( Lesson 8 ) Putting it All Together

Share
So how do you decide what to do first as you start to work on your farm? Well, your first priority needs to be getting some cash in the bank. I'd recommend plowing an area that's 4 plots by 4 plots and planting strawberries on the entire area first, assuming you’ll be able to check back on your farm in about 4 hours. You should have just enough coins to complete this task. You also won't have to wait too long before you can harvest your crop and start again.
Strawberries don't give you the best return on your investment, but they do give you enough so that you'll be way ahead by the time you harvest them. At this point, you'll be able to branch out into some other types of crops. Soybeans are the best one to opt for next though. Until you can advance and unlock some more crops, these will give you the best return on your investment. They also only take a day to mature, so you'll be able to replant quickly and build up your experience points fast.
This same basic theory will apply as you advance through the game and unlock more types of crops. While taking the characteristics and benefits of each crop into consideration is important, it's also very important to be realistic about how often you'll be able to check back on your farm. You can make the best planting decisions possible, but if you don't get back to harvest your plants in time, all that careful planting will go to waste.
