To increase your profit/space ratio use the two dairy method:
You needs:
2 Dairies
20 Milk Cows
x Seed Cows

1) Place the milk cows in dairy1 and the seed cows in no dairy leaving dairy2 empty.
2) Wait one day dairy1 should be ready and so should your seed cows.
3) Harvest dairy1.
4) Add a seed cow to dairy2 making it ready.
5) Move all but one milk cow to dairy2 from dairy1.
6) Remove the seed cow from dairy2.
7) Move the last milk cow to dairy2 from dairy1. Harvest dairy2.
9) Continue this proceeds till you are out of seed cows.

Here is the premise in order to do this with one dairy at some point in time you need to have one empty dairy (30 small squares) 20 milk cows(20*4=80 small squares) and x seed cows (x*4= 4x small squares) all placed on the farm at one time. Therefore the working space required for this method is 30+80+4x=110+4x. By adding a second dairy and holding the milk cows in it when they aren’t in the dairy they will be milked in we can cut down the second part of the above space calculation from 80(the space the milking cows occupy when removed from the dairy) to 30 (the space of the second dairy we will use for holding them). Thus the space requirement is dropped to 30+30+4x=60+4x.

1 dairy space required = 110+4x small squares
2 dairy space required = 60+4x small squares
profit per day = (x+1)*val

val is the single harvest value of your milk cows so using 20 pink or green cows as milk cows gives a single harvest value of 20*18=360 so val=360.

1 dairy profit per small square per day = ((x+1)*val)/(110+4x)
2 dairy profit per small square per day = ((x+1)*val)/(60+4x)

so for profit/space efficiency
using 20 pink or green cows as milk cows you only need
4 seed cows to beat olive trees using the 1 dairy method you need 8.
7 seed cows beats swans using the 1 dairy method you need 12.
14 seed cows beats acai using the 1 dairy method you need 25.

I actually tried quite a few of these guides, but not many of them had much helpful information to give. They were either designed for people who’d gotten all the way to the upper levels already, or they were severely outdated because of additions made to the game since they were released. FarmVille is a relatively new game and is still in the Beta stage, so a lot of improvements have been made to it in a short time and many of the guides on the market have not been updated to account for these changes.

So I finally broke down and bought FarmVille Secrets. This guide has been released pretty recently, so it’s up to date on all of the latest advances in the game. I found it to be immensely helpful to me, and I was quickly raking in the coins and moving up in levels like you wouldn’t believe.

Do You Lost in FarmVille? In addition to the helpful tips, FarmVille Secrets also includes some handy charts and other resources that help you to compare items available in the Market and also helps you to plan out your spending and improvement strategies. I think you’ll be as pleasantly surprised as I was when you read this guide and put the tips in it to use on your farm. I started to see results overnight almost. It’s definitely a guide worth checking out if you’re having trouble getting the hang of FarmVille, or if you just want to give your game an extra boost. Either way, you’ll be happy you tried it.

And I was actually rather surprised. Building my own virtual farm was much more enjoyable than I’d imagined it would be. Part of that was because there really were a lot of options and a lot of decisions to make. The more I played the game, the more I realized that there probably could be a lot of helpful information in a guide because there were just too many ways you could play.

Is Buying a FarmVille Guide Worth It? I was doing alright on my own, but I was getting more and more curious about what I might be missing out on. After I reached level 13 and was having a hard time getting farther, I decided to give one of the guides a shot. I bought FarmVille Secrets, a relatively new guide and pretty up to date on the latest additions to the game. I really wasn’t expecting too much, but this guide just blew me away.

Is Buying a FarmVille Guide Worth It? In no time, I was the Cream of the Crop, a level 24 farmer with a Big Family Farm and tons of neighbors to visit. Using the tips in this guide helped me way more than I thought they would – even when I read them. There’s a lot more to this farming stuff than meets the eye. I’d recommend picking up a copy of FarmVille Secrets if you’re interested in getting the most out of your FarmVille experience.

