With a 50-tile farm you will get roughly 1 point of farming per day if you tend your fields twice a day at 10 hour intervals. Takes about 20 mins to tend 50 tiles with a 10 [[QL]] [[rake]]. As your skill level improves yield increases from 1 through 3 and 4 to 6.
'''Tip:''': If possible always sow, farm, and harvest at the same time just before you go to [[sleep]]. That way, if you can check again first thing after you wake up, you should almost never lose any crop.
Alternatively, do all your farming immediately after you login, at the same time every day.
