FarmVille Tip: Promoting your Barn Raising

Hello neighbors and fellow farmers!

Just a little disclaimer... we are not Farmville experts whatsoever. If we are, oh my, we would have gotten way higher in the agricultural ladder! LOL

Anyhoo, we just want to share a little tip that we've discovered to work for us (and our friends) in promoting, helping and completing barn raisings in a more efficient way.

Feel free to let us know if you're finding the instructions confusing or difficult to follow so we can revise them.

Happy farming! Ü
