Really a suggestion for community help.
When requesting help from other farmers to fill boat boxes, truck or town visitor requests - you you put an advert in the daily dirt.
Do think about the item you are putting in the paper with the advert on it. Often you see the advert on a special item where the seller thinks there will be a big demand for the item - and they are right, there is a big demand and the item will be bought immediately - but the help us unlikely to be seen.
You need to advertise using something that people don't often want to buy, so the advert stays in the daily dirt as long as possible and more visitors look at whatever you want help with.

I put in wheat, and the more difficult boxes I fill myselves. Useally my hoofd members or HD friends will fill the crates.

When I need help, I place an ad for a rustic bouquet.

Yep, I usually do rustic bouquets too, or sometimes chili popcorn.

My 3 go to items for ads would be plain popcorn, fresh pasta & rice noodles.

I have found that I get the fastest help when I put up an item in the paper that is at (or above) what I'm asking for help with. For example, if I need help with mint ice cream crates on a boat, I'll advertise something at (or above) level 85.
This usually works well for me, but I always have a hard time getting peeps to help with fresh pasta for some reason!

2) Maybe a lot of people don’t stock it? |

I always buy 10 rustic bouquet from some farm in the paper and put it up for sale. It lasts a long time, but usually my hood mates are quick to help.
And I mark the crates for help BEFORE I mark the bouquets for sale so that the ad is flagged for help.

Pasta: I don’t know about the other higher level players but my farm is always wanting for pasta. Eggs are for some reason scarce in the DD these days and all the pasta dishes use loads. I try to keep 60 pasta and 60 rice thingys in the barn…doesn’t always work. 🤷♀️ |

Eggs in the DD are either feast or famine. If I am not looking for them they are plentiful and if I am they are scarce🤣🤣 |

I try to avoid boat orders. But when it's necessary (derby, farmpass etc.) I try to fill them on my own. Like ducktown2021. Also I don't expect farmer filling crates which I wouldn't fill.
So it's indeed very rare before I'm asking for help. If I do so I put some stuff in my DD what is not demanded much, such as wheat and indigo. But usually I don't have to wait long before I'm helped.

Usually I put one wheat for 3 in the first basket and another in the last with the advert on. often the first is bought quickly, and the second (with the advert survives a little longer) survives a little longer, thogh for some reason the arabic players seem to by the one on the right first. I did ask on the old forum if that was because arabic is a language that is read right to left (as opposed to latin languages that are read left to right) the the RSS shop opened at the right end for them and left for us - never got an answer on that one. I guess i'll have to do a list of products and levels to ensure I advertise a using a level 60 (or above) product for a boat box needing a level 60 product.
