Crop Mastery

Part of what makes Farmville such an addictive game is how you can plant and grow so many different types of crops. In addition to getting gold and experience bonuses when doing so, for some crops you can work towards a mastery for it. Mastering a crop gives additional bonuses when harvesting, usually in the form of bonus experience depending on the crop. Reaching the third level of crop mastery (or "Mastering" the crop) also yields more bushels when harvesting, this is turn will allow the player to produce more goods from their crafting cottage, or sell them to neighbors for Fuel, Gold or Experience bonuses.

Along with getting experience bonuses and extra bushels completing a crop gifts the player with a Mastery Sign they can proudly display on their Farm. Here is the Mastery Sign for Forget-Me-Nots as an example;


Below is a table of all the permanent crops available in Farmville and the associated amount of plantings required to master the seed.

Zynga routinely makes changes to the requirements for crop mastery, as the crops are updated and changed this table will be updated as well.

Occasionally one of those changes will result in a farmer having more than enough crops but still not earned the mastery or the mastery sign for the seed. This happens when the total required to master is lowered, and the player already has more than enough, such as 1780/1500. If this happens simply plant and harvest one plot and when you harvest you will earn the mastery for the crop.

From time to time limited edition crops will be master-able, when this happens look for a special section of the above table to reflect them, along with the time frame of availability.
