Getting past the beginning levels in Farmville is not a huge challenge, but maybe you're past them now, and you seem to find yourself moving in slow motion. In other words, you're either not making any coins or not as many as you think you should.
When this happens, it's important to keep in mind the fact that the best crops to plant and harvest, in terms of their profit per hour, don't stay the same as you level up. During levels 1-4, the top crop is strawberries -- they earn 6.25 coins an hour. At level eight, raspberries become the top crop, earning 13 coins every hour.
Of course, this all depends on how much time you have available to play Farmville. If your time is limited, pumpkins are the best crop to plant, earning 4.75 coins per hour and taking eight hours to mature.
Another less time-demanding option opens up at level seven -- rice. Rice makes 4.25 coins an hour for 12 hours before it's ready for harvest, which means they take four more hours to mature and make 0.5 less coins an hour than pumpkins. That makes the two crops nearly equal, so the decision is really up to you.
If you have all the time in the world, stick to raspberries from levels 8-16. They mature extremely fast, being ready to harvest in two hours, and they yield 13 coins per hour, which is the highest amount of coins per hour for any crop at those levels.
When you hit level 17, you have the option of sticking with raspberries or going with blueberries instead. The advantage with blueberries is that they free up some of your time because you don't have to harvest them every two hours; blueberries take four hours instead, making 10.25 coins per hour.
If you'd like an idea of how many coins in profit you can make in a week from raspberries, 9,856 is a good figure, but also a huge underestimate. It's an underestimate because it assumes that you're planting in a very small field of only 16 plots.
Throughout your leveling process, make sure that you're constantly checking on the amount of coins different crops earn per hour. It's not always going to be the case that raspberries and blueberries will be the highest earners. TO easily figure out how many coins a crop makes per hour, just use the following formula:
(Sell Price - Cost) / Hours to Mature = Coins Per Hour
If you're using that formula to keep track of the highest earning crops as you level, making coins should never be an issue for you. Happy farming!
