Greetings! We very much enjoyed spending another Monday evening among friends with whom we might never have met if not for this remarkable game and their willingness to support community outside the isometric arena of Farm Town.
The primary focus of this episode was to discuss the most recent update which roundly delivered new levels, crops, items and features. It was a very nice evening spent talking over these topics with friends, but ended quite somberly as I had to announce that there will be no more new episodes of Farm Town Weekly being recorded on Monday evenings.
We did intend to deliver a fourth season however due to circumstances and events unseen in our forecast, we will be unable to do so at least not at the present time. Please listen for more details and thank you all so very much for your support over the last 12 months.

On this episode we discuss fishing, facilities, and making a “Help Wanted” post to your wall asking neighbors to come and harvest/plow at your farm. We also talked about desired upgrades to current features and a few new ideas. Was a lot of fun and a great crowd in our live chat.
Another topic we discussed is a fun thread in the official Farm Town discussion forum called Sniff, Sniff, Boo, Hoo. This thread is a multi-contributor saga started by Ms Penny about the goings-on at her “seedy” little Trailer Park (Farm 2) and Bubba’s Prison (Farm 3). We featured screen shots of these farms on our Facebook Fan Page and the story line now includes Jets Cousin, Cletus Hill who is currently sitting on Death Row at Bubba’s Prison. There is really only one way to get up to speed on the Trailer Park Players and that’s to start at the beginning and read to the current post. It is a lot of reading but what else do you have to do while you’re waiting for wheat?

Tonight, Mountain Mamma, Ms. Kelly and I enjoyed having our friend David (Farm Town Data Sheet) on the show with us once again along with our Ol Friend Colby. The five of us talked at length about a range of Farm Town topics.
For those interested in following us for another season, we have yet to make a final decision but promise to make that announcement on the next episode. Thank you for your patience!
Following an hour of Farm Town discussion, we talked for a while about the website, People of Walmart. The commentary about this popular website was partly just for fun and partly for thought.

This is the last episode of 2009 and Oh Boy did we have technical issues at TalkShoe. Thanks to all of you that stuck with us and seen the show to the end. I do want to mention that on this episode we welcomed April Hinkle, Bill Hamilton, and Roger Haffner to a chair on our honorary Farm Town Weekly Board of Directors and congratulate them each here once again.
We also talked about the “Farm Town Classifieds – Help Wanted Ad” post that can be made from our website and asked folks to give it a try this week. A brief discussion about the current poll on our website and if there is still a need for a “Fire” button. In addition, an array of Facebook topics was discussed from privacy changes to pending changes to profile layouts. Fan pages versus application profile pages and how to disconnect from a group. In spite of the technical troubles with TalkShoe, it was certainly a great evening thanks to having neighbors on with us to share in the conversation.

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.
