Get Your Farm Together

I recommend building up some cash to start with, this is most important. Get a relatively small area plowed first, less than ten plots, and then I suggest that you just fill this area with strawberry crops (as long as you can check back in the next 4 hours). Now strawberries are not going to make you the biggest amount of money possible, however you will be in profit come harvest time. Then you can give other types of crops a go, I suggest trying soybeans. These are going to give you the best profit until you progress and unlock more crops.

Bear the above simple instructions in mind as you move through the game too. I must stress again at this point how important it is to factor in how often you can visit your farm into your decision making, as letting them wilt will ruin all your hard work.
