Farm Town - Plow multiple fields

There's a new update in Farm Town and it introduces the ability to plow multiple fields. Regular readers of my Farm Town Blog might recall that I suggested this is exactly how multiple plowing might work back in June when the "watering" feature was introduced.

While we're looking at the image take note - if they ever do add the ability to plough and sow large areas in Farm Town this is how it may well look: a large "cursor area" rather than the "drag selection" that some have suggested.
You can read that post here.

So how does it all work, well you click the plowing tool and you are presented with three options: x1, x2 and x4



you then hover over the spot you want to plough and away you go.



This is going to be a real time saver for all of those industrial farm town farmers out there... though of course it will now mean you have more free time on your hands and might actually have to go and do some real life stuff, like wash the dishes, the kids or even yourself!

A number of my friends have however reported problems when farmers that you hire use these tools, often they don't get paid coins or xp and in some cases it deletes the harvested field and returns it to it's "grassy" state.

So now we just need to sow multiple fields!

Farm Town - Avoiding the Marketplace Beggars

Begging in farm town really can get on peoples nerves. The Marketplace can be an iffy place to visit with people begging, being abusive and using Farm Town cheats to trick you into hiring people.

If you get fed up of the marketplace but still need to visit it to sell your crops (though you can do from your storage) here's how to do it:

1) Click the connection button and disconnect yourself



2) Visit the marketplace and Voila! It's empty and you can still sell your Farm Town crops!

Farm Town - get rich quick?


Some of you may remember my posts about making money in Farm Town on facebook, well with the advent of the new crops things have changed a little.

Raspberries especially now allow those of you with far too much time on your hands to plant about 11 rounds of crops, yes its true that Raspberries sell for less than grapes but don't forget that it's time in the ground that counts and just because of the sheer amount of Raspberries you can plant in any one day in Farm Town makes it the candidate for the most profitable crop!

Those of you who like to have a life outside of Farm Town might like to know that as far as my quick calculations show Blueberries are now the King of the three day crop giving you a profit of 197 Farm Town coins (excluding seed costs) per unit. Previously Onions were the best three day crop giving you 168 Farm Town coins.

I suspect that over the next few months we'll start to see people earning a lot more!
