Farmville Trick - Box Me In

Move your farmer to an open area of the farm.
Place four objects around the farmer so that he/she is boxed in. Hay bales work great for this.
Now go click on items to harvest them, plow. or plant.
You will see the action complete without having to wait for the farmer to walk to the spot.

Here you can see I have boxed in the farmer. Hay bales work well because you can set up an area of hay bales with a nook for the farmer to stand in. You just click on that spo and the farmer will move there. Now all you need to do is move one hay bale in front of him an voila, he is boxed in. Now you can harvest crops, trees and animals without the farmer getting in the way or slowing you down.

Box in Your Crops

Another version of this trick is to box in your crops. If there is no path to get to the crops you do not have to wait for the farmer to walt to them to harvest them, I have dome this with trees, crops, and animals. It really speeds things up.

Here you can see that I have boxed in my chickens. Not only does it allow you to harvest them faster, it also eliminates another problem I was having. When the farmer would move to harvest the chickens, he would get in the way of clicking on the other chickens. The eliminates that problem as well.

***** Best Version of Box Me In *****
