wheating

I'm wonder why do people buy so much wheat? I try to wheat when i am free to get expansion items and place all the wheat in bundle of 10 @ 1 coin each. And it clean fast. Sometime i wonder,why do ppl buy so much wheat..? 100++ wheat clean up by one person..?Is there any use other than maybe make into feeds and fill boat order. If it is to make into sheep feed and that require 3 wheat per bundle of 3. If you use all 2 feed mill (9*2 feed slot), u only need 18x3=54 wheat.. And that is to the extreme...u only can have 15sheep at a time...

A lot of people turn it into Chicken Feed and sell it that way. If you find 10 for one coin wheat, it is pretty profitable and sells really well at max price.

I rarely grow my own wheat. I can grow crops that are more difficult to find on my limited plots instead, and buy wheat in the DD.

Yes, sometimes I buy 100 wheat. You use a surprising amount of wheat, making feed and products like bread, pizza, muffins, pies and cakes.

Not only that...the little people will pay approximately three times as much for the wheat as you paid (if you paid 10 coins for 10 - if you paid 1 coin for 10, the profit is even greater). So it can be quite profitable, if you have the silo space. Back when I needed coins, I would buy as much cheap wheat as my silo would hold.

Hmm, maybe i should start making feed too LOL... Btw, Janilee, i have you as my friend if u notice? level 36, farm name is 'lems please'

same reason everything else is sold eventually

rich people being lazy
and there's a lot of people playing that might for some reason really badly need wheat

On behalf of all the wheaters I thank you and your fellow lazy farmers!!!;)

But seriously, it's so easy to run out of wheat, and if you only pop into your farm to quickly fill your machines your land is far better utilised growing longer cropping items.

I don't think it's necessarily laziness - I accidentally ran myself down to 1 wheat last night and I don't have enough playing time to sit there for repeated 2 minute bouts planting, harvesting, re-planting and re-harvesting. And 1 or 10 coins is nothing - when you've got people on "how much money have you got?" threads talking in millions and hundreds of thousands, really what's a bit of wheat to save you hassle? I've got 80,000 coins and I thought nothiong of spending 20 to speed up my recharging of wheat stocks - it's common sense.

I constantly sell wheat 10 for 10 - it's much less time consuming to hit the wheat symbol and hit 'sell'. Sometimes players wipe out all 16 slots! - good luck to them if they want to sell it on... - my barn is at 875 capacity now, the magic target of 1000 gets closer...

i have 150+ slots selling wheat 10 for 10 gold and they all sell out in 15-30 mins. mostly i can't keep up with the production... key is to put adds at random places not at the start/end.

I don't consider myself rich (378,??? With 4 more machines to buy) or lazy.:rolleyes:
I wheat to help lower level neighbors/players and to get expansion items. I am aiming for 1000+ storage on my barn and silo, 750/625. I try to sell my wheat at 10/1coin but it doesn't always happen. Happy Farming.

In addition to other peoples replies...Boat Orders!

Lower level players may not have as many farm plots to plant as much wheat or their farm plots may be tied up with other things waiting to be harvested. So, they buy it.

I don't mind, because wheat and plant corn all day for the expansions. Not going to complain when someone just buys all of the wheat in my RSS.

Yep, boat orders. Last boat order asking for wheat required 92 per crate (3 crates).

I actually wheated today. It was interesting. I was surprised people bought my wheat, but what ya gonna do? I soybean, and I suppose that's not much better though I do tend to sell off a lot of other cool stuff with the soy beans.

I didn't care for it much, it's not my style, but it does seem to work well. I sold at 10 for 1 and they went fast. I just felt like it's not my audience, whoever that may be and it seemed like a cheap trick, maybe pun intended. I may do one or two slots here and there, but I don't think it's for me, dunno.

I like wheating, but I don't always put all the wheat up in my RSS. I wait for the little visitors to come and buy it. If I do put it up in my shop, I sell it 10 for 1c, but I don't fill all my bins with wheat.

Wheating is a bizarre form of therepy for me... If I can't sleep, I'll do 20 min or so of it--just sorta lulls me into a happy sleepy place--is that weird ? Lol
