Farmville For Beginners.

These are my top three tips for farmville. They will save you time and money.
The best item to plant first would be soybeans
When planting crops in your plot make sure to plant the same items at the same time. Soybeans will give you a profit of 63 coins per plot. The soybeans will take a day to harvest.
To get started at Farmville you will be given a plot of 6 squares to plant crops on. It is a good idea to only plant the same items on those squares so you don't forget when to come back to harvest those crops. If you have soybeans you know that in a day they will be ready to harvest. To purchase soybeans it will cost you 15 coins but you will get 63 coins in return when you sell. So that is a gain of 4 times of your initial investment.
share the wealth and bonuses with your neighbors
It will encourage your friends to send you bonuses. This is a act that doesn't cost you any coins. Also make sure to pay attention to your friends posts that will give you some bonus wealth.
When you're awarded a ribbon it is a good idea to post it on your page so your friends can see you received a ribbon. By doing this it will encourage your friends to share the wealth back when they get a ribbon. It is a win/win situation for you when you do this because it doesn't cost you any coins and it helps you in return. Pay attention to your friends post for when they get bonuses because then you can get some of their bonus also.

Lock your farmer into hay bales
By doing this it will speed up your play. Farmer will be isolated in the hay bales he won't move from item to item. It should be located in the center of the farm.
When you do this the play time will dramatically increase because you won't be waiting for your farmer to go from plot to plot. The cost of a full barrier is 800 coins and a partial is 400 coins. The farmer should always be located in the center of your farm and you should adjust the location as your farm gets bigger.
As you are starting out on Farmville some of these tips that I have highlighted for you will help you make progress on your farm. It is a easy way to increase your money in a short time, help you earn extra ribbons and be a time saver as you are harvesting your crops.
