If you play Township regularly like I do, you already know that crop farming decides how fast your town grows. Coins, factory production, train orders, helicopter deliveries — everything depends on the crops you grow.
When I first started playing Township, I made a common mistake:
👉 I grew crops randomly.
That slowed down my progress, blocked my factories, and reduced my coin income.
Over time, through experience and trial-and-error, I developed a simple but powerful crop strategy that helps me earn maximum profit with minimum stress. In this guide, I’ll share that exact strategy with you.
Why Crop Selection Is So Important in Township
Crops are not just items in Township — they are resources that fuel your entire economy.
Here’s why choosing the right crops matters:
- 🌾 Crops are required for almost every factory
- 🚆 Trains demand crop-based goods
- ✈️ Airports require bulk production
- 🚁 Helicopter orders give fast coins
- 🐄 Animals need crops for feed
If I don’t manage crops properly:
❌ Factories stop
❌ Orders get delayed
❌ Coins slow down
But when I grow the right crops at the right time, everything flows smoothly.
How I Identify the Most Profitable Crops in Township
I don’t choose crops based on price alone. I follow three simple rules:
1. Growth Time
Faster growth = more rotations = more usage.
2. Demand Frequency
Some crops are used everywhere; others are rarely needed.
3. Indirect Profit
A crop might be cheap, but products made from it sell for high coins.
Best Crops to Grow for Maximum Profit in Township
Below are the crops I personally prioritize based on real gameplay experience.
Wheat – The Backbone of Township Farming
Why Wheat Is the #1 Crop
- ⏱ Growth time: 2 minutes
- 🏭 Used in bakery, feed mill, snack factory
- 🚁 Always in helicopter orders
Wheat may look basic, but it’s the most powerful crop in the game.
My Wheat Strategy
- I always keep at least 3–4 fields growing wheat
- I sell extra wheat through helicopter orders
- I never let my fields stay empty
📌 Result: Continuous coins + smooth production
Why Corn Is Highly Profitable
- ⏱ Growth time: 5 minutes
- 🐄 Required for animal feed
- 🏭 Used in multiple products
Corn helps me maintain animal production, which indirectly boosts coins.
Best Time to Grow Corn
- During short breaks
- While actively playing
- Between factory cycles
Carrots – Medium Time, High Utility
Why I Never Ignore Carrots
- ⏱ Growth time: 10 minutes
- 🐑 Used for sheep and cows
- 🧀 Essential for dairy products
Carrots prevent factory bottlenecks, especially in the dairy factory.
Sugarcane – Hidden Profit Crop
Why Sugarcane Is Extremely Important
- 🍬 Used to produce sugar
- 🏭 Sugar is needed in bakery, candy, and dessert items
- 🚆 Common in train orders
I always keep sugarcane stocked because running out of sugar stops half my factories.
Cotton – High-Value Crop for Serious Coins
Why Cotton Is Worth the Wait
- ⏱ Long growth time
- 🧵 Used to make fabric
- 💰 Fabric products sell for high coins
Cotton is not for quick play sessions, but it’s perfect for long offline periods.
When I Grow Cotton
- Overnight
- During work hours
- When I won’t open the game for a while
Rubber – Late-Game Profit Booster
Why Rubber Becomes Important Later
- 🔓 Unlocks at higher levels
- 🏭 Required for plastic and advanced goods
- 🚁 High helicopter rewards
Rubber doesn’t move fast, but the products it creates are extremely valuable.
My Crop Timing Strategy (Very Important)
I divide my crop farming into two simple modes:
Active Play Mode
When I’m online and playing:
- Wheat
- Corn
- Carrots
Offline / Sleep Mode
When I’m busy or sleeping:
- Cotton
- Rubber
- Sugarcane
This way, no field time is wasted.
How Many Fields Should You Have?
From my experience:
- Beginner (Level 1–20): 6–9 fields
- Mid-game (Level 21–40): 12–18 fields
- Advanced (40+): 20+ fields
More fields = more flexibility = more profit.
Biggest Crop Mistakes I Made (So You Don’t Have To)
❌ Growing only long-time crops
❌ Ignoring wheat because it looks cheap
❌ Letting fields stay empty
❌ Over-producing rare crops
❌ Not matching crops with factory needs
Avoid these mistakes, and your town will progress much faster.
Best Crop Combination for Maximum Profit
Here’s my balanced crop formula:
- 🌾 40% Fast crops – Wheat, Corn
- 🌿 40% Medium crops – Carrot, Sugarcane
- 🌱 20% Long crops – Cotton, Rubber
This keeps:
Factories running
Orders fulfilled
Coins flowing
Should You Sell Crops Directly?
My Rule
- ✔ Sell extra crops only
- ❌ Never sell crops needed for factories
Helicopter orders are the best place to sell excess crops for quick coins.
Final Thoughts: My Proven Township Crop Strategy
After many levels of gameplay, I’ve learned one key lesson:
The richest towns aren’t built by growing everything — they’re built by growing the right crops at the right time.
If you:
✔ Plan your crop timing
✔ Balance short and long crops
✔ Never leave fields empty
You’ll earn more coins, level up faster, and enjoy Township without frustration 🌟
