	When you come to FarmVille for the first time you find yourself standing in the middle of your farm. There are six plots, two of which are ready to harvest. You harvest crops by clicking on them. When you harvest crops you receive farmville coins. After you harvest the crops you need to plow the plots and plant new seeds. You select the plow tool and click the plot square to plow it. You can also plow new (green) squares to make them plantable. Once you have some squares plowed you need to plant your seeds.

	It is important that you understand how crops work in farmville before planting. Some crops take longer to become ready to harvest than others. Some are ready in hours while others can take up to 4 days to ripen. That is four real days. I made the mistake of planting all wheat as my first crop and could not do much for three days. What I should have planted were strawberries which are ready in 4 hours. To learn more about crops in farmville check out our crops page

	Since you need to use coins to pay for plowing and seeds, it will take a while to develop a productive farm. Just keep plowing squares and planting seeds as often as possible. Most of you farm should be for crops so make sure you lay it out with plots close together.

	As you move up in levels in farmville, you unlock certain items like seeds, trees, animals.You are able to plant more types of crops and trees. Some of these new crops will give you more coins when you harvest them.

As you progress you can add animals, buildings, trees, fences, and decorations. Here is an example of a well laid out farm that maximizes the use of the land. You will notice that trees and animals are on the far side so they are not in the way of harvesting crops.
