Introduction Who knew that the secret dream of millions was to be a farmer? Zynga did, that’s who!
Zynga is a gaming company with a number of strategy games, most of which are integrated with Facebook. One of the most popular of these games is Farmville. It’s a Utopian world filled with clear skies and plenty of sunshine for growing crops and raising animals. It’s a great cyber-place to work hard and relax all at the same time; a carefree world far removed from the pressures of everyday life.
The whole point of the game is to plant crops, harvest them before they rot, collect coins and cash to buy goodies for building your own dream farm, gain experience points, earn ribbons, help your neighbor, and get help in kind. It’s quite possible to go it alone if you’re a bit on the introverted side, but much more fun can be had if you socialize and interact with your neighbors. Plus you’ll be able to grow your farm much faster and reach higher levels sooner if you’ll allow yourself to be somewhat of a social butterfly.
One thing that may not occur to very many people is that Farmville can also be a great educational game—listen up homeschoolers and teachers! It requires a bit of strategy to know what to plant or buy, keeping your fuel supply in check, and keeping track of when to harvest. This makes Farmville a Critical Thinking skill builder extraordinaire. And, keeping track of coins and cash aren’t bad for stretching the math muscles either. A foreign concept to those of us born back in the day, ROI (Return on Investment) is a widely understood term with today’s kids after becoming frequent players of Farmville.
Players have to be responsible too: forget to harvest in time and the crops will wither or the animals will wander off. There’s no violence whatsoever and cooperation among neighbors is the lesson for the day. How many games can claim so many benefits for all the fun that goes along with it?
3
Like most everything else even Farmville has its dark side. There are only a couple of bad things about Farmville really. One is that players can become addicted to the game and two, since players can buy coins and cash with real money, some have gotten themselves into debt just to try and build the biggest, baddest farm on the planet. So, just keep your wits about you and lock up the credit cards and you should be fine.
4
Putting on Your Overalls When you first sign up to play you’ll be creating your farmer avatar. You get plenty of choices: everything from skin color to the shape of your ears. You’re also given a small farm with six plots along with a few coins and cash to get you started. Two of your plots are pre-planted and ready to harvest, and two are pre-planted and growing. As you harvest your crops you receive coins and experience points. It’s important to keep track of harvesting schedules so your crops won’t wither. As a rule of thumb, wither time is twice that of harvest time. In other words, if a crop takes a day to mature, then it will wither in two. Time to maturity ranges from a few hours to a few days. If you have a wide variety of crops, then you’d certainly better be on your toes to keep up!
5
To Market, To Market As you harvest your crops you’ll be plowing and heading to the market to buy more seeds. The seeds that are available to you depend on the number of coins you have and the level you’re on. Here is where you’ll need to be strategic about what you buy and plant. You want to choose plants that will yield the most coins per hour in order to prosper quickly and earn you as many experience points as possible.
6
Getting a Handle on Your Hoe As you advance levels in the game of Farmville, and you become more skilled at the basic aspects of the game, you may desire a new challenge. Crop Mastery is a great way to challenge yourself and to have something to show for your hard work. Mastering crops takes time, but if you are a regular player then you may be up for the challenge.
There are three levels of mastery for all Farmville produce, except limited edition crops which cannot be mastered. To begin the art of mastery you may wish to start easy with a one or two day crop to focus upon. You should estimate how many plots of land you have, to determine about how long it will take you to conquer each harvest.
For details on how much work you will need to do to master a crop, visit your market page and mouse over the stars and progress bar below each crop. You will see a number to indicate how much you have already planted and how much of that crop you will still need to plant. For example, to conquer the first level of rice mastery, you need to harvest 400 plots. If you have already harvested some, when you mouse over the progress bar, you will see a number such as 302 above the 400 to indicate the earlier produce you planted. Each level of mastery requires you to harvest more of that crop than the previous level.
