Gaining mastery in Farmville is all about careful planning and a touch of patience. Here's how to reach mastery at lightning speed for all your crops.
Farmville mastery is a feature of Zynga's Farmville where you are required to harvest any particular crop a certain number of times to gain a "mastery star". There are three mastery stars that can be obtained for each crop, these stars represent the mastery level achieved. Once all stars have been obtained for a certain crop you will receive a special bonus and a mastery sign. Achieving crop mastery is not just about planting a whole field of crops as often as possible, it is all about careful planning and you will need a Farmville mastery chart to successfully do this.
Let's take a look at the following mastery chart to determine the actual amount of times you need to harvest each crop to gain each mastery level.
Column one shows us the name of the crop, the next three columns show us the harvest amounts for each Farmville mastery level, and finally the (last column) shows us the total amount of harvests required to reach the third mastery level overall.

Once you reach a mastery level for any crop you will receive a small reward:
Level 1 Mastery: Receive 25 experience points and 500 coins.
Level 2 Mastery: Receive 75 experience points and 1500 coins.
Level 3 Mastery: Receive 250 experience points, 5000 coins, a Crop Mastery sign with the crops picture, and a chance at winning a premium crop.
To effectively reach full mastery for all crops you will need to apply a little planning to your farming. Use this Farmville mastery chart to determine how many crops you need to plant, then hover your mouse over a particular crop in the Farmville market (within game) to quickly see how many times you have harvested this crop previously.
This will allow you to quickly see how many plots a certain crop will take up, allowing more space to plant further crops to strive towards mastery will multiple crops at one time.
Always remember to only plant crops that you have enough time to harvest! Finding crops with similar growing times is an ideal time-saver.