At this point though I hadn’t actually played the game, but I didn’t really think it could be all that complicated. I figured I should give it a shot though, just so that I could say I knew what I was talking about. And I was in for a rather big surprise. In no time, I was out of money and had no crops to plant. I have to admit, there way more to this game than I had anticipated.

I eventually managed to dig myself out of my original hole and out of the red, but I still wasn’t making all that much progress. I started to think that maybe I needed to see what these guides were all about. I wasn’t really expecting much, but since I hadn’t done so well on my own either, I figured it was worth a shot.
Do You Really Need a Guide For FarmVille?
So I picked up a guide called FarmVille secrets, and was pleasantly surprised by the tips I found in it. You wouldn’t think there were so many ways you could screw up a virtual farm, but believe me, you can. I was still stumbling along at level 6 when I got the guide after 2 weeks of playing regularly. Now I’m the proud owner of a plantation and a level 26 Sultan of Soil. And I still look back at my guide from time to time. If you’re having trouble getting into the swing of things in FarmVille, this guide is not a bad investment.

How to Get the Most Ribbons in FarmVille

Know What You Need

You won’t be able to focus your energies on earning ribbons unless you know what you need to get them. You can find this information easily enough by clicking on the ribbon icon in the lower right hand corner of your screen. This will bring up a list of all of the possible ribbons and show you how you’re progressing in each category.

Pick One

You do have limited resources, particularly when you’re just starting out in FarmVille. Because of this, it’s a good idea to focus on one type of ribbon at a time. Of course, it’s likely that whatever you do to earn those ribbons will help you to earn some other ones as well, but you can focus on those when you get to them.

Which to Pick

Before you decide which set of ribbons to go after first, you should take a few moments to learn what each ribbon category is about. This way, you’ll be able to get a good sense of which ribbons to go for first. For example, the Tree Hugger ribbons require that you harvest fruit from a particular number of unique trees, meaning that to get these, you’ll have to have a variety of different types of trees on your farm.

The Knock on Wood ribbons can be earned by simply harvesting any type of tree a certain number of times. This means that if you focus on earning the Tree Hugger ribbons, you’ll automatically be making progress towards the Knock on Wood ribbons as well. The converse is not necessarily true because you could get the Knock on Wood ribbon for harvesting from only one kind of tree.

Get Some Neighbors

Neighbors help you get ribbons both directly and indirectly. There are ribbons for just having a certain number of neighbors, how many times you help your neighbors out, and how many different types of gifts you receive. All of these categories are easier to progress in the more neighbors you have, so don’t hesitate to hit up your friends and earn some ribbons that way too.

How to Get the Most Ribbons in FarmVille

Expand Slowly

You want to get the most out of your land when you’re working in FarmVille. This means that you’ll want to clear a substantial amount of land so that you can plant as many crops as possible. You do have to be careful about how much land you clear at once though. It costs 15 coins to clear one plot of land, so if you clear too many at once, you won’t have any coins left to buy the seeds you want to plant.

Getting Started in FarmVille

It’s best to slowly expand your plowed plots of land so that you’re always able to take full advantage of their planting potential. After each harvest, it’s a good idea to replant on all of your current plots first. Once you’ve done this it will be much easier to figure out how much more land you can afford to clear this time around. Following this pattern will quickly allow you to expand your farm while ensuring that you always have enough money to plant on all of your cleared plots.

Plan Your Harvests

Another aspect of FarmVille that it can be tough to get the hang of at first is timing your harvests right. Each crop you plant in the game will take a particular amount of time to mature. Once a crop is mature, you can harvest it. But don’t wait too long. If you don’t get back in time, your crops will wither and you’ll just have to plow the land again and start over. It’s important to plan your plantings so that you’ll be able to get back to check on your farm before this happens.

One of the great things about FarmVille is that you can take it as seriously as you want to take it. If you only want to log in once a week, that’s fine. Just make sure you plant crops that will last that long. Once you start playing though, it’s not likely you’ll be able to stay away for very long.

