WHAT CAN I GET? (if I trade this item?)

WHAT USERS WANT? (who have this item)

Description

You own a plot of good farmland. Do you want a small family farm or an agricultural profit center? Do you want to produce food for the local town or feed the world's hungry masses? Do you use the latest chemical fertilizers and pesticides or run an organic farm? It's up to you. Plow your fields, sow your seeds, harvest your crops, and sell them at market. Easy? Sure, except for soil depletion, crop rotation, changing markets, and diminishing farmland--not to mention pests, droughts, dust storms, and other hazards.

easy/addictive

very, very addictive, kind of reminds me of jezzball and fishy from ebaumsworld. i would say that a twenty dollar game that you can easily spend several hours playing is a good investment.
 

farmer at heart

Patience and more patience is what it takes to see the success of crop rotation, growth, production, harvesting, marketing, and selling, but on Sim Farm you can accelerate your crops and make a boom market or a C grade wash out. This interactive game lets you design, build, and produce marketable goods in a rustic acre. Not only are there over 20 crops to select, but also quite a number of livestock. The fun is that you learn what you need to grow a bumper crop- weather, chemicals, land, machinery, and labor. If you make the right combinations then you can pay your bills, loans, and buy more acres to design a bigger farm. The fun is in how hard you work to create a dream farm. Though I have never lived in the country or on a farm, this is exactly the hard work that must be done in real life to make things happen. Its fun for children in that it helps them learn about plants, earth, livestock, capital gains, loans, and machinery. For older folks its just fun to make a fortune building and amassing a nice farm and organizing it. Like all the other Sims games the reward or prize is just making up different scenarios and increasing your knowledge of how to make thing work. It can be extremely addicting but its incredibly fun.
 

Good Game

Good game, nice way to kill an evening. Tip: plant oranges, they only need to be planted once, and after a couple years they don't normaly need sprayed. If you use the cropduster, the end key makes it land.
 

Kiwi perspective

Yes sheep really ARE that stupid! not a bad game in its day, Having grown up on a farm i can relate to it better as well, very addictive game like the other sims & dont give up on the crop duster it is easy when you know how to land it! (with a bit of trial & error I might add!)
 

I reckon this here game's only for hillbillies

phh, what an insult to PC gaming.... the only people who would enjoy something like THIS are hicks out in the sticks of Montana or South Dakota

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE graphics(I know the game was made in the early 90s,, but there were games out then that had better graphics than THIS!), and well, the animals claim that they "cant reach the food" when it's right next to them! and then eventually they break out of their pen and eat your crops, or just wander off till they die...

also, the spray plane is 6 thousand bucks,,, and you can't even land it.... and it keeps saying that your crops need to be sprayed cause of bugs and then when you spray them they get toxicated... yep.... ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....

like I said, only buy this game if you live in the following states: North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Alabamba, or West Virginia
