I started playing farmtown and farmville about two weeks ago, then i find myself lately calcutating the time alloted for the seeds to grow that when they turn out ready for harvest ,im making sure I am not at work or rather im free...so the crops won't end up withered.. I did not grow up on a farm or country set up ,and as now I'm just using my mouse clicking up to plow , plant and harvest , I wonder... Is real farming really this easy?

In a word NO... farmers have a lot more to consider than simple timing...
*Weather - is there enough rain, enough sun, enough warmth
*Soil conditions - what will grow here? some plants prefer certain types of soil
*Labour - they don't have friends to pop over and sort things out
*Pests - insects and other pests eat crops!
Just a few to be getting on with...
