JR's INDIVIDUAL FARMVILLE REPORT (Part 1)
FARMVILLE: SEEDS
In FarmVille, seeds are be used to plant crops. Growing crops is a very good way of earning coins and experience, as they often give a large amount of coins when harvested and give experience when planted (as well as giving experience for plowing fallow land, which is required to plant a seed).

In order to grow anything, seeds must be purchased from the market. A farmer may only plant a seed on a plowed plot - any fallow land he wishes to plant in must be plowed.

There are many different kinds of seeds available. Each seed will cost a different amount of coins, will reward more coins when harvesting, will give a different amount of experience and will take a different amount of time to grow.

If not harvested in time crops will wither, thus needing to be dug up and replaced. See the wither article for complete details.

Crops can also be mastered, allowing farmers to earn coins, experience or other rewards for planting large numbers of crops over time.
