In order to keep your businesses and franchises running constantly you are going to need a steady supply of goods. This requires you to have an efficient and large scale farm running at all times full of crops.
The best way to maximize your production of goods from farming is by staggering your crops.
This is a simple yet very effective method for farming like a pro.
- Designate a large portion of land to farming and keep it all together. Do not have "mini farms" spread out all over your city.
- During the morning plant a row of watermelon (4hour crops), about 5 per row (but can be as many as you want)
- Plant a row of carrots (8 hour crop), the same number you planted for the watermelon
- Plant a row of pumpkins (18 hour crop), the same number you planted for both
- Continue with planting crops with longer growing periods until you reach peas which take 3.1 days.
- When the watermelon are ready, harvest them and repeat the same number of potatoes in the same space
- Do this for all your other crops when they are ready. Just harvest and replant in the same place.
You do not have to start with watermelons or end with peas. This is just an example. If you only have strawberries, carrots and corn unlocked you can still use the staggering method. As you unlock new more profitable crops just add them in. This can be done by simply adding more farm plots as you will be needing to increase your farm size as the game progresses anyways.
