A Closer Look at Fertilizing

Crop Whisperer:
Fertilizing is just like any other harvesting, plowing, and etc. When you get the option of helping out neighbors, you can also fertilize their farm. There should be a pop up for helping them and then, once you close out of that, you can fertilize 5 plots of their crops. But! You can only fertilize crops in the process of a growing; meaning no dead rops or fully developed crops, and certainly not just plowed land.

But how? Well, if you look at a neighbor's farm after you have closed out of the pop up for helping them out, and they meet the criteria of fertilization abilities, then there should be an icon at the bottom left of the page within the FarmVille game. Simple enough?

There are no limitations on how many crops you can fertilize in one day. You cannot fertilize your own crops. You cannot fertilize the same neighbor's farm twice in one day. You can only do 5 or less of a neighbor's farm.

When you fertilize, it will have the same process of planting crops with the whole process bar telling you the percentage of how much it is finished. After you have fertilized a plot, they become all sparkly.

But wait! What does fertilizing do besides make it sparkly? Well, little kid, it makes them grow, atleast, twice as big and it rewards the neighbor extra experience points when harvested.

This guide is a little poor quality but you will get the idea and knowledge. Other youtube videos that had better image quiality failed to explain the entire process. Enjoy.

Crop Whisperer

The New Crop Whisperer Ribbon:
I haven't even gotten to a post on just ribbons in general but since so many of you have been wondering about the Crop Whisperer I'll get to this first. Below is a snapshot of what you should see on the last page of the ribbons pop up. (You can access the ribbon getting process by clicking on the button that has a symbol of a ribbon on it on the bottom right corner when you are at your farm or a neighbor's.)

Nobody is completely sure yet but what has been heard of it is that only randomly selected farmers get the ability to fertilize their neighbor's crops. Bummer, right? In order to achieve the first yellow ribbon you need to fertilize 100 things! Insane. But! It's pretty clear from the picture below that whoever gets these special powers are able to ATLEAST fertilize 5 plots at a time. No. It's a fact, actually.

What does it even do when a neighbor fertilizes? Well, as you can see beneathe this pharagraph it makes them bigger, better, and heck, EXTREMELY sparkly! Right next to the 5 fertilized peppers in the image is a boring, regular, non fertilized plot. See the difference?

But wait! You're still probably wondering, how do I get randomly selected? Obviously it's random, but it's just like helping neighbors with pulling weeds, chasing racoons and other shinanigans. If you're able to fertilize, at the bottom left; where your fuel status is, there will be a blue and white coin. You will be given only 5 bags of fertilizer.

Another thing, you cannot fertilize your own crops. That's just plain selfish and undoable anyways. Each awesome bag of fertilizer will give you one availale plot to fertilize. So in otherwords, you can't fertilize 5 plots with one bag. It doesn't work that way.

Basics of Harvesting Crops

We're students, right? That means we have studying for quizzes to get to, homework to finish, sports, everything, and anything! Here's a calculation of different crops, how much they cost (plowing and for the actual seeds themselves), experience points gained, suggested planting times (based on when a THS student is at home), and ofcourse, the profits.

name of seed/ time it takes / profit (amount you earn for selling it minus the plowing and the cost of the seed; per plot/ per day) / XP gained (not with crop mastery) / (suggested) planting time(s) / profit (per plot/ per day based on the suggestedplanting times)

PD=per day

PEP=per each planting

For anything that says something absurd like, "Blah blah blah!" means you can plant that seed any time of the day because it takes a day or more to harvest. I was lazy to type the same boring, "plant anytime you want" over and over again.

Feel free to click on the image to enlarge it to its maximum size and clarity. I realize this image makes it blurry. (It should let you; if not then it's being a poop.)

*Certain seeds may not be available to you due to the level you are at.

Personally, I believe that grapes are the best buy since it's not under a strict time schedule. Sunflowers are 2nd up though. Anything below those 2 I'd have to say that rice is a fair bet.

Special thanks to Trevor for providing information on higher crop levels. Currently, as of 10-15-09, he is at a high level of 30.
