MouseTractor is a freely-available program that saves you from having to keep clicking over and over, which as we all know can get really boring when you’re harvesting large Farm Town fields. Check out the video to see how it works, and let us know whether it helps you!

In case you haven’t already seen it, there’s a very useful data sheet available on Google Docs which contains all sorts of very precise information for harvesting and planning your farm and farming activities. You can see it here:

Farm Town Data Sheet

At first glance, it’s a lot of information to digest, but it’s very useful as a reference if you are planning to get serious about your farming schedule

When you plant a crop, it will go bad in approximately the same amount of time as it took to grow, so you should aim to harvest it (or hire somebody to harvest it!) within two times the time it takes to grow. For example, potatoes take a day to grow, and one day in Farm Town is 20 hours, so you should harvest them a maximum of 38 – 40 hours after planting them to ensure they don’t go to waste.

Crops never go bad when they’re in storage, and you make more money from stored crops, so get ‘em in there!

Trees never go to waste, unlike crops

Here’s a hint for those farmers among you that can’t always get to their farms to harvest their crops when they’d like to. I’ve been there myself – there’s nothing worse than finding all your lovely grapes and wheat in a shrivelled heap, waiting to be cleared away. Here’s the thing – trees and the fruit that grow on them never, ever go to waste! You could leave your farm untouched for months, and the fruit on the trees would still be there waiting to be harvested, unharmed. Lovely stuff!