If you are not sure what crop to start with, decide how often you will be able to visit your farm. If you can only visit twice a day, consider a twelve hour crop. If, however, you live and breathe Farmville, go all out and harvest those two hour crops. How much of a crop you need to plant is determined upon how long that crop takes to grow. Raspberries, a very short two hour crop, require 1500 units for the first star. Bell peppers take two days to harvest, but only require 350 units for that first level. Determining what to master will depend on what you have the time to do.
If you are intent on getting as many crops mastered as possible, you may want to rotate between mastering two or three crops at a time. For example, plant a twelve hour crop before bed, plant a 7
two hour crop if you are home for the morning and plant an eight hour crop before you leave for work. It will take longer to master more than one crop at a time, but you may find it fits your schedule better.
So what is it all for? Crop masters receive a Mastery Sign for each crop they conquer. You can place your sign anywhere on your property to exhibit your superb farming abilities. Crop mastery signs are bragging rights on Farmville. A daunting row that catches the eye of visitors is especially nice to have.
Crop Mastery is rumored to become even more fun in the near future. Zynga has mentioned a coming Farmer’s Market where Mastery will be important. So, if you haven’t conquered any crops yet, get to work. The fun is just beginning!

How to Be the Best Co-op Farmer You Can Be Farmville prides itself on being the game where you can farm with your friends. Since the arrival of co-op farming, that has never been truer. Co-op farming is an opportunity to work in tandem to plant and harvest specific crops, such as morning glories, for particular purposes, such as to decorate a town. There are currently eight co-op jobs available for you to join or start. Depending on how quickly you are able to finish a job with your co-op you will receive either a bronze, silver or gold medal. Gold medal winners will also receive a unique gift. Co-op farming is not for the faint of heart; rather it is for the die-hard Farmville fan who knows exactly when his or her crops will be ready. Are you up for the challenge?
There are several ways to help your co-op succeed at each mission that you take on. Regular communication with co-op members is a must. Find out how much crop they will be able to harvest and how soon they think they will be done. If there is a job where you need more than one kind of crop, be sure to assign crops to specific members. You may wish to work often on co-op missions with a particular group of friends who you can trust to do the job.
When you visit the co-op page with the intention of starting a new co-op, see if any of your neighbors has already started one that you can join. It is a good idea to begin co-op farming by helping someone else first. Once that mission is finished, start your own co-op and ask your friend to join. It is best to focus on only one job at a time.
Another great way to succeed at co-op farming is to plan ahead. When you take on a new mission, do the math to determine how much crop you will be able to plant at any given time. It is important to know how many plot squares you have. You may even want to make your plot area bigger. Co-op farmers succeed when they plan their crops around their real life schedule. For example, plant your twelve hour morning glories before you go to bed, and they will be ready the next morning. Once you have figured out how much crop you can grow all at once and over the course of a day or two, share this information with your co-op members and determine if you need to recruit more associates. 9
It is important to make sure you have the time to make the co-op commitment. Most co-op missions run between one and a half to four days in length. Be sure you will be able to visit the game regularly and converse often with your co-op. If you are not certain, you may wish to wait until you have more personal time.
Recruiting co-op members is necessary to complete jobs fast. On your co-op page you will find a button to recruit members via the news feed. Use this button early and often. This is the only way you can bring new members to your co-op. At this time, there is not an option to send co-op requests to specific members. You may, however, consider emailing some close friends and asking them to join.
If you think co-op farming is addictive now, Zynga already has more in store. Throughout the months of April and May they will be releasing several new jobs. There will even be a special Earth Day mission. They will also be adding a co-op message board to help facilitate member communication. There is even a rumor of something called Instant Grow coming to Farmville to help you complete jobs faster. If you haven’t joined a Farmville co-op yet, stop by today and check it out.

