What is your experience?
I do wheat here and there but you can only do this for a few rounds then your silo will fill up. Obviously, 2 minute grow and 5 minute DD ad.
Usually, wheat sells even at full price but it just grows too fast. You can get lucky if a visitor buys a bunch.
I tried corning because I thought at 5 minutes, it will match the ad. However, they don't sell fast. If someone happens to buy the slot with the ad, then silo will fill up fast.
I now do mostly soybeaning. At 20 minutes, this works out well because that is about the frequency I log into the game when I am not busy. Soybeans sells fast at full price. In addition, this is a good way to build wealth .

Depends on why you harvest crops. For me it’s the drops. 3 drops every 2 minutes.
One of my feeders makes hay bundles nonstop. The other the food I need during the day. And the bakery is making 🍞 nonstop.
Wheat sells fast at default price. And the visitors buy it almost always if it’s the number 1 or 2 crop in your silo.
For me the corn and soy aren’t worth the work with regard to drops. The surplus drops I trade or sell at max price.
Besides all the above things the drops I get from wheating give me enough mining tools to get the daily amount of diamonds from the mine.
Hope the above is clear. 😉👍

I grow soybeans since it matches my attention span and it sells fast. Wheat demands too much constant attention.
I only do wheating when I fill my mills up at night to make sanctuary feed.

I rely on the farm visitors to buy my wheat. I often will keep them waiting for a while until my silo is full at 8550. That seems to help keep a stream of farm visitors asking for large quantities of wheat. I also keep all other crops below 200, unless I’ve taken a crop derby task or am dealing with a farm pass goal that makes me grow more onions or something. 😂 The only time this doesn’t work is when the farm visitors ask for decos, which really disrupts the game for me. |

What about carrots, sugarcane or oats?
How do they fair?
Have to admit that unless it's for a specific task I don't normally bother growing extra crops 😅
But I'm sure I read (a looooong while back) that carrots where a good one for [Speed:Price:Ease of selling] ratio
And now oats are in the picture with a similarly short grow time

Oats isn’t. I will stick with wheat unless we get a crop that grows even faster. All for the drops. 😉 and again, ask yourself what the reason is for growing crops. Making products, profit? For me it’s just drops and liked mentioned by blackbrit, the deco buying visitors are a P in the A. That 10 day event we had sometime ago almost killed my joy in playing Hayday. 🤔😂 |

Sometimes long lasting over night (for selling and getting money). Or sometimes for a derby task. But wheating over a long time can be very boring. Would be curious how long you wheat every day to get so much drops - especially much enough for the mine? |

I really only grow extra for farm pass or derby tasks. |

I tried wheating again today and like always, I ended up with over a thousand wheat with silo full.
The visitors asking for wheat are few and far between. Basically, I need to wait and wait until I can post another ad to clear my wheat inventory.

Basically, I need to wait and wait until I can post another ad to clear my wheat inventory. I’ll share that for whatever reason in the algorithm for the game, I nearly always have one farm visitor waiting and asking for wheat. But I do keep other crops low (under 200 usually) and keep wheat high - generally well over a 1000. I have had these results since having a tiny silo - using whatever the numbers would have been with the smaller silo. I only wheat when I am doing other tasks, so it’s not tedious for me. Only 50 plots are usually devoted to wheat. The other 150 plots grow the other crops I need. |
