Perhaps the game needs to become more realistic. This would provide a natural break in production schedules for everyone. So, developers, here are some suggestions from a fan who lives in the heart of the farm belt in the US of A.

* Early frost. Frost strikes, killing all your plantings at a random interval on any one farm.

* Locusts. A plague of insects strike, devouring corn, wheat and rice. Can't replant until you spray with insecticide, which costs 50 Farm Cash.

* Foreclosure. The bank calls in your loans and repossesses all your equipment. You have to buy them again.

* Drought. All your flowers die. You can buy the Irrigation System for $85 Farm Cash to prevent this happening.

* Oil spill. All sea life in your sea coasts, small and large, die. Your oil refinery is stripped of all production. The Mayor fines you $200 Farm Cash or 1,000,000 coins reparations.

* Emerald Ash Borer infestation. One of every trees is devoured by bugs and must be replanted. Or you can spray them for $40 FC.

*Whiney farm neighbor plague. If you have a coffee shop, you may be plagued with this one. Hoards of whiney fellows in seed corn caps descend on your farm and flood your chat window with complaints. You cannot hire anyone to work, because who wants to listen to that??? You can't pay enough to prevent this, you just have to suffer.

* Salmonella: All your hen eggs are taken away by the mayor because they are contaminated. Too bad.

* Health Inspector: Your Taco Restaurant, Sandwich Shop and Food Preserving Facility are shut down because of health code violations. You can prevent by paying the Health Inspector 20,000 coins a month "protection" money/bribe (I was born in Chicago...;-)

So these are a few ideas to make the game even more realistic! Anyone have additional suggestions????

(Big grin here)
