Howdy farmers, welcome to the Bumpkin’s Almanac, your daily digest for the #1 Web3 farming game, Sunflower Land. This issue is for Sunday, February 23rd, 2025.

This is the last day of the first-ever Summer season! This Season we saw: (A Summer-y of Summer, if you will)

• The very first negative Seasonal Event! Every event day has been beneficial so far, from yield-boosting Bountiful Harvests and Fish Frenzies in the Summer and Spring, to a crop-accelerating Sunshower in the Winter. Thursday saw the first Tornado, which disabled the cooking stations, animal housing, and crop plots of all farmers who didn’t have a Pinwheel already placed on their farm. Tornadoes are possible twice next week/Season, so make sure and buy one today!

• The Potion Game in the Woodlands saw an increase in traffic, as everyone wanted to get a Lab-Grown Carrot for themselves. Peaking at almost 250 SFL, it was a highly sought-after item to be sure.

• Water Wells saw an overhaul! Previously, you needed to buy a new one at certain points in your farm’s expansion plan. You’d know when a newly uncovered crop plot would be greyed out and nothing could be planted there. The new Well system involves a single item that gets upgraded as the farm gets bigger. Currently there are only four levels, maybe more in the future?

• Tywin took advantage of the changes in wells to sabotage them! Many farmers were unable to plant crops as their well couldn’t support the plots they had going. That coincided with the Tornado, making it a rough day for many players.

Tomorrow is the beginning of Autumn! Get ready to harvest the new Yam, Broccoli, and Artichoke, and get your Tomato and Apple fruits back up and running. Bananas are cross-season for Summer and Autumn.

That’s all for today! Subscribe via email or RSS to make sure you never miss an issue. Be well, do good work, and farm on.