How to Make the Most of Seasonal Farmville Gifts During the holiday season in December, Farmville began offering the opportunity for neighbors to send and receive holiday gifts. Christmas gifts were placed beneath the tree and opened on Christmas Eve. There were some fantastic gifts from unusual decorations to extra fuel. Valentine’s Day brought the mail box where you could collect gift cards and redeem them for six specialty items. The St. Patrick’s Day Pot O’ Gold and the Spring Egg Basket further escalated redeemable gifts. The prospects are limitless for what players will collect and redeem next. With so much possibility, it is important to make the most of seasonal gifts.
The best way to make use of free seasonal gifts is to send them often. When you visit your farm each morning, hit the free gift page first and send a piece of gold, spring egg, or whatever seasonal gift is currently available. You can send again in about six hours, so consider doing so if you visit your farm more than once a day.
Each day you will have the opportunity to accept your own gifts from friends. It is tempting to open them early in the day, but if you know you will be logging on again, consider waiting. When you wait until a few hours after you send your morning gifts, your gift acceptance page will give you the opportunity to send a thank you gift to that friend. This is a great way to reward regular gifters.
So what does all of this sending do to help you fill your spring basket? By being a good gift sender, you are certain to be remembered by your friends when they send out their gifts. You are also giving friends who do not visit the gift page an opportunity to send you a thank gift through their acceptance page. Encourage your friends who do not get to play on a daily basis to at least accept their gifts and return the favor.
If you are still in need of more items to reach your collection goal be sure to visit your friends’ profile pages and your own news feed. Every time a Farmville player places five holiday gifts in their collection basket, they will have the opportunity to post a note to their news feed offering an additional item to some friends. Ten of their friends can collect that gift within 24 hours, so be sure to look often and click fast. Also be sure to click “like” on that posting. This will encourage 11
your friends to place these items on news feeds regularly. Don’t forget to post to your own profile when possible. Friends who do not play the game can filter these items out of their news feed. Be sure to let them know this.
A fun way to collect a ton of seasonal items is to make it a challenge among friends. In your Valentines box or other collection device you will see a comparison button that allows you to see who has the most. Make it a friendly competition to see who can collect more and offer a small prize such as a coffee shop gift certificate.
When you click on your seasonal collection basket you will also see an “Ask for” option. Each day you can send a request to your neighbors asking them for an additional holiday gift beyond what they have already sent. Be sure to do this each day and your basket will overflow.
Did you know that Farmville allows you to send seasonal gifts for a few days beyond that holiday? At Christmas, gift sending continued for twelve days after. So if you haven’t met your goal by St. Patrick’s Day, you still have a little more time. Remember, when sending and receiving seasonal gifts fill up your friends’ baskets first. They will be sure to recognize your good deed.

The Ongoing Search for Farmville Fuel Fuel is a much sought after Farmville commodity, as it gives you the opportunity to plant and harvest crops more easily and efficiently. In the past, players who owned plows, seeders or harvesters could only purchase fuel with farm cash. Fuel tanks, however, renewed quickly. Recently, fuel became much slower to renew. How fast your fuel replenishes is dependent upon the amount of plotted land you have. Although tanks refill slower, it is now possible to find fuel during game play.
So where can you get extra fuel for your machines? Well it doesn’t grow on trees, but pretty close. You can find fuel on your very own farm. While plowing your fields each day, you may stumble across some for yourself and the opportunity to post to your profile so others can collect some as well. Be sure to check your own news feed to see which friends have found fuel to share. Some friends may filter what goes to news feeds, so you may actually need to visit their profile. You should look often, as extra fuel postings expire in twenty-four hours.
You can also accumulate fuel by visiting your neighbors and fertilizing their plowed fields and crops. It is random as to when it will occur, so you may need to visit a few friends before you find gas. You will only get gas once per day from this method. By fertilizing your friends’ crops daily you can easily gain enough surplus fuel to harvest quite a few rows.
Mystery boxes are also a great way to collect gas refills for your farm. What is inside can be anything from an unusual animal, to a tree or even a tank of fuel. That is why if you are not sure what gift to send, you can’t go wrong with a mystery gift. And when neighbors return the favor, you can usually find at least one box bearing fuel a couple times a week.
