Why FarmVille?
I am a new(ish) FarmVille fan. I recently started wondering which plants would yield the best return... and how to earn more experience points (xp points).
This lens is an attempt to put all of my FarmVille information in one place and to share my knowledge with you... I hope that you find this helpful. I'm still learning, but will share with you as I go along.
It seems that the most important thing is to
(1) make money (coins) and
(2) earn experience points (xp points).
If you haven't experienced FarmVille then you can try it with your Facebook account. Search for FarmVille and download the application. Easy!

*NEW* Bumper Crops Are Here
Leave your bumper crop tips in the interactive comment list below.
We don't have much information about bumper crops at this time.
Apparently, you will get your bumper crop information via occasional popups while you are at your farm. You will also see the updates (from other farmers) in your news feed.
Anyone have some better bumper crop information??? Post your information on the interactive comment list below. Vote for the best information so that we can keep good information at the top of the list for others who visit this page.

About Tractors!!
How to Buy and Use a Plowing Tractor
Step 1. Buy the tractor from the market, in a section located under the new "Tractor" tab.
Step 2. Place the tractor on your farm.
Step 3. Notice the fuel meter in the lower left-hand corner. It will decrease as you use fuel to tractor plow.
Step 4. Select the tractor icon from your menu by clicking on the plow tool and then selecting the tractor option.
Step 5. Plow the land by placing your pointer/arrow into the middle of a plot of land (a 2x2 grid) and click, as you normally do.
Note: You will plow 4 plots of land at the same time. Each tractor plow will cost -60 coins (as usual) and -4 fuel (which is new). Each tractor plow will add +4xp points (as usual).
Adopt a Brown Cow or Black Sheep in FarmVille
This picture is an example of a lost animal that has been posted to a friend's news feed.
When a lost animal (cow or sheep) wanders onto your farm, you are helping find a home for it; you "help" it by posting it to your Facebook page. Then, your friends can adopt it from you. You, in turn, have to watch for your friends to post lost animals, and adopt it from them via the "Adopt this cow (or sheep)" link on their post.
Timing is important. If you click too soon after it posts and then you won't get it. If you wait too long, then someone else will have adopted it. It's a challenge to adopt a lost cow (sheep), but that's part of the fun.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason on lost animal appearances. You just take them as they come.
Achievement Ribbons!
Farmers visting their farms on August 7 were welcomed with achievement ribbons. Visit your farm now to see which ribbons you have earned. Each ribbon comes with coins, experience points, and a surprise gift in your gift box.
Only small gifts like hay bales have been reported. A few rest tents have popped up too.
Note: Gift boxes can only hold 30 gifts. If your box is full of free gifts from your friends (animals and trees) then it may not be able to hold the achievement surprises.
Poll: Farm Ville Expansion Controversy
Vote on what you think!
Currently, farmers have to add friends to be able to expand their farm. If farmers are required to add even more friends to expand their farms again, then some farmers (facebook users) will be stuck with a small farm or be forced to invite strangers to their facebook account for the purpose of being Farm Ville neighbors.
What do you think?
Several other solutions have been suggested:
1. Buy "neighbor credits" via a regular credit card. Thus, expanding your farm without having to add real neighbors.
2. Require farmers to have certain things on their farm before they can build. For example, they might have to have a barn to get to a certain expansion level or a silo to get to another expansion level.
FarmVille Expansion Requirements
Make Money in Farm Ville
Log on daily to get your coins from the Daily Raffle.Harvest crops.
What is Farm Cash
Coins can be earned in the game or purchased with your real-life credit card.Farm Cash can only be purchased with your real-life credit card. You can also purcahse extra Farm Coins with your credit card as well.
There is some controversy here because Zynga is charging players real money to use some aspects of the game. While this is a new feature for most Farm Ville players, this is not new or controversial in other Zynga game platforms such as Mafia Wars. Personally, I will probably continue to use the free portions of the game as the fee products don't really excite me that much.
How about you? Are you bothered by this development? Leave your thoughts in the comment box below.
What Do Animals Do in Farm Ville?
Effective July 10, 2009. You can do more than just sell animals in Farm Ville.
Fun fact:
The Town of Farmville is located in Virginia and was established in 1798.
Farm Ville Crop Harvest Profit Margins
Cost: includes a 15 coin cost to plow the land before planting.
Farm Ville Tree Harvest Profit Margins
Farm Ville Dead Crops
** Updated - New Crop Withering Times **
There is a 50% cushion time during which your crops will start to wither.
Crops wither randomly, not in the order that you planted them.
Example:
Blueberries take 4 hours to fully bloom.
Blueberries will start to wither 4 hours after full bloom.
Blueberries will keep withering, bit by bit, for the next 2 hours (2 is 50% of 4).
As you can see from the chart above (see Harvest Profit Margins), blueberries can be very profitable... that is, IF you can harvest and replant them every 4 hours. Unfortunately, they also die quickly and can be a profit buster if you can't get to your computer to check on them.
Plant crops that you don't have to babysit as much if you cannot get to the computer every 4 hours or so.
Farm Ville Experience Points
1. Help other neighbors in their gardens.
2. Plow, or buy, buy, buy (trees, animals, buildings, or decorations).
Plow the field = +1xp

FarmVille Free Gifts
You may send free gifts to each friend every four hours. That is, if you send Farmer Gale a free gift at 8:30, then you will have to wait 4 hours to send Farmer Gail another free gift. You can only send 16 free gifts each day. Visiting Neighbors in Farm Ville
You earn coins and experience points by visiting your neighbors each day. Although, the first 20 neighbors that you visit in a day are more valuable than the others.

FarmVille Fan Appreciation Event
August 22-23 FarmVille offered super berries.
Some time ago, FarmVille promised a Fan Appreciation event when they reached 500,000 followers on the Official FarmVille Fan Page .
On August 21, they reached that goal. Currently, they are offering Super Berries at the market. They harvest quickly and make lots of coins. Hurry to your farm to plant and harvest your Super Berries... these berries won't be available for long.
