I tried this again last night since I had a secret weapon on my side that I did not have before. There was some improvement. However I am not close to @stan1981 (yet). Now I see that I must also learn to make wise use of my shovels to crush our beloved @rancid and become a real farm hero. Thank you so much for sharing your tips @stan1981. I wish I had more of them to practice with.
That is probably correct. I chose Level 183 because you can get a large amount of cropsies and also because it is an early level and many players may not be up to the level that you refer to.