How to Make the Most Money in FarmVille

These costs are easily managed of course because you’re harvesting and selling your crops for more than it cost to plant them. There are a lot of other items you can buy in the FarmVille market to decorate and build up your farm, and you won’t be able to get these without some significant sums of cash. Buying these items will also get you some much needed experience points to help you advance to the next level, so you’ll have to find a way to make sure you have enough money for all the discretionary items you want to buy.

Earnings Per Hour in FarmVille

Because you’ll be needing your coins for so much in FarmVille, you need to maximize the earning potential of your farm. The best way to do this is to figure out which crops pay out the most coins per hour. For example, strawberries sell for 35 coins per plot of land harvested and they take 4 hours to grow. Pumpkins, on the other hand, take 8 hours to grow and sell for 68 coins per plot of land harvested.

That means, for the same acreage planted, you’ll earn 8.75 coins per hour by planting strawberries, while the pumpkins will only get you 8.5 coins per hour. This may seem like a small difference, but these small amounts can add up fast. Of course, you won’t be getting your money’s worth unless you can harvest the crops as soon as they’re ready and immediately replant on that land.

A Quick Turnaround in FarmVille

If you’re not going to be able to get back to your farm for 8 hours, you’re much better off planting the pumpkins. The longer you leave a crop after it’s done maturing, the less you’ll be getting per hour once you harvest it. You can only make money fast on crops that mature quickly if you’re going to be able to harvest and replant as soon as they’re ready for sale. Make sure you take these details into consideration when you’re selecting your seeds at the Market, and you’ll be seeing your bank account swelling in no time.

How to Make the Most Money in FarmVille

Here is my guide to levelling up quickly, for those that have a life outside of the virtual world.  This guide does NOT require you to log in to Farmville every four hours, or set your alarm for 3am so you can harvest those berries, LOL! It is aimed at the student or worker who can only log in a few times a day. For the purpose of this guide I will start at level 5, but first let’s lay some ground rules:

Rule 1: Forget about aesthetics. This is not about having a pretty farm, it’s all about levelling up!

Rule 2: Use all of your land for crops if possible. Put your gifts (trees and animals) around the back edges of your farm (where you can’t fit plots), and fill the rest or your farm with your crops. You can make your farm pretty and spread out your trees and animals later, once you’ve reached a level you are happy with (see Rule 1).

Rule 3: Save your coins, and expand your farm as soon and as often as you are able to. Make sure have sufficient neighbours to meet the requirements. A bigger farm = more plots = faster levelling!

Rule 4: Try to achieve your ribbons when you get a chance, but without sacrificing too much crop space. There are numerous other threads about how to achieve your ribbons quickly, so I won’t waste time on that here.

Rule 5: Visit your neighbours once a day – at least 20 of them if possible. This will earn you extra XP (5 for the first 20 visits, and 1 for every one after). Edit: with the introduction of fertiliser neighbours take on added importance. When you fertilise a neighbours crop you get 1 XP (x 5) in addition to the XP for helping out on their farm. Also, when your neigbours visit you, every crop they fertilise earns you 1 XP at harvest time, so get as many of your neighbours as you can to visit your farm daily, and return the favour.

Rule 6: Farm vehicles don’t save you many clicks because they run out of fuel after 150 plots. Plus they take up valuable crop space, so don’t bother buying them. Go green – farm by hand!

Rule 7: Remember Rule 1, LOL!

O.K. Now that we understand the rules, let’s look at our daily plan:

Levels 5 – 11

Daily routine:

1. Plant pumpkins (8 hour crop) in the morning before school / work

2. Harvest the pumpkins and plant strawberries (4 hour crop) as soon as you get home

3. Harvest the strawberries and plant pumpkins again before you go to bed

4. Visit your neighbours and fertilise their crops – hopefully they will return the favour

5. Repeat daily

6. On weekends, if you are around your computer, plant strawberries instead of pumpkins as often as you can.

If you ever need to plant a 24 hour crop because you will be away from your computer for a long time, plant soybeans. Edit: While poinsettas are available, use them as your 24 hour crop instead of soybeans. Poinsettas are much better XP and it helps you work towards your flower ribbons.

