Okay, let’s talk about my little farming adventure in Stardew Valley, specifically with wheat. I started a new game recently and, as usual, got pretty into it. I decided to focus on wheat this time around, mainly because it’s a summer and fall crop, and I figured it would be a good way to make some gold. Also, using the scythe to harvest is kinda fun, not gonna lie.
First thing I did was buy a bunch of wheat seeds from Pierre’s. They’re only 10g each, which is a steal. I cleared out a good chunk of my farm, tilled the soil, and planted those seeds. Wheat takes four days to grow, so I made sure to water them every day. Though, sometimes I got lucky, and the rain took care of that for me.
- Planted wheat seeds in summer.
- Watered them daily (or let the rain do it).
- Waited four days for them to grow.
When harvest time rolled around, I whipped out my trusty scythe and went to town. It’s super satisfying to see all that wheat fall. Plus, I noticed that about 40% of the time, I got hay as well, which is great for my animals. I also discovered that some wheat is a repeat-bearing plant, it can be harvested many times.
From Wheat to Flour to Beer!
Later on, I built a mill on my farm. This thing is awesome because you can throw wheat in there and it turns it into flour. One piece of wheat makes one bag of flour. I’ve been selling some of the flour, but I’ve also been using it for cooking. I also want to get some beer from wheat, so I tried to turn them to beer, because I knew that it will rapidly build some.
Then, when fall came, I just kept going with the wheat. It grows in both seasons, so I already had a good system down. I felt like a wheat growing machine.
Oh, and I learned something else. When you harvest wheat, you get 18 experience points. It might not seem like much, but it definitely adds up when you’re harvesting a lot. This gave me a real boost in my farming skills.
All in all, focusing on wheat in Stardew Valley has been a pretty good move. It’s easy to grow, you get a lot out of it, and it kept me busy during summer and fall. Plus, who doesn’t love swinging a scythe around? I reckon I’ll keep at it and see how much gold I can rake in. Maybe I’ll even become the wheat king of Stardew Valley, who knows?
