1. INTRODUCTION

=====

A friend of mine introduced this game to me. When they told me about it, 
I had to admit, I wasn't really interested. I just thought it was 'hard'. 
You had so many things to take care of everyday, animals, crops, getting 
a person to fall in love with you and marry you. It justsounded too much. 
One day, I was walking in a store and I saw this game and looked at it.At 
a glance, I thought that this was actually a pretty cool game. The graphics 
were pretty good on the GBA. So I bought and started to play. And you know 
what? I couldn't put it down! The game is really addicting. The music and 
graphics are cool and the gameplay is amazing! I have to say, Harvest Moon: 
Friends of Mineral Town, is one of the best games I've ever played!But enough 
of all this (you're probably bored out of your mind reading this aren't you?), 
so on with the guide!

This is a Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town (GBA) 'Crop Earnings Chart' 
Guide. In this guide, I have listed all the available crops in the game and 
their cost, sell price etc. I have included a summary in section 3 for those 
who don't understand it. There is also a section for frequently asked questions. 
Some of your questions may have already been answered there, so please check 
the FAQ section to see if your question is answered before you email me. I will
explain the chart in that section. If you feel that I have any missing/incorrect 
information or if you have any questions not answered in this guide, then email 
me andI will give you proper credit if applicable. I hope you find this guide 
helpful! =D

3. CROP EARNINGS CHART SUMMARY

=====

In this section, I will basically just explain what each section of the chart 
means. I have summarized each chart heading so you can all understancd it better. 
I will also include my opinions and any other notes about the chart will go in 
here as well.

=====

3.A. WHAT DOES THE CHART MEAN?

=====

The chart above basically shows you what season the crop is grown in, the cost 
of the seeds, how much one can be sold when you ship it, the price that a whole 
bag of seeds can ship for (Sell Price X 9), the profit from that, whether you 
can reharvest or not and the total profit. 

SEASON - This is basically self-explanatory, this shows you what season the crop
can be grown in.

CROP - Again, kinda self-explanatory, this is basically what crop it is.

COST OF SEEDS - Self-explanatory, basically the cost of the seeds when you buy 
them.

SELL PRICE - Basically how much each crop can be sold for. So for example, each 
turnip you ship is worth 60 G.

SELL PRICE X 9 - This may be somewhat confusing, but it is just the sell price 
of that crop times 9 since you plant the seeds on 9 plots of land. For example, 
when you plant turnip seeds,the seeds are scattered and planted on nine plots of 
land (3 by 3). Once the turnips are finally ready to be harvested, you get 9. If 
you shipped all 9 of them (meaning you didn't give any away, or used any of them
to cook), you will receive 540 G.

PROFIT - This is the SP X 9 minus the cost of seeds.

REHARVEST? - This tells you whether or not a crop can be reharvested. 

TOTAL PROFIT - The total profit you can get from the bag of seeds. This is more
for the crops that can be reharvested. The total profit is basically: 2 times 
the (Sell Price X 9) minus the cost of the bag of seeds.

=====

3.B. MY OPINIONS

=====

Here are my opinions on some of the best crops to grow each season.

SPRING - Cabbage
Let's face it, out of all the crops that are growable in Spring, cabbage is the 
crop that hasthe most overall profit. An important point is that cabbage is NOT 
a reharvestable crop. So you earn a sure profit of 1750 G(considering you shipped
them all and didn't use any for cooking/presents/threw them away etc.) each bag 
you plant. You should plant a lot of them in the Spring, and if you have a 
limited amount of space on your field, here's a tip:

Plant the cabbages on the FIRST day of Spring. Then, after you harvest them, 
plant them on the same spot the previous cabbages were. Make sure you plant the 
cabbages on the SAME DAY you harvested the previous ones! This is because the 
cabbages take approximately 15 days to grow completely. This way, you are able 
to plant 2 sets of cabbages, doubling your overall profit.

However, if you want a reharvestable crop during the Spring, then I suggest 
cucumbers, also a very good cropin this season too.

SUMMER - Pineapple
A VERY profitable crop. In fact, the highest in the game, BUT (and that's a big 
but), you can only harvest it twice maximum in the summer. So it's total profit 
for one bag is 8000 G MAXIMUM, no higher than that. When compared to other crops,
for example, the sweet potatoe, the pineapple total profit is not as much 
compared to it. Taking into account that you can harvest the sweet potatoe 
multiple times. The pineapples take a long time to grow, taking around 20 days 
to harvest and around another 5-6 days to reharvest. Since each season is 30 
days long, you are just one day short of another harvest and a chance to make 
another 4500 G. >_<! Overall, the pineapple is a great crop for summer. But for 
those he don't like the waiting, I recommend the corn. Reharvestable and with a 
sell price of 100 G each, very good indeed. You can also use the corn to make 
feed for your chickens.

FALL - Sweet Potatoe
In my opinion, the BEST (and I mean best) crop to grow in the whole game. Too 
bad it's only for Fall though. >_<. It's reharvestable, it has a high sell price,
it grows fast, IT'S A BIG MONEY MAKER! It regrows in around 2 days which is very 
fast, compared to the pineapple..-_-".During the Fall, you should just plant all 
sweet potatoes, period, trust me you wil get LOADS of money even though you are 
just planting one kind of crop. The sweet potatoes will grow very fast, so I 
STRONGLY suggest getting the Harvest Spritesto help. But, if you don't feel like 
growing only sweet potatoes, then I recommend the eggplants as the next best 
thing in Fall.

4. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

=====

1. Q: I can't grow ----- crop!

A: First, make sure you are planting the crop in the correct season. Remember to 
till your soil before you plant your seeds and water them once everyday.
  

2. Q: Where do I get ----- seeds?

A: Check the super market (where Karen's parents work) and Won's shop (at the 
beach). At the supermarket, seeds will only appear in the season that it can be 
grown in. For example, you can only get carrot seeds at the supermarket in Fall 
because that is whenit can be grown. At Won's shop, the seeds are there all year 
so you don't have to wait until the season it is grown in.


3. Q: How do you get the strawberry, spinach and pumpkin seeds?

A: Read section 3.C.


4. Q: What can you do with crops?

A: SHIP THEM TO GET MONEY!! Or you can use them to cook, if you have a kitchen. 
You can also give them people as presents.

5. Q: How do you ship crops?

A: Walk over to a shipment box (one is just above that little pond in at your 
farm, there are others in your chicken coop and barn), hold a crop in your hands 
and press A. Make sure you are facing the box before you press A or else you will
throw your crop on the floor and you can never get it back!