Levels 12 – 16

Stick with the same plan as for levels 5-7. Don’t be tempted to move away from pumpkins and strawberries. Stick with them right through to level 16. Hopefully you will master those crops along the way and earn some bonus XP at harvesting time. To find out more about how mastery works. The only change from levels 5-7 is that if you ever need to plant a 24 hour crop you can now plant peppers (available at level 12).

Levels 17 – 19

Switch to blueberries instead of strawberries. Blueberries will become one of your favourite crops. Other than that, follow the plan for levels 12-16. Getting sick of those pumpkins yet?

Levels 20 – 31

Finally you can move away from those pesky pumpkins – surely you have enough to last until next Halloween now! Now you can move on to tomatoes – a fantastic and (I think) underrated crop.

Daily routine:

1. Plant tomatoes in the morning before school / work

2. Harvest the tomatoes and plant blueberries as soon as you get home

3. Harvest the blueberries and plant tomatoes before you go to bed

4. Visit your neighbours and fertilise their crops

5. Repeat daily

6. On weekends, if you are around your computer, plant blueberries instead of tomatoes as often as you can.

If you ever need to plant a 24 hour crop because you will be away from your computer for a long time, you should plant grapes now. Stick with these crops and you will master them after a few weeks. That bonus XP will come in handy as the XP needed to move up at each level becomes a lot higher.

Level 32 onwards

You can try out the peas for a 24 hour crop (much better than grapes), but for XP stick with your mastered tomatoes and blueberries and that same daily routine you started at level 20. If you get bored with tomatoes and blueberries you could upgrade to sugar cane and blackberries but the extra coin is not really worth the switch – especially because of the time it will take you to master these new crops. XP is the aim here, not coins!

Power Levelling *

Now, I have some tips for you. You can do some extra work to help level up if you have the time (and the inclination). Some people call this ‘cheating’ but since there are no rules about game play, I disagree. I prefer to call it ‘power levelling’. However you should let your own conscience guide you.

Tip 1 – the soybean delete method: This method has been well documented in other threads. This needs to be done straight after harvesting your crops, and it involves planting soybeans and deleting the plots straight away, and repeating that process. It costs you 30 coins per plot (15 to plow, 15 for the soybean seeds) and provides 3 XP (1 for plowing, 2 for sowing). So in essence is costs you 10 coins per 1 experience point, and involves a lot of clicking. Once you’re done, plant the crops in the above guide and you’re back on schedule.

Tip 2 – the hay bale drop and sell method: Just like the soybean delete method it involves a lot of clicks, and is simply a variation on the same theme. The hay bale drop and sell method involves buying yellow hay bales (for 100 coins each) from the market, and dropping them on your farm for 5 XP each. Then you sell them for 5 coins each. This equates to 19 coins per 1 experience point, so is almost double the cost of the soybean delete method. However dropping hay bales can be done wherever you have space on your farm (no need to use up valuable crop space). You could do it along the edge of your crops for example, and you can drop heaps from one single purchase at the market. The painful part is selling them – that is where all the clicks become annoying. If you have cash to burn though, I think it is easier and faster than the soybean delete method.

* power levelling costs you coins, but since you are not wasting them on buildings and decorations you will have plenty to spend on power levelling. However, remember to keep enough coins to expand your farms as often and as soon as you can. More plots = faster levelling!

I am not advocating power levelling. I am simply providing it as an option to those that want to level up as quickly as possible. It’s up to you wether you do it or not (and I really hope this thread doesn’t turn into a debate about the ethics of power levelling. ).

Finding and adding neighbors is one of the fastest ways to level up in Farmville. You need 50 friends to obtain the Local Celebrity blue ribbon which gives you 10,000 coin and 100xp. However, having plenty of Farmville neighbors has many other advantages as well. The more neighbors you have the more gifts you can receive, the more you will benefit by getting a bonus when they receive awards, and the more opportunities you will have to help your neighbors toward the Good Samartian ribbons. Plus, having friends in the game is just fun!

