Thread: Comparing to real-life farming

Farmville is a joke compared to real farming. You can't just "click" on vegetables and get experience and money. The money is probably a tenth of what you really get....
I used to play this game, and I got to 1 million dollars in about a month... it's very unrealistic, but I have to admit, it IS addicting

A tenth of the money you get in real life? Or the other way around?

And, in real life, most farmers struggle to make ends meet and many live in poverty despite the free food from the garden.

You can't compare this game to real life farming.

True there. They can't even eat three times a day.

So many people just assume cause they have free food growing out of the ground, they must be doing well. But it takes so long to get that free food. In some places, that's the only option for meal time, but it's very time consuming and labor intensive. Sometimes, an entire family is out working just one plot of farm land to get anything to grow.

Would be nice if real life farming were so simple as in these online games where all you need do is click to plant a row of corn and then wait awhile and click to harvest.
