Blue Ribbon Project

In Farmville 2 there is a widely-held belief that ownership of a Blue Ribbon Marker for a given Crop/Plant type represents Mastery of that Crop/Plant (though in relative terms the game is still quite young and besides that, the well-defined process of plow-plant-water-grow-harvest-sell that makes up the simulated harvesting experience seems to be at odds with the concept of mastery, at least with respect to skills, but there you have it....

Being as subject to the whims of rank and status as the next bloke however, it is with understandable discomfort that I find myself serving that master of mastery and seeking to obtain the aforementioned wooden stakes with their ribbons and seed package wrapping, and there you have it!  What can I say?

Note to the Reader: This post exists purely for my own benefit, it being where I keep track in a very general way of the number of harvests that are outstanding for each of the crop types with an eye towards the next ribbon - and unless you are deeply fascinated by how many harvests I still need in order to unlock the next ribbon for that crop I suspect that this post will be a very disappointing read for you - but on the off chance you decided to read it anyway...

Sex! Violence! Car Chase! Ouchie! Shots Fired! More Sex!

There, see? I spiced it up with sex, violence, a car chase and a shoot-out! So don't you go saying that I do not care a fig for the reader!

Consult the Listing Key to better understand the meaning of each of the columns and their data at the bottom of the table if you are curious - and well you should be curious young Jedi, for in the columns finds one the meaning and etc. Because Yoda Knows and so should YOU!

Another Note: If the number is only in the Yellow Column that means that a Ribbon Sign has not yet been earned so, if you cannot find a Ribbon Sign on my farm for that crop, well, that is why!

Also Note: Some signs are missing and always have been - Broccoli for instance - and I do not know why....

Note that the number in each of the ribbon columns (Yellow / Red / Blue) represents the number of harvests that REMAIN before the related ribbon level is unlocked and therefore obtained in the game.
