Around Spring of 2013 Zynga drastically cut the fuel redemption rate from harvested crops. Before that time, efficient farming of multi-star crops could result in a gradual buildup of surplus fuel, ensuring that machines (primarily Combines) could continue indefinitely without running out of fuel. After the reduction in the fuel redemption rate, Zynga has now ensured that Farmville players will gradually be unable to continue farming with farm machinery. I had several large farms in the area regions that produced 2, 3, and 4-star level crops. I was a $20-50 a month Farmville player but will now be leaving Farmville because Zynga's myopic and greedy decisions have ensured I can't continue to sustain my mechanized farmiing efforts.