Holiday gifting is another great way to fill your gas tanks. At Christmas time, players with overflowing trees were able to score some large amounts of fuel when they opened their presents on Christmas Eve. Further holidays such as Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day have offered gifts redeemable for other items rather than gifts that can be opened. This has reduced the odds of finding fuel during a holiday. There is, however, still one way to do so. When your neighbors click on their holiday collection basket , they have the option to ask you for additional holiday 13
gift items. When they send the request, you will have a row of souvenirs to choose from as a token for helping your friend in need. A partial tank of fuel is among those options.
As in the past, you can purchase fuel from the Farmville Market. Fuel comes in five different sizes: one, ten, twenty, thirty or fifty fuel refills. Each refill size costs from 3 farm cash to 65 farm cash. You can obtain farm cash either by leveling up or buying it with real cash. This is the easiest way to get fuel, but obviously the most expensive.
If fuel is not an important part of your every day farming, you can chose to save it up for those times when you really need it. It is nice to have when you are short on time and need to harvest your tomatoes before you head to work. However or wherever you find fuel, it is certain to be a great farm helper.

Great Ways to Make Your Farm Unique When you visit Farmville each day, you may notice pictures of some amazing farms as you wait for your farm to load. Do you find yourself scrounging through the market trying to find the rolling hills and waterfalls you see? Would you believe that there are no waterfalls or rolling hills? They are all created from the very same items you buy in the market and receive from the free gift page. If you want to make your farm unique and interesting, decorations are your best friend.
Most of the more extreme designs you see on the loading page are an optical illusion. There are four primary tools you can use to create these illusions: hay bales, trees, fences and the plow tool. If you have the smallest farm size available, you will need to upgrade to the biggest piece of land your coins and farm cash can afford. You will also need time and patience to place the large number of decorations required to create the look you desire.
Hay bales and fences, a cheap choice, come in a variety of colors and can be used many ways. For example, did you know you could use gray, black and white hay bales to create a road? Deep blue bales create the appearance of water such as a lake or waterfall. In order to create a special look with hay bales and fences you must place them at the correct angle and spacing from one another. For a stacked look, you need them to be just far enough apart that instead of looking like there is a gap between them it actually looks like the bottom is touching the top or middle of the other.
If you desire a farm with rolling hills, get out your plow. You should stagger your plots of plowed earth in two piece sections to make machine use easy and to create a wavy look to your land. You also need to stagger your trees along the same line to further illustrate the illusion. Trees are especially great for hiding the fuzzy edges of your optical illusion. You can even place them around your faux hay bale lake.
If you are not interested in rolling hills, waterfalls, or stacked fences, there are also many other great ways to make your farm distinctive. Check out the free gift page and the market to see what items catch your eye and consider what you can use them for. A bunch of gifted small hills 15
make a lovely grassy area with flowers. You can also use stone mailboxes to make a stone fence. Green hedges are great for farm mazes. If the item you wish to use is only available on the free gift page, send it to your friends and ask them to send it back to you. Also, be sure to add it to your wish list in your gift box.
Crops are another great way to make your farm unique. There is, however, quite a bit of planning involved in this. You must devise a design and decide what crops will give you your colors. You will also need to determine how to make the timing of the various colored crops line up to create your design without having part of it wither while another part grows. Although crop designs can take more time, the visual effect is worth the effort.
The most important key to creating a unique farm is to experiment. Don’t be afraid to try new things. After all, that is what the delete tool is for. For additional or cutting edge farm decoration ideas, the Farmville forums are full of people sharing their designs and how-tos.

Farmville Spring Cleaning It’s spring time, which means spring cleaning. As you sanitize every square inch of your home, don’t forget to spring clean your farm. You won’t need your cleaning products and rubber gloves for this, just your mouse.
