First cut down 3/4 of your pasture to get like 200 fodder in your silo. Then take out 99 of them and put it in your rucksack. (it takes like 3-5 min to do this) Then around noon go take 1 more fodder out of the silo. Keep it in your hands. Exit the barn, and go to Van. When you see Van it should say look on the A button. He will ask if you want to sell that, hit yes, then he will tell you that it is 10G for 1 of them and that you have 100. So you do the math. (i'll do it 4 u) 10 x 100 = 1000. VIOLA You just got 1000G Easily. (Now the process can be done as much as u want, and it can get frustraiting at times just be patient, its well worth it)
Adopt a cat
Befriend Romona. Somewhere in Chapter 2 and up, Romona will come to your house and let you name and have it.
Archeology
Digging for treasure at the excavation site is another way to make some extra money. Catch Carter between 9:00am and 5:00pm to start digging. Go over each square a few times to find some treasure. At the end of each digging day Carter will look over what you've found. He'll swipe anything that he thinks is valuable and leave you with the rest. You can either sell your treasure to Van, sell it yourself, or give it away. Muffy really likes shiny things.

You don't have to marry Nami to get her to stay in town. In the second chapter some time in summer if you go to the bar from about 9:00 PM- 10:00 PM a movie might start and, if it does the boys that loved Nami will come in then Carter. Then the boys will start to talk about how much they miss Nami and Carter will say he saw her a couple of minutes ago or something like that. Then the boys will go outside to see her, a question will appear and ask if you want to go and see her your not.( Note you need to go out to see her if you want her to stay in town well that's what I think.) The boys will be all around her if you go out to see her. Then she'll be happy to see everybody and when the boys leave Nami will ask you a question say for her to stay for as long as she wants. But I don't know how long she'll stay. ( Note the other answer might make her unhappy.)

extremely good care of your horse. If you win, you will get a lot of medals.
How to Make Hybrid Seeds
After the second year, visit Takakura when he is inside his house between 5:00 pm to 10:00pm to meet Tartan. Tartan is a two headed plant that will make hybrid seeds for you. Give him two different seeds and he'll mix them together to make a new hybrid crop. After this stage you can again mix crops that have already been mixed to make a second generation hybrid crop. These are called rare crops or rare trees.
Have Takakura order you a male and female chicken. Some of her eggs she lays are fertilized. INSETAD of selling them, put them in the Incubacator located in the chicken coop. It will take a few days for the chick to hatch, then wait until they are full grown for this next step. Have Takakura sell them for around 450g instead of the 40g some you would have gotten for the egg itself. Note: Chickens don't lay fertilized eggs everyday, and you have to be patient to make money this way. Have fun!
Milk processing
After a few years of raising cattle you'll have enough money to buy a Milk Processing room. It costs 60,000G, but is worth every piece of gold. The Milking room makes milking so much easier, it's automatic! You'll need to show your cows where to go by pushing them into the building a few times and from then on they will go in themselves to be milked.
Milk - Grade B - Grade A - Grade S
Normal - 75G - 115G - 150G
Marble - 115G - 175G - 225G
Brown - 115G - 175G - 225G
Star - 270G - 405G - 540G
Butter - Grade B - Grade A - Grade S
Normal - 225G - 225G - 300G
Marble - 225G - 225G - 300G
Brown - 225G - 300G - 300G
Star - 300G - 300G - 300G
Mixbreed Cows
You can mixbreed your cows. The bull and the cow do not have to be the same breed. For example: Normal Cow X Star Bull = calf. Have fun with this!
More Easy money
Buy a Seed Mixer and put in any of the fruit from tree crops. Sell the seeds instead of the fruit to make lots more money. Example: grapes sell for like 35g each but the seeds are 450g each.
More Hay
When you want to sell a lot of hay to Van for money, keep 99 hay in the storage in the tool shed so you can just get that after you sell whatever is in your sack.
More Money From Better Items
When you are selling expensive items to Van, such as golden wool or sharsharks, tell him you won't sell it after he tells you how much he will pay and then he will make a better offer. Doing this will get you 50% more money than you normally would.
