SimFarm another game from the Sim family. In this game you get into the role of an American farmer. You have to take care of your crop, maintain it and exaggerate. Later, you have to prove yourself as a farmer-economist and then monetize your crop. However, grasshoppers, tornadoes and a few other inconveniences that you will have to deal with will stand up to you. Game-play includes planting and maintaining crops, of which there are 24 different varieties to choose from, each with their own requirements. The buying and selling of livestock, and land, whilst competing for space with the town. Additional simulation includes changing weather systems and realistic seasons, each affecting the running of your farm. After harvesting, the crop can be sold. However, you have to be careful about the market prices and the quality of the harvested crop. Fields can be attacked by pests. It is also necessary to monitor the weather, ensure sufficient irrigation of the fields and regular spraying. Each crop has different ideal conditions, so it pays to grow different crops in different regions. As in SimCity, various disasters can befall your farm. The game also has no specific goal. So you can come up with your own, like buying all the land on the map and stuff like that.
