You will raise your skill more quickly if you Farm more often, although once every 6 hours is about the most often you will be able to.
Your crops should begin to ripen about two 3-4 days later at the same time as after you planted them but this is not precise. Each tile will grow at a different rate and if you sow 10 seeds at the same time then those ten tiles may ripen individually in 2at different times over 3-3 4 days. You will rarey lose a harvest if you harvest at the same time every day. Crops that are ripe can often, though not always, still be properly harvested at the same time the following day.
Your crops will be ripe when the top of the crop (when groomed) is exactly level with the top of a Small Barrel placed in the tile.
After you harvest you should Sow one seed right back into the tile.
You get almost no skill for Sowing. You get most skill from Farming and maybe a little good deal less than that for Harvesting.
Your best bet is to assume that you will not be making any real crop gain from your Farming until your skill is at 15. In other words, up to that point all your Farming will be very much sowing one seed to get one seed back.
With a 50 tile farm you will get roughly 1 point of farming per day if you tend your fields twice a dayat 10 hour intervals. Takes about 20 mins to tend 50 tiles with a QL 10 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 bed. That way, if you can check again first thing after you wake up, you should almost never lose any crop.
Constant yield of 6 appeears to be at 60 for all veg, cotton and wemp.
Uncertain about cereal crops since I never farm grains.
=== Sneaky Tips ===
*use the lowest QL rake you can
*if possible have Circle of Cunning cast on your rake