Unfortunately, adding people you don’t know in Facebook also exposes your personal information, your profile, and your status updates. It wouldn’t be very difficult for someone to pretend to play the game, get added as your friend, and steal all of your personal information and invade your privacy.

You should strongly consider following my 10 easy steps for protecting your Facebook profile before you add a single person you don’t know:

1. From your Facebook main page, click on the “Account” button in the upper right-hand side of the page and select “Edit Friends” in the dropdown box.
2. Select the “+Create” link on the bottom left-hand side of the page below Lists. If you don’t see the “+Create” link, click on the “All Connections” link on the upper left-hand side and you will see a link for “Create New List” in the upper-middle area. You should see a new window. Title your new list, “Farmville friends”, “Farmville neighbors” or whatever you want to call it. Select “Create List”.
3. After you have created your new list, click on the “Account” button again in the upper right-hand side of the page and select the dropdown for “Privacy Settings”.
4. Now you should see the Privacy Settings page. Select “Profile Information”.
5. Select the dropdown box for each option and select “Custom”.
6. Once you have selected “Custom” you should see a new window. At the bottom it should read, “Hide this from”. In the box in this window type the name of the list you created in Step 3 and select the list.
7. Repeat this process for every option on the page EXCEPT “Posts by Me” or your Farmville neighbors will not be able to see your updates when you share your awards, ribbons, lost animals, etc.
8. Once you have customized every option on the Profile Information page, click “Back to Privacy” on the upper left-hand side to return to the Privacy Settings page.
9. Now select the link for “Contact Information” and repeat steps 6-8 for every option on the Contact Information page.

Congratulations, you are finished! Very Important: Whenever you add a new friend for Farmville before you confirm them, select the “Add To List…” dropdown and select the name of your list (chosen in Step 3). You must put them on this list for this to work!

If you want to test and make sure it works, click on the “Preview My Profile…” link on the upper right-hand side of the Privacy Settings>Profile Information or Contact Information pages.

First off, lets start with some basic information:

But first first, some basic information to help you understand this basic information:

xx% represent any percentage value, ranging from 0-100, of any single cow.

yy% represents any percentage value, ranging from 0-100, of any DF.

DF stands for dairy farm… but I’m sure you could have figured that out.

Simple enough, so here’s how it works.

An empty DF counts the FIRST cow placed inside as its yy%. So place your highest xx% cow in first.

xx% cow into an empty DF, yy% becomes equal to xx%

xx% cow into yy% DF, DF stays at yy%

Any cow removed from yy% DF, cow resets to 0%. DF stays at yy%

Also note that an empty DF denotes a farm that has NO COWS (0/20), not a farm that is at 0%. This is very important.

Now, on to how we can use this information.

Re-harvesting cows: Harvesting a cow that is out in the open, and then placing it into a 100% DF and harvesting the farm. The cow you just placed in the farm will be harvested again, along with any others in the farm. Thus, re-harvested. Best used for pink, brown, and now, green cows.

This process can be repeated many many many…many times (as many times as you have 100% cows).

For best results, leave several regular cows out in the open so they can mature to 100%, along with any other cows that you plan to re-harvest. These regular cows will be used to reset your DF to 100%, so DONT harvest them! Simply place one of these matured cows into an empty DF, followed by 19 other, preferably 0% cows, and collect. You can then remove all 20 cows from that DF, and place another matured cow inside. Rinse and repeat as desired… Or until your finger falls off.

Yes, this process is a bit slow and click-heavy, but it will pay off. Even the rather expensive green cows (which I strongly suggest your run out and buy 19 of) will quickly pay for themselves with proper dedication to this technique. If you happen to have a whole farm worth of pink or even brown cows, well then, hay, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

But wait, there’s more! Aside from the prospect of nearly endless supplies of coins, re-harvested cows also count towards your zoologist ribbon. Every time you collect from a dairy farm, you get 20 harvests towards the ribbon, which adds up quick.

OKAY. hopefully this will help some of you get the most out of these dairy farms, and farm to the fullest. But as long winded as it was, I’m sure there are some details I left out, so I’ll be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Happy farming!
