I usually do it on the way back from Fishing or Mining or Leah.Ħa. You'll get used to the arc of thinning/clearance and only need to do it on occasion (Lazy™). After a few days as the grass gets to its densest, start scything away just to thin it out, not clear it. Fence your animals away from the grass for a while until it grows mostly confluent, use last year's Hay to feed them or visit Marnie for various reasons as well as Hay. On or soon after Spring 1, plant those starters spaced out nicely wherever there isn't volunteer grass (see Step 0).ĥ. I use 20 or so, you could use 50 on the original farm if you want Quick Results.Ĥ. Buy or make grass starter on Spring 1 or as early as possible. Start with 1 Silo, but upgrade to 2 and then 3 as they fill (to cover 1 full Barn and 1 full Coop)ģ.

Leave half your farmland empty (ahh, the Lazy™ secret)Ģ. I just saved you 10M gold, you can thank me now.ġ. Sounds too good to be true? Well, you may be ri- No! No, it's really easy:Ġ. What's Lazy Hay™, you say? Why, Lazy Hay™ is the perfect solution to all* your animal husbandry problems, so you can get going with your vegetable or boyfriend husbandry, assuming you can spot any differences between the two. Step right up, Ma'am! You're the exact person for whom we created: Even at regular quality, and even without value boosts from professions, all animal products, once turned into artisan goods, are worth a lot more than the cost of buying hay. It's much the same with barn animals too. Even if you are unlucky and get duck feathers, they are still worth enough to cover your hay costs With ducks it's even easier a single duck mayo will buy enough hay for the first week of Winter, and the rest of the first week's duck mayo will buy enough hay for the rest of Winter. Large eggs making gold mayo make hay even more affordable. Then, by the time it gets to Wednesday Winter 3, and Marnie is open again, you have made and sold three more mayo and now have enough money to buy hay for that chicken for two weeks or more sell a few more mayo after that, and on your third trip, you'll have enough money for hay for the whole winter. One single mayo will buy enough hay to feed a chicken for several days, so if you get to Fall 27 and you have no hay, sell that one mayo, and on Sunday Fall 28 you buy hay for a few days. Just plan ahead and make time in your schedule for two or three trips to Marnie.
