. check it our here!

Some Farmville Ideas

*I wish that farm coins can be traded for farm cash. I think 100,000 farm coins = 1 farm cash is fair enough.

*Farmers deserve better outfit and they shouldn't be denied of hats.

*Since there is a snow blanket, why not have sand blanket, or a mud/dirt blanket.

*As an Asian, no farm is complete without a carabao. For those of you who have no idea what a carabao is, it's like buffalo that farmers use to plow the earth.

*I saw a dog from this forums banner, when will it be available? I hope other breeds are also available such collies, and basset hound or pitbulls.

*I dont know where the farmville crew got the idea of gathering feathers from ducks and geese, and swans, I think it should also be eggs that are to be gathered from these birds just to be fair to chickens.

*I think farmville should start developing duck and goose coops.

*I think horse stables should reproduce baby horses.

*What happened to the "tree of life"? The date tree is very attractive but I think coconuts deserves its proper place in the farm.

*I think it's a good idea to adopt a lost warthog

*Since there is a pond, i think there should be fish. My idea is this, it can function just like the valentines gift box. Friends will provide the fishes and ponds full of fishes would have a reward or extra earnings.

*Please bring back the waterfalls and the campfire.

*This is how much you would make per week if you were able to completely fill a single farmable plot with this animal/tree. It should be noted that the horse and cows take up twice as much space as the other animals. This is why the lot profits for them are so low.
**This animal was only available for a limited time.

Farmville Basics, which animals you can pet

Farmville , Best Tree

http://www.FarmvilleGuideBook.com
It is the most natural looking tree there is. It has a nice shade of green and its branches are spread out making it look big and natural. The fruits make it look even nicer while still keeping the overall green appearance.

I think the ornament trees could have been great for decoration because of their deep green shade and forest-like atmosphere, however they look like plastic. I use them anyway but I can only make them look real by partially hiding them between real-looking trees.

I also like the lime tree and the acai tree. The acai tree has an amazing fresh green look - a bright green like a baby plant just starting to grow out of the ground. The lime tree has the same fresh colors, and look even better with the fruit on (but does not look at natural as the Durian tree).

Passion fruit tree and apricot tree are nice as well: They have a somewhat irregular shape, a nice, natural looking shape of green and nice looking fruits.

The latest walnut tree looks plastic-like as well. It has a very plain shape and relatively unanimous shade of green which doesn't look natural for trees.

Starfruit tree rocks - it has a nice fresh shade of green and looks like something from legends with the fruit on. However, it too looks a bit too artificial.

So in conclusion: Durian tree - best tree ever.

Is FarmVille the future (of gaming)? Article From MSN

Canadians are among the most FarmVille-obsessed people in the world. What makes this Facebook game so popular?
Sharon is a respected member of her community, but she has a secret. That's why she won't let me use her last name. The Toronto native is director of business affairs for a major corporation and a mother of two, and she — like 74 million other people around the world — plays FarmVille.
FarmVille is a game that is accessed through Facebook. It's incredibly popular, and deceptively simple. Basically, the player owns a virtual farm. On it, he or she can plant crops and raise livestock. These items can be taken to the market and sold for coins, which can then be exchanged for supplies, seeds, livestock, fertilizer and even things such as more land, vehicles and a bigger house.
Developed by San Francisco-based Zynga — which also gave us MafiaWars and countless other Facebook-based games — FarmVille has been a huge success. It's the most popular app on Facebook and has more than twice as many regular users as there are people in Canada. And Canadians are among the most FarmVille-obsessed people in the world — we rank sixth in the world in FarmVille players. In fact, Canadian FarmVille players outnumber real Canadian farmers by at least ten to one.
* Video: Best new video games
And although FarmVille is free to play, Zynga is raking it in with annual revenues of over $100 million and a profitable bottom line. Most of that revenue comes from players — desperate to get supplies and other items they haven't earned yet — who use credit cards or PayPal to buy them. Rumours of a Zynga IPO are rampant, and a Russian gaming firm, Digital Sky Technologies, bought into the company with a $180 million investment last month.
And it's played by an enviable demographic. FarmVille is very popular particularly among 18-35 year-olds and has a 60-40 female-male split, according to Zynga. But they are hardly the only ones playing. Because it's fun in a way that's not violent or controversial, it appeals to all age groups and diverse tastes. "A friend of mine, his 80-year-old parents play FarmVille," said Bill Mooney, Zynga's Montreal-born vice president and manager of FarmVille. "And I guarantee there aren't many 80-year-olds out there playing Halo 3."
Like many adult players, Sharon was introduced to FarmVille by her kids. "My [nine-year-old] daughter wanted to play it, so I let her use my account because I don't want her on Facebook for any other reason," she said. "Then I started doing it with her and I got addicted."

Farmville Become The #1 Farmer

Well if you want to dominate Farmville and become the #1 farmer, here are 2 things that you can do:
- Plan the good layout for your farm to maximize your earnings
- Know when to plant your crops to have one big harvest

Maximize Your Earnings By Creating A Good Layout For Your Farm
By creating a good layout for your farm, you will be able to efficient use the space to plant more crops resulting in an increase in earnings. So if you have animals or trees, make sure you cram them all to one side of your farm. Try to place them together as close as possible to give more room for your money making crops.

If you own a 20x20 farm, your best option is to plant peas. Peas take one full day to mature and offer 126 coins each. So if you plant all pea seeds on your 20x20 farm, you can make 70,400 coins in just 1 day’s time.

Maximize Your Earnings By Planting Your Crops Around One Harvest Time
To get the most of out of each harvest, it is efficient to plant all your crops so they will mature all at once. This will give you a lot of coins and XP at one time. Here are 2 ways that you can do this:

- Plant all of the same crop on your farm, so that when they are ready to harvest, you will be able to harvest your whole farm at once
- The better alternative that takes longer and requires more skill is to plant different crops that result in one huge harvest. For example, plant a seed that takes 2 days to mature on half of your farm and seeds that take 1 day to mature on the other half of your farm. When one day passes, harvest the crops that are ready and replant seeds that take 1 day to mature on the same half that you have just harvested. On the second day, everything will be ready to harvest resulting in a massive amount of coins and EXP

But how do you know how to create the perfect layout for your farm and maximize your earnings with the biggest and best harvests?

Create The Biggest Harvests And The Best Farm Layout With The Farmville Secrets Guide
Knowing how to create the perfect layout and the biggest harvests to build the ultimate farm takes a lot thought and research. If you want an easier way to build the best layout and have the biggest harvests without spending time on research, it is highly recommended to use the Farmville Secrets Guide.

This guide is created from all the secrets that the top farmers use to build the ultimate farms quickly and easily. Farmville Secrets with show you exactly how to optimize your farm for maximum earnings through step-by-step instructions with detailed screen shots.
