FarmVille on facebook Tips, Tricks, and More

I am a new FarmVille fan. I recently started wondering which plants would yield the best return… and how to earn more experience points (xp points).
This lens is an attempt to put all of my FarmVille information in one place and to share my knowledge with you…

I hope that you find this helpful. I’m still learning, but will share with you as I go along.
It seems that the most important thing is to

(1) make money (coins) and

(2) earn experience points (xp points).

If you haven’t experienced FarmVille then you can try it with your Facebook account. Search for FarmVille and download the application. Easy!

NEW* Bumper Crops Are Here

Leave your bumper crop tips in the interactive comment list below.

We don’t have much information about bumper crops at this time.
Apparently, you will get your bumper crop information via occasional popups while you are at your farm. You will also see the updates (from other farmers) in your news feed.
Anyone have some better bumper crop information please comment.

About Tractors!!

How to Buy and Use a Plowing Tractor

Step 1. Buy the tractor from the market, in a section located under the new “Tractor” tab.

Step 2. Place the tractor on your farm.

Step 3. Notice the fuel meter in the lower left-hand corner. It will decrease as you use fuel to tractor plow.

Step 4. Select the tractor icon from your menu by clicking on the plow tool and then selecting the tractor option.

Step 5. Plow the land by placing your pointer/arrow into the middle of a plot of land (a 2×2 grid) and click, as you normally do.

Note: You will plow 4 plots of land at the same time. Each tractor plow will cost -60 coins (as usual) and -4 fuel (which is new). Each tractor plow will add +4xp points (as usual).

Adopt a Brown Cow or Black Sheep in FarmVille

his picture is an example of a lost animal that has been posted to a friend’s news feed.

When a lost animal (cow or sheep) wanders onto your farm, you are helping find a home for it; you “help” it by posting it to your Facebook page. Then, your friends can adopt it from you. You, in turn, have to watch for your friends to post lost animals, and adopt it from them via the “Adopt this cow (or sheep)” link on their post.
Timing is important. If you click too soon after it posts and then you won’t get it. If you wait too long, then someone else will have adopted it. It’s a challenge to adopt a lost cow (sheep), but that’s part of the fun.
There doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason on lost animal appearances. You just take them as they come.

Achievement Ribbons!

Farmers visting their farms on August 7 were welcomed with achievement ribbons. Visit your farm now to see which ribbons you have earned. Each ribbon comes with coins, experience points, and a surprise gift in your gift box.
Only small gifts like hay bales have been reported. A few rest tents have popped up too.
Note: Gift boxes can only hold 30 gifts. If your box is full of free gifts from your friends (animals and trees) then it may not be able to hold the achievement surprises.

What should be the criteria for farm expansion?

Add neighbors. Facebook is a networking platform and meeting new people is always a good thing.

Buy neighbors. The game is fun and I play for free. I don’t want to add strangers to my facebook page. I wouldn’t mind paying a few bucks for the fun of expanding my farm.

Require certain add-ons before farmers can reach the next expansion level. This will allow farmers to relax and play the game at a slower pace.

I don’t really care. I’ll play no matter what.

FarmVille Expansion Requirements

Make Money in Farm Ville

Log on daily to get your coins from the Daily Raffle.
Harvest crops.

What is Farm Cash

Coins can be earned in the game or purchased with your real-life credit card.
Farm Cash can only be purchased with your real-life credit card. You can also purcahse extra Farm Coins with your credit card as well.
There is some controversy here because Zynga is charging players real money to use some aspects of the game. While this is a new feature for most Farm Ville players, this is not new or controversial in other Zynga game platforms such as Mafia Wars. Personally, I will probably continue to use the free portions of the game as the fee products don’t really excite me that much.
How about you? Are you bothered by this development? Leave your thoughts in the comment box below.

Farm Ville Crop Harvest Profit Margins

Cost: includes a 15 coin cost to plow the land before planting.

Farm Ville Tree Harvest Profit Margins

Farm Ville Dead Crops

** Updated – New Crop Withering Times **

Crops start to wither when their growth time has doubled.
There is a 50% cushion time during which your crops will start to wither.
Crops wither randomly, not in the order that you planted them.
Example:
Blueberries take 4 hours to fully bloom.
Blueberries will start to wither 4 hours after full bloom.
Blueberries will keep withering, bit by bit, for the next 2 hours (2 is 50% of 4).
As you can see from the chart above (see Harvest Profit Margins), blueberries can be very profitable… that is, IF you can harvest and replant them every 4 hours. Unfortunately, they also die quickly and can be a profit buster if you can’t get to your computer to check on them.
Plant crops that you don’t have to babysit as much if you cannot get to the computer every 4 hours or so.
