Dream Farm Award!

I have a bunch of green tabs... So I thought I'd try to boost my XP by buying a bunch of large ponds for 3 green tabs.
Each large pond gave me 100
Xps. On top of that, it counted as 2,500 coins toward your dream farm reward.
I received about 1650 xps for my dream farm III reward as well as 3 diamonds.

For me with all my green tabs, I felt it was a good way to boost my XP!

Refresh Hay Day Newspaper

When I go through the Hay Day newspaper, I tend to wish there was some way to refresh or recycle it faster than 3-4 minutes.
A thought struck me to turn off my iPhone, and turn it back on. When I reopen Hay Day, it connects and reloads. And I hit the newspaper, and voila, it's changed to a new set of sales.
I have an iPhone 5, 32gb. So this happens pretty quickly for me. And I also don't have a lock code on my phone - so I just slide the bar to access my iphone.
I tried this on my son's iPad as well, and that big newspaper that iPad users get also refreshes and changes up.
This may be old news to some of you, but it's new to me!
Not sure how this method works for iPhone 4 users though.
My brother on the other hand, who still uses an iPhone 3 for Hay-Daying, prob won't be doing this method, because it will take for-EVER, and a day.
But just to let you know, even when you refresh and change up the newspaper, the next bunch of sales aren't much better than previous of its during the bacon/egg sale or just veggie sales.
But make sure you re-connect and re-load for the newspaper to re-fresh.
Practice this and you can refresh pretty quickly.
However, this does require some awkward maneuvering - my right upper arm is now kind of sore after 5 minutes of refreshing a newspaper selling nothing but bacon and eggs.

"Help boat!" Oh just kidding

This happens a lot where your friends say "help boat!" So you check out the boat. Sometimes it's not there :-)
But sometimes crates are partially open for you to fill. For instance, see pic below - I don't have ice cream at the moment but I've got some cheeses.
I know everyone wants their XPs. I want mine too. Keep in mind that you get XP and a tab for shipping off a filled boat.
My feeling is that if you don't leave boats open for your friends to help fill, then they won't come back and help fill your boat at all.
So try to leave your crates open to everyone - this helps ensure your boat will get filled completely.
I know this point is arguable - but I'm more inclined to help someone with all-open crates than folks that hold back.
Just my opinion on this matter.
"Help fill boat!!" And I'd say "I can't!!" It's not open for me to help!"
FYI - my brother does this - leaves a few crates open for everyone.

Boat Orders - price/xp list

And here I go again with another chart!
I wanted to see how much more xp you receive on a boat, versus the regular xp.
And according to the chart I devised, you receive about half the money per item, and your xp per item is multiplied by 4x! So basically, you take a price cut for the xp.
But who has 10 sugars right?! Yeah those orders suck, as well as jam orders.
And I'm inclined to ignore those boat orders, and hope that my friends can help out with the order, because I love receiving tabs! Although, I have way too many green and blue tabs and not enough pink and orange ones!


Happy Hay-Daying my friends!

Produce/Crop Price List

Trying to gather more info to finish this list - i.e. XPs, number of fruits per tree/bush, etc...

Bear with me!
Hit the headings to re-sort the list.


By the way, I believe for trees and bushes, you first receive 2 fruits, then 3, then 4 - tree or bush shrivels for need of water; friend revives it - and you get 4 more ---- totaling 13 fruits per tree/bush.
