Every now and then, FarmVille introduces special seeds that generates high return.
Good news is they don't cost a lot to plant.
For example, Yellow Lentils that cost 20 coins to plant and sell for 80 coins - these guys take 4 hours to grow, which means a return of 15 coins/hour.
The return is better than some high yielding plants, such as Blueberries (10.
25 coins/ hour) or Tomato (9.
125 coins/hour) and are more affordable.
With a farm size of 16x16, you can spend 8,960 coins planting yellow lentils and earn 20,480 coins after 4 hours.
Doing this 4 times a day would earn you 80,000 coins a day: Number of plots = 16 x 16 = 256 Cost per plot = 20 (seed) + 15 (to plow) = 35 coins Total Cost = 256 x 35 = 8,960 coins Total Earnings = 256 x 80 = 20,480 coins If you just started FarmVille, these kind of cheap but high yielding plants are great to kick-start your mission in growing your coin stash.
Once you have accumulated sufficient money, proceed to expand your farm further and grow more expensive crops.
By doing so, you should be able to make the most out of your land, which means planting as many high earning crops as you want at one time, without having to worry about not having enough coins to buy seeds.
By the way, special items are usually available for limited time only and not all special items give such good returns as the yellow lentils, so be sure to pick out the good ones, take advantage of it and you will be well on your way to making some big money on FarmVille.
