Angry I have a pet peeve

Ok now I am no harvest snob by any means I know how hard it is to get someone to harvest a crop of raspberries (not that I do them myself)
Iv read/heard the complaints though
Ok here goes the pet peeve
You finally get someone to harvest for you, get halfway done harvesting for this farmer and they turn around and go hire multiple players to plow for them.
Ok now that just isnt fair play.
Did you ever stop to think MAYBE that harvester of said rb's would LOVE to be asked to plow? Just a thought....
And some wonder why theres harvest snobs...

Well it is their farm and they can hire whoever they want

Just cuz you harvest doesn't mean you should be asked to plow as well.

Hi BobbieV, I do agree with you on this as I have had it happen to me. It is very annoying, however there are a lot of people who think that the owner of the farm can do what ever they like. Whenever I hire from the M.P. I state what the crop is and + ploughing or no ploughing. What I would (and have done) is finish the harvesting job and then clicked ignore on the Farmer so I did not get caught by that Farmer again

Interesting I feel like its a little slap in the face since most will leave a farm the minute they see such a low yielding crop
I had sage crop one time 5 people left my farm one said they only did pineapples

I never leave a farm with a low yielding crop (unless booted), I really do not mind what I harvest as every little helps. Once 2 of us were hired to harvest and all there was were a couple trees and about 5 little plots, we both shared the small amount and thanked the farmer.

Not really, BobbieV.... it's all them.

Don't let it get you down... there's a lot of great farmers out there. Just remember to buddy up any time you find one whose philosophy is at least not opposite to yours.

I totally understand your frustration, Bobbie. Someone who was courteous would of hired you to plow also. I guess you just consider the source.

i really try to do the job that I accepted and to finish the job Points and coins are points and coins it doesn't matter what crop they came from. Doing small jobs for someone might lead to bigger jobs later you just never know. I enjoy being creative with my farm and have small fields sometimes some won't stay and that's their choice but I wish if they were going to do that, they would at least leave a note of thanks for the hire or say something . I like the Idea about using the ignore button for those who are rude or make game play no fun for others. !

no one is entitled to plow. and each farmer has their own choice who they want to hire to do so with out giving reason. relax and enjoy the game. i would harvest raspberries all day if i where hired to and not bat an eyelash if i wasnt hired to plow i just return to the market when i was finished with the job i was hired to do