Move your livestock easily
To move your cows, sheep, and goat very easily while they are outside, stand behind them, with the camera behind you. Press A when it says "Push." Push forward with the left analog stick, and steer with the right analog stick.
Also, if you are trying to get the animal to the water tub to wash it, and they are on the opposite side of the field, go to the button on the barn and "Call all animals outside." The animals positions will be reset, and they will be closer to the water tub.
Not-so Wonderful Life
O.K. if you connect to HM: FoM you can flirt with another HM girl! And your wife will get mad and leave you! But you cant marry another HM girl! ?(
Plant your seed at any time
If you know how to preduce hybrid seeds this should be easy. Find a happy lamp flower (you can find them in the summer) go to tartan (the hybrid plant) and give him the flower together with a seed. If you put in the flower and a tomato seed he will spit it out and say its a normal tomato seed but it's not! You can plant this seed any season you want so if you have a sweet patota and you give it to tartan with a happy lamp flower you won't just be able to plant it in fall but also in winter, summer and spring.
Planting max crops in big field
1 way to get max crops,plant 2 types of crops in the big field,and in rows downward.
ex:
X=turnips Z=tomatos or melons
X Z X Z X Z X Z X Z
X Z X Z X Z X Z X Z
X Z X Z X Z X Z X Z
X Z X Z X Z X Z X Z
X Z X Z X Z X Z X Z
X Z X Z X Z X Z X Z
X Z X Z X Z X Z X Z
X Z X Z X Z X Z X Z
X Z X Z X Z X Z X Z
Pushing
If you are having trouble pushing animals to get them where you want them, close to the bath tub for instance, you have to push them from behind. Then you have to push them from the side to aim them, then push from behind again.
Quick Cash
If you are having trouble making money, gather up all of your fodder. Fodder sells for 10 gold a piece and one sell of 99 pieces will get you 990 gold.
Quick rest
Select the "Diary" option and choose to go to sleep. Save the game when asked, then reset the Gamecube. Load that saved game file to resume just before the time you went to sleep, but fully rested.
Seed Hybrids
When you start the game you'll have to buy all your seeds from Vesta, Marlin or Celia. Once you raise enough money and Takakura offers it to you, you can buy the Seed Maker for 6,000G using the ledger in the food storage building. When Takakura delivers it he will put it in the tool shed. Use your crops to make seeds from. You can either replant these seeds or sell them for a nice profit.
You can sell items by going to the spot where Van sells stuff. Van will buy anything you have. But make sure you get there before he does or he'll open his shop and you can't sell right then. But remember that you can give discounts to your friends and your girlfriend. And you can sell stuff at night sometimes lots of people come.
Set for life PS hope you like fruits
First buy some tree seeds then plant them in fertile soil (more than one kind). Then wait a few months and raise cows then when it has fruit turn them into seeds with the Seed Maker. (make 5000g by selling milk and order it). When you have the seeds plant 4 more and sell the rest keep doing this and you'll have a lot f fruit and a lot of gold.
Stop The Rain
To stop it from raining just go digging in the excavation site by the waterfall ask to dig then leave and the rain stops for the cut scene where he ask you what you found.
Tombstone washer mini-game
In Chapter 2, go to Nina's grave at 6:30 a.m. and talk to Garen. You can play the tombstone washer mini game.
Whistling
If you push in the right trigger (on the top of the controller and not "z") you will whistle for your animals. If you just press it once and you are at your farm, your dog will come to you. If you press it a couple of times, like tapping without letting go, your horse will come to you, and she (assuming that your horse is a girl) doesn't have to be outside.
Win Celia's Heart
Give Celia a flower every day, and buy seeds from her occassionally. Her diary tells you how she likes you--if it's red, she digs you. You can view her diary on her bed. To marry Celia just give her flowers every day and her hearts will raise quickly. When they are at 4 hearts, give her the blue feather, what you receive from the harvest sprites in your first summer. Do the same for Muffy... Nami is a bit harder. First make the other 2 girls dislike you as much as possible,
then give her lots of stuff from carters excavation site and she likes. Only trick blue flowers that you find in fall, if you don't marry Nami she will leave town, but if you marry her all 3 girls stay.
