Planning Your FarmVille Layout to Optimize Your Earnings
One of the main things that makes FarmVille so much fun to play is that there are really an endless number of possible ways you can arrange your farm. You can also rearrange things whenever you'd like, so you never have to be bored by coming back to the same old farm over and over again. (If only redecorating your own house was so easy.)
What appeals to your aesthetic taste isn't the only thing you should keep in mind when you're setting up your farm, however. How you arrange your buildings, decorations, animals, trees, and plowed plots of land can have a significant impact on how successful you ultimately will be in FarmVille. You should certainly choose a layout that makes you want to visit your farm often, but you need to take some more practical matters into consideration as well.

Steps

1. Space for Crops
   
2. By far, you'll be making most of your money off of the crops you plant and harvest. Because of this, you'll need to make sure you have plenty of space set aside for this purpose. Depending on the size of your farm, the actual percentage of land this entails will vary, but you should be careful not to cut your crop space down too much. Also, it's a good idea to group all of your plowed plots together to make it easier to harvest, plant, and plow with your farm equipment.
   
3. Building for Success
   
4. Getting some buildings up on your farm is a good way to make it feel like home. It's also a good way to earn a bunch of experience points at once and level up quickly – particularly at the higher levels. You'll only have so much space for buildings, however, so be sure and choose carefully when you go to buy them. Of course, buying the buildings just for the experience points and then turning around and selling them is always an option. You'll lose quite a bit of money this way, though, so it's not something you'll be able to do on a regular basis.
   
5. Trees
   
6. Trees are also a good source of supplemental income. Depending on how much time you're willing to spend harvesting them, you can pack quite a few trees into a pretty small space. You just want to make sure that your trees aren't obscuring any of the other items, plowed plots, or animals on your farm. It's easy to lose space to the shadow of a tree. That's why it's best to plant them mainly on the far edges of your farm. That way, you can enjoy their attractive appearance and coin earning potential while still being able to take advantage of all of the available land on your farm.
   
7. Animals
   
8. Animals are always nice to have around, but they can take up a lot of space too. If you want to make some money off of your farm animals while conserving space, you should focus on keeping chickens in a chicken coop and cows in dairy farms. These particular types of animals don't bring in a great deal of revenue individually, but keeping them in these structures allows you to harvest them all at once and saves you a ton of space that you can then devote to other things.
