Neighbors

The Neighbors can visit your farm hand help out. The number of helps depend on their County Fair status, ranging from 5 to 10 help points. You can add 300 neighbors, + some that slip in though they shouldn't be able to. (I have 347.)

Visiting your neighbors is a way to get coin, XP, resources, finish quests and get visitors to your own farm.Still, the % of neighbors that will keep on visiting your farm is quite low. Having 347 neighbors I got about 50-60 visits a day, while on top in the County/State Fair. Once I fell behind in the Fair, the number dropped to 20-30. (The highest ranked get more visitors, it's a major reason to do well in the County/State Fair.)

You can't remove the neighbors you don't like, but inactive neighbors can be remove after a certain amount of time. You'll get the option to visit or remove when hovering the mouse pointer over their avatar. Note that they may come back if they start playing again.


Tips: When visiting your neighbors:

Heirloom Remu Tree Grove

The first 5-10 neighbors you visit will give Prized Crops that also gives you extra coin and XP. The higher XP the crop or Heirloom Tree has the more XP you get. Learn how to recognize the Heirloom Trees and Crops that will be the best for you. Heirloom Remu Trees gives the highest XP (1108XP + over 8000 coin) you can possibly get, and I think that Soybeans gives the highest coin (over 12000). You can compare that to the 250XP you get for the highest XP crop, Jerusalem Artichoke. Use 4-5 visiting power on the trees/crops and use the rest to get resources you need.

Clicking on sprinklers will give you 1 water per sprinkler, and your neighbor will get 1 water too. Clicking on wells, water towers, water troughs, might give you water, if you are lucky, and your neighbor will not get water. The polite thing to do is to click the sprinklers. Some neighbors even put a row of sprinklers outside of their crops so that you can click on them easily.

Some neighbors put up signs and/send messages with requests about what they want you to do on their farm. It's up to you to decide if you want to or not. Do you have things you want them to help you with or doesn't it matter?
My personal rule is that it has to be quick and easy. Don't put up a sign asking me to water your trees at the entrance of the farm, then leave the trees at the far back of the farm. I won't go there. The same goes for people asking me to feed a specific type of animal, but keep all animals mixed in great herds. Visiting neighbors takes time and I want to get in and out as quickly as possible.
