I've played almost since the beginning and been frustrated at times too. Since the game is in Beta (build mode), we should expect problems every once in awhile. I've lost several different facilities and other things thru it all. I just have to tell myself to have patience and they will fix things in time. Just remember that this is actually a free game and does not get all the trojans, etc that the other farming game has! Take a break, but don't give up on on Farm Town!
I spoike too soon regarding the fix of my visiting neighbors and not gettong message to water or rake their farm. It is doing the same thing again. GARDEN OF EDENS
