Cool, thanks Colesie!

Is this information still relevant?
Sorry if it's a necro. x_x

[lachlaan]

Nope, not at all relevant.

1. Fertilizer effects have changed, check wiki for agriculture page where the new values (some) are listed.

2. Hay is much easier to get, spam haystacks and it'll be easier on your soul than hammering at your fields with humus for a week and a bit.

3. Long initial post was long. I mean I respected Martinuzz for being part of the nerd team theorycrafting salem for the newbies But perhaps my lack of patience makes me want to describe it more as .. "Either raise the influence bars in one go, or divide it into as many sessions as you feel comfortable with. Keep in mind it's easy to speed up a field to make it be ready in a day, and splitting it up into more harvests will save you hay as the first uses have more effect. Other than that, do what fits your playstyle most."

Ahh, I see.
I have been using Hay and found it to be working fine, I just wasn't sure because any form of speed is enticing. >:D
Also thanks for your third point I initially dived right into farming and just assumed the growth speed was static and never changed, of course I know that's not true and it's just interesting to learn all this interesting stuff about Farming
