How long is a day in Farmville?

The title of this post may confuse some people. "A day is 24 hours right?" Yes and no. Knowing the intricacies of this can help you in decideing what you want to plant and more importantly when.

In Farmville crops, animals and trees are harvested according to a schedule. Some things take 1 day, some 2 days and a few things only hours. So you would expect a 1 day crop to be ready in 24 hours. Unfortunately that is not the case.

In Farmville, a day is 23 hours long. That means that a one day crop will only take 23 hours to become ready. A two day crop will not take 48 hours, it will take 46.

While the day plus crops are straight forward, the ones that take less than one day can be a little bit tricky. Up to about 8 hours, the crops are straight forward. Strawberries will be ready four hours after you plant them. Over 8 hours though and the times are slightly off. A 10 hour crop will become ready in roughly 9 and a half hours, while a 16 hour crop will come ready around 15 hours in.

So keep in mind the longer the crop takes to reach harvest, the more time you can take off.
