Getting Some Harvesting Time and Experience

Just like in real life, different crops take different times to grow, and you need to remember this for when you are planning to harvest them. In Farmville your strawberries will be all ready to go after just 4 hours, but they need to be harvested before 8 hours however as after this time they will become worthless. So when planting your crops you need to consider when you will be able to get back to them. This enables you to make the most of your land and you will make the most profit. Also, you will make more money from specific crops that have a longer growing time.

You can also get experience points from growing your crops. For example, if you plant crops that will grow in one day, you will be provided with 2 experience points. The benefit from obtaining experience points is that you are able to progress through Farmville’s levels much quicker. It is worth mentioning the fact that as strawberries
grow quicker, they will get you 1 point per batch, but if you can regularly visits your farm I would concentrate on planting these as they will earn you more point’s long term.

Harvest Time

One thing to consider is how long it will take to harvest a crop. For example, strawberries takes 4 hours to harvest after you plant them. You have up to two times the amount of time to harvest a crop after you plant it. So if it takes 4 hours to grow, then you have 8 hours since the time you planted to harvest it. If you don’t, then the crop will wilt and become useless. So be sure to plan ahead! If you know you won’t be at your computer within 4-8 hours, then don’t plant a 4-hour crop.

Harvesting, Plowing and Planting More Easy and Faster

This simple tip will speed up your FarmVille harvesting, plowing and planting so your playing experience.

When you first log on to your farm you will notice that your character always starts at the center-most area of your FarmVille farm. Likewise, when you visit your neighbors’ farms the same rule holds true.

In most cases the center-most area that your character occupies consists of one plot of the farm, but in some of the larger farm expansions it may be two plots. In either case, if the plot(s)are plowed or planted, you will need to dig them up so they are grass.

After digging up the plot(s) you will need to move your character out of the way so you can build a perimeter around the plot(s). I have found that the best way to do this is with bales of hay — which you can obtain in the decorations category of the market for $100 coins each. It Will take approximately 12 bales of hay to complete the perimeter. You will need to place all but 2 of the hay bales around the perimeter, but DO NOT close it in yet.

Before closing the perimeter of hay bales you must place your character inside so he or she can be closed in.

After moving your character, place two more hay bales as such that it closes your character into the perimeter of the hay bales so he or she cannot get out.

Now your character is trapped in the perimeter of hay bales and cannot go about your farm. As such, he or she will no longer have to travel to any given area to harvest, plow or plant, and you can now achieve these things MUCH FASTER!
