I recently did an experiment involving 10 flat fields and 10 sloped fields, and there was no difference is growing time, frequency of opportunities to rake, or yield. If anyone else can confirm this, we should remove the bold wording to the contrary in the article. --[[User:Arcas|Arcas]] 04:44, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
The max "compound slope " of 8 idea is accurate except that I can found that I could sow seeds at is 10 on a tile with one corner raised by 5 dirts. Otherwise max(NorthSouthSlopes) + max(EastWestSlopes) = NS slope + EW slope, not 8. Was this changed, or does it increase with skill, or is this a weird exception? My farming skill is 42. --[[User:Arcas|Arcas]] 0103:4109, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
