Working on Your Farm

So hopefully now you have got to grips with managing the planting and harvesting of your crops, it is now time to look at what other experiences come with Farmville. When your level gets higher, so does your choice of interesting and sometimes profitable items for your farm. All this allows you to make your Farmville experience personal to you, by adding whatever you want like animals and vehicles and making it look nice with trees and buildings. You really can customize it however you like.

Living Things

You can buy some animals, different ones as you progress. Firstly you can buy a chicken, then a cow and then a sheep, as you progress through the levels. You can also get animals as a gift from your friends if you are lucky, some can only be received as gifts. A disadvantage of animals is that they are very expensive and you can’t make much money from their products. You only get 6 coins when you milk your cow, but it will cost you 400 to buy.

Animals take a bit longer to make a profit from than crops, but they are a lot of fun. They really like any attention that you give them and are nice to have, if you need to, you can sell them as well. Selling them is particularly profitable if they were given to you as a gift. And just like real farm animals, the animals at Farmville do have a tendency to wander off, if this happens, you will not be able to get them back. This
issue is easily resolved however by keeping them in their pens.

The idea is very much the same with trees, they also cost quite a bit and you cannot sell their fruit for very much money. But these are nice things to have on your farm and they sort of ‘recycle’ themselves by growing again each time they are harvested. You can buy a whole variety of trees and they can also be given as gifts. There is also no rate of rot with their fruit do you can take your time harvesting them. It can be left on the trees for a rainy day if need be. Trees can also be sold, not for much money but the option is there. You can also move them around your farm to different locations.

Decorative Objects

You can buy so many items to decorate your farm, making it unique to yourself. Each objects of course costs money, of varying amounts for each, and purchasing them will gain you experience points too. There is no profit to be made with decorations, but you will get some coins for them if they need ever arose to sell them. The aim of buying these items however isn't for the good of the farm; it is just to add some fun touches to it to make your Farmville experience even more enjoyable.

Farm Buildings and Transport

Eventually you can begin to build. The structures you can use are varied, and can get pretty expensive, but they are worth it and give you lots of experience points. They range from small simple objects such as wells to big mansions. They look great on your farm though, I recommend that you plan ahead when deciding which one to buy. Try sticking to ones that give the most experience points to get the best value for money. You are able to sell your buildings on like with everything else that I have mentioned, but again you will not make a profit.

You can also buy various vehicles for your farm; these are only available once you hit level 12 though. The choice is based on various farm vehicles like tractors and harvesters all will have a positive impact on your farm, but these too are expensive. This is because you need to buy fuel for them, and fuel can only be purchased with Farmville cash.

It's up to you to decide whether or not you want to invest in some farm vehicles. You can certainly get the benefits of speedier harvesting and seeding, but you'll also be paying out a lot for the convenience. It's best to wait to buy these until you have a big enough farm and income to support them. You can also sell these if you decide you don't want to keep paying for their fuel, but you won't get nearly as much as you paid for them either. You don’t have to buy a farm vehicle however, the choice is yours. There is the bonus of work getting done quicker, but the downside is the coast to do this. My advice is to wait until you have a big farm with a substantial income. Vehicles can also be sold for less than what you paid for too.
