Lately we farmers have all been experiencing trouble fertilizing our neighbors' farms. In the past week or so fertilizing seemed to max out around 20.
FarmVille has been updated to allow you to fertilze 50 neighbors farms per day, meaning you can only fertilize 50 neighbors in a 24 hour period.
Official word from Zynga Forum moderator Lexilicious:
"There have been some minor changes made to Fertilizer today. Please find the relevant details below:Users can now fertilize 50 of their Neighbors Farms. Once you have Fertilized 50 Farms, you will receive a message in the upper left-hand corner stating: "Out of Fertilizer". This is an intended change to FarmVille. Once you have run out, more fertilizer will be available to you in 24 hours."
In an update made on 01.12.10 FarmVille added two new ribbons.
The Need for Seed Ribbon rewards you when you use your Seeder tractor to plant crops or seeds.

Zynga responds to the latest FarmVille Chicken Coop glitch via official Zynga Forum. Discussion of glitches such as the Chicken Coop is prohibited on Zynga forums and your posts will be removed. Says Zynga Forum moderator:
"Due to the recent game glitch which is causing many duplicates, *please do not send us information regarding those who have multiple coops* (as suggested below). Thanks for your understanding and our apologies for any confusion/frustration this may cause.The Zynga Rules Of Conduct prohibit discussion of cheats/hacks/glitches.
Before you post your comments please read the following:
FarmVille's current regulations allows the placement of ONE Chicken Coop per farm.
Please do not make any references to any neighbors or players who's farms, for one reason or another, do not comply with that stated regulation.
Please do not ask other forum members how deviate from the stated regulation.
Please do not provide pictures, links to outside websites or sources, blogs, instructions, etc... that show other forum members how to circumvent the stated regulation.

Thank you for your assistance"
Not sure how a glitch is considered "cheating". So for those who have acquired additional coops because of this glitch are they expected to delete them?
What do you think?
Update: Zynga is aware that a glitch is occurring that reproduces various FarmVille buildings such as the Chicken Coop, Garden Shed and Tool Shed.
If this happened to you, you do NOT have to delete your excess buildings and will not be banned from FarmVille. Zynga is asking that anyone who experienced this glitch contact them with additional details as they work on a solution.
In a message posted 01-08-2010, 09:06 PM on the official Zynga forums, Zynga Forum moderator "Channel Zero" says:
"For Everyone That Has Had A Duplicate Building Appear on Their Farm - PLEASE READ
Our developers are currently looking into this issue and trying to figure out what's causing it, and any information that anyone who's currently experiencing this issue at this time would be invaluable to us. If you could, please PM me the following info:
- Your UID - Precisely what you were doing prior to the duplicate building appearing (Ex. Were you attempting to store something?) - Anything you purchased or placed prior to the building appearing - What building duplicated on your farm (so far we're hearing reports of Chicken Coops, Garden Sheds and Tool Sheds)
Once again, in order to find your UID, in Facebook right click on the Profile link and copy the link location. Paste it into a text document and the number that appears at the end after the equal sign is your UID. Copy that number and send it to me.

Thank you for working with us during these technical issues, your cooperation and patience is always appreciated and we hope to have everything sorted out as soon as possible."
PetVille has released its second round of limited edition giftables, but instead of the Bratz-inspired SassyGirlz dolls from a few weeks ago, this five-day special lets you collect the five members of a band called PAWZ.
Each band member will only be available for 24 hours, so you'll have to be nimble and check into the game every day if you want to send (and hopefully receive) all of the rock 'n' roll dolls.
Today's limited edition gift is the PAWZ bassist Roxy, a purple haired wild child who's ready to rock (literally, she's animated). You can find her in the "free gifts" section of the game, and she can be sent to friends until 11:59 p.m. PST Tuesday, January 12.
Good News! FarmVille Free Fuel Week has been re-started and will continue this week until WEDNESDAY.
Free Fuel week will end at 11:59 PM PST on Wednesday, January 13th.
Perhaps, this was done for all the farmers that were locked out of their FarmVille accounts because of tech issues Znyga experienced last week. Even if you were able to access your farm and get your free fuel refills, you will still be able to take advantage this week as well.
Remember, to login each day and visit your farm because the amount of fuel refills increases by visiting each consecutive day.
We'll take it, free fuel is better than no fuel at all! FarmVille Fuel Week Continues!
