Planning Your Farm Layout
When placing your Deluxe Barn, consider the following:

A well-planned layout can save you time and energy in your daily farm routine.
Seasonal Considerations
Keep in mind that animal care changes with the seasons:

Economic Impact
The Deluxe Barn is a significant investment, but it can greatly increase your farm’s profitability. Here’s a breakdown of potential daily income from a fully stocked Deluxe Barn:
- 6 cows producing large milk: 6 * 190g = 1,140g
