“I have not had any farming experience, would FarmSim suit me?”

Yes, FarmSim® is designed to allow a computer farmer access to basic farming information, through the Help Pages and with links to suitable Web Sites. The simulation also warns you of possible problems with cropping and animal husbandry that may develop in farming situations.

“Can I own more than one farm property?”

FarmSim® allows you to purchase up to three properties at one time, providing you have the finance to purchase them! In addition FarmSim® will ask that you employ a manager for more than 2 properties.

“What is an Act of God and how will it affect my farm properties?”

There are six Acts of God programmed into FarmSim®; drought, flood, storm damage, fire and pests and disease. These events will affect your farming business randomly, however the higher the expert level, the higher the random acts.
