These people are very annoying! Constantly offering to buy my products at a much lower price than I can
get by selling them in my roadside shop. I keep telling them no but they just come back.
How do I turn them off? I just want to make them go away.
And why do some farms have an older couple hanging around?
The older couple are the helpers! You can get them from level 33 and they help you with animals/feed and dairy/sugar.
The farm visitors cannot be turned off. You can send them away or ignore them or...Quote:

they will usually ask for half of whatever you have the most of or second most of in your barn or silo
They ask for what you have most (top 3) in silo and barn or what you have none of. (There is a few things they don't ask for like freshly mined ore). There is an achievement to be done by selling stuff to them.
they are useful if you do a derby task for example strawberries and have so many of them they are in your top three items in your silo as they will eventually ask for strawberries (might take a few goes of turning away but not many). Or useful if you are wheating to get tools and need to get rid of a lot of wheat quick. Or you can hold them hostage and just ignore them
I finally picked two super beggars (driveway people) that unless I’m doing a little people event, I just leave the same two standing there forever. I have Mike and Greg on permanent retainer. I will rotate them out if I know a double coin event is coming and have them both ask for something like bouquets or peaches. Something I will get a few extra coins from. You can use them to your advantage or just pick the least annoying ones to stay standing there. Don’t however leave one asking for saws or axes just in case you tap them on accident.

Good point. Get it done early. I struggled with that one as well. Big Game Fisher III and Helter Smelter III were worse. Especially fishing because I detest it.Quote:

I don't even see them anymore, I choose to ignore them so much I have just become blind to them.
Driveway people? Heck no...they are robbers! Get your achievement done early and then ignore them until they become invisible to you!
Once the achievement is done either try and ignore them or do as Besata suggested. I never sell to them and don’t usually do the double coin event with them as I don’t need coin. I usually leave two hanging around or ignore them.
