Seeds

Farmers make money and gain experience by planting seeds and selling their harvest. They can also store the harvests and use them at the Facilities to make Products. Seeds can only be planted on plowed fields and the farmer gains +2XP per a plot seeded. Once a crop reaches 100% growth, it can be harvested. Tools can be used to plant seeds faster. In Farm Town, the growing day is 20 hours long. Crops go bad approximately in twice the amount of time they take to grow. For example, an 1 day crop goes bad in approximately 40 hours after it is initially planted. All of the details pertaining to each seed crop (how long it takes to grow and how much money is to be made) are listed in the Seed Table.

This Table is sortable, but it seems to be a little buggy. You may need to click on the arrow a second time in order to properly sort all of the items in a column. Prior to sorting, the Seeds are listed in order of the growth time, which is then further sorted (in ascending order) by profit per a day using the "Hired Hands Harvest - Store" option.
