Farm Town Harvesting
Harvesting
How long does it take for a planted field to be ready for harvesting?
This varies among the different types of crops. The time it takes for each crop is shown in the store next to the bags of seeds.
Why did some of my crops go to waste?
If a crop is ready to be harvested and is not harvested right away it may go to waste. This time varies from crop to crop and is about the same time it takes for the crop to mature. Note: a Farm Town day is approximately 20 hours. At this point in time, fruit on trees do not go to waste.
Can other people visiting my farm harvest my crops?
No they can’t. They can chat with you if they are in your farm at the same time as you. They can also help pull weeds, rake or do other related tasks for which they will earn money.
Why is there a plus (+) sign in my storage area instead of the number of crops harvested?
Once you have over 100 crops in storage it will be reflected as a plus (+).
Why do some of my harvested crops that I sell say “Large” and others don’t?
Crops will appear in storage and in the marketplace in bags or crates, depending on which crop it is. If someone else harvests your crops for you then your crop will be labelled as e.g. sunflowers (Large). These are the crops that you receive more money for. Crops that you have harvested yourself will just say “Sunflowers” and you receive less money for them.
If a group of people harvest my crops do I earn more money?
You don’t earn more money if more than one person harvests your crops. One particular plot can only be harvested by one particular person and therefore you will only earn the regular set price on that particular crop.
Can we harvest our neighbours crops when they are away on holiday?
This is not possible but the developers are looking at taking this into consideration in the future. The best advice for now is, if you know you are going away for an extended period of time, to harvest all your crops and not replant anything until you return.
How do I sell my harvest or gifts in the marketplace?
When you first arrive a screen pops up asking you what you would like to do in the marketplace. One of the options is to sell your harvest or gifts. If this screen disappears just go over to Tom who is a stationary figure in the marketplace and click on him. The same screen with instructions will appear and you can sell your items that way.