Organizing your farm regularly is important. Doing so can allow you to optimize precious space. When you rid yourself of farm clutter you can allow for more crops, trees and animals. This means more coins and more experience points. Another benefit of organizing your space is to make it easy for your Farmville farmer to move around quickly. Items in the way slow your farmer down and require you to wait on him to plow, seed or harvest.
So what should you do with your stuff? There are three options. You can store it, sell it or buy a bigger farm. Storage is available in Farmville buildings such as barns, greenhouses and sheds. Storage, however, is limited to just a few items of any size per building. To get more storage you can either purchase more buildings or expand the ones you already have. Expansions can be acquired through farm cash or a barn raising via your news feed. By hosting a barn raising you will post asking for friends to help you. You need the help of ten neighbors in three days to complete your barn expansion. Since you only have a limited amount of time, you may want to send your friends a message to ask for help. Each friend can help once a day.
If you are simply over the clutter and don’t want to store it, you can sell it. Doing so will remove it from your farm forever, so click carefully. If selling is the way to go for you, you may have a little trouble determining what to sell. Focus on things that don’t make your farm any money or experience points. If you have ten benches, consider selling eight or nine. And if you still have your Christmas tree up, chuck it fast and get in the mood for spring and summer items. If however, you are not sure about ditching some of the unique decorative items such as sunflowers or gazing balls, consider keeping just one and selling the rest.
Another great option is a farm expansion. You can purchase an expansion with coins if you have enough neighbors. If you do not have enough neighbors or coins, you can use farm cash. Expanding your farm can give you more room and minimize your need to purge. 17
Whatever items you have on your farm, keep in mind that there will always be more items coming soon. Every season, holiday, and even week brings the option for new specialized Farmville goods. With daily and sometimes multi daily gifting available you can easily accrue more stuff than your farm can hold. It would be nice to keep it all, but just like in real life, sometimes you can’t. Don’t forget, seasonal items will be available again, and who knows there may be a bigger and better version next time around.
Build Your Farmville Nursery Today
18
Farmville has a new building! Nursery barns are finally here. Now you will have a home for all of the baby horses and baby cows you have collected. So grab your frame from your gift box or from the market for 5,000 coins and get started collecting pieces.
The nursery barn is constructed in the same manner as the Maison House and horse stable. You will once again collect fifty construction pieces. Much like the other buildings, the materials include nails, boards and bricks. Unlike the Maison House and horse stable, however, the nursery also requires bottles and blankets. You will need to collect ten of each item to complete your building.
There are a variety of ways to quickly collect pieces for your nursery. As soon as you place the foundation you will find a bottle already inside. You will also get to post to your profile feed and allow neighbors to send you an initial piece. From there, you can receive gifted pieces each day. Every player has two pieces available to send on their free gift page. Some pieces available will have a construction hat above them that indicate they are usable for more than one constructible building.
In order to determine what construction pieces you still need, click the “look inside” button on the menu for your nursery. When you look inside you will see all of the items you have collected and what you still need. Once a day you will be able to click a button on the “look inside” page to ask for pieces. This posting will let your friends know how much of each item you still need. If construction from free gifts is not going as fast as you would like, you can buy each item for one farm cash in the market.
Be sure to send your friends gifts each day from your gift page. You can also send nursery construction items you do not have by sending a thank you gift from your gift acceptance page when you receive a construction piece. You will also have the opportunity to give your friends extra pieces on your news feed at various times during construction: when you have collected all ten of each item, and when you have collected twenty-five pieces total.
19
Once your Farmville nursery is complete you can use it house twenty foals and calves total. Like the milk barn, you can collect from your baby animals once every day. Work hard on your nursery and you will have a great surprise waiting inside, a gray foal. When you receive your foal, you can post to your profile and allow a handful of neighbors to collect one as well. Be certain to share this opportunity with your friends, and be sure to check your news feed for a chance to collect a foal yourself. For the time being, the nursery will only be able to house foals and calves and collect from them. Eventually, the nursery will be a location where babies can grow into adult animals. With so much potential for your baby animals, creating your nursery will be well worth the hard work.
