Personalized Neighbor Visits

With the new neighbor help system in Farmville there are a few new ways to really help each other out. Under the new system when a player visits your farm they have the ability to fertilize crops, plow withered plots, and harvest trees and animals. When you harvest an animal or tree you are rewarded with the gold from doing so. (Don't fear your friend will still be able to harvest them when they return to their farm later)

Because you can harvest your friends animals one very good strategy to consider is setting up a mutually beneficial deal with as many friends as you can. Purchase five of any of the following animals, Belted Cow, Arawapa Goat, Saddleback Pig. These three animals are available in the market and have the highest per harvest reward of any single animal in the game.

Next convince as many friends as possible to purchase these animals and leave them out on their farms. When the animals are ready to harvest a visiting neighbor can harvest them and collect the reward. However, the owner of the farm should not harvest from them, instead harvesting from neighbors farms. This will keep the animals permanently harvest-able. In the case of the Belted Cow this means each visiting neighbor will be collecting 15,000 gold every visit to your farm.

While you will be collecting a huge reward from all the neighbors you get to agree to having 5 of the above animals on their farm. You will of course either need to simply not harvest your animals so that your neighbors can always collect from you, or try to work out a specific time to harvest them.

For 5 Belted Cows the reward is 15,000 gold (5 x 3,000 gold)
For 5 Arapawa Goats the reward is 6,000 gold (5 x 1,200 gold)
For 5 Saddleback Pigs the reward is 5,000 gold (5 x 1,000 gold)
