Farming with Morning Glory

Matt Blank — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 15:15:26 +0000

Farmville updated to add the new Morning Glory flower today. I have updated the Farmville Profit spreadsheet in Google Docs and have created a new profit chart to include the Morning Glory. Looks like Peas still reign supreme!

FarmVille Profit Sheet

Matt Blank — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:10:54 +0000

Being a FarmVille nerd that I am, I wanted to collect the data from the FarmVille market and put it into a spreadsheet so that I could analyze the best profit. This sheet is available here (Google Docs) should you like to manipulate it yourself. I am still missing the info on Broccoli, so if anyone has it I would love to update the sheet. The rest is below the fold:

Update: I've updated the chart and spreadsheet with new stuff in a new blog post.

From looking at the raw numbers, it appears that Blueberry has the highest profit per hour ratio. However, I need more time between harvesting since I am usually at work or away from my computer and can't constantly be farming! So it looks like I will be sticking with Tomatoes for a while.

Update: Thanks for the comments on my mistakes folks ... I updated the spreadsheet with those changes. That puts raspberry way up there at $13/hr. They probably do that on purpose so that you're checking back into the app every 2 hours. For those with the dedication, raspberries can pay off! I also added the Trees and Animals to the chart. You can use the profit per hour column to see how many harvests it takes to recoup the cost of purchasing them. Now receiving them for free as a gift is one thing, but buying them means it will take anywhere from 4 to 16 harvests to earn enough back from purchasing them.

I've also made up this handy little chart with the info. I'll update it as I get more info.

Update: I've replaced the chart with a new version that includes the new veggies.
