Farm Town Farmers are noticing that SlashKey has added a few of the most frequently requested improvements to help make life on the farm a little easier. Among the most notably and conspicuous was the upgraded plow tool.
In the last major upgrade, SlashKey added the ability for farmers to hire fellow farmers (employees) to plow their fields for them rather than have to do it themselves. Since then we have learned that a farmer must have 10 neighbors (facebook friends) on our My Neighbours list to unlock this feature.
New Multi-Plot Plow Tool
The last release has been a big hit and provoked many Farm Town farmers to seeking out new facebook friends in order to add enough neighbors to unlock the “Hire to Plow” feature. I think having others plow for you and being able to plow for your neighbors was a great idea because it sparked more community into the game. I was also of the opinion that the ability to hire others to plow for us would reduce or possibly eliminate the call for a tool that would allow one to plow multiple plots or fields with a single click.
The idea for a multi-plot plow tool has been suggested by many visitors to the SlashKey/Farm Town forums since well before I started my farm. However, I have seen much less talk about such a tool this since the last upgrade. Nevertheless, SlashKey has delivered this feature to the delight of many of the neighbors with which I visited this evening after discovering it in my tools menu.

I like this feature, but not sure if it’s as important now since we can hire people to plow. Can see it as a benefit when you remodel your farm.
