In other ways, however, farming in Rune Factory 2 appears worry-free compared to Island of Happiness. A 30% discount on a bag of seeds that costs 54000G represents considerable savings.

It would be a terrible pity to spend 54000G on a bag of Emery Flower Seeds and then sow them in your field. You therefore must limit the crops grown in your own field to those that can be harvested before the season changes. There are many crops that require more than a full season to grow to maturity.
