Bushel

Bushels are available for any non-Limited Edition crops, (and for Limited Edition crops as of November 17, 2010), and can be found randomly while harvesting, or by taking them from your friends' Farmer's Markets. Once used, the effect of the bushel lasts for only 2 hours. Bushels are stored in your Farmer's Market. The market can hold a maximum of 100 Bushels. You can purchase 3 bushels per neighbor every 24 hours, however you can only purchase a maximum of 300 bushels from your neighbors every 24 hours. This 24 hour timer is reset at Midnight EST every day. Bushels are not removed from your inventory when purchased and do not cost anything. You will be rewarded, with a choice of coins, fuel or XP whenever a neighbor purchases bushels from your stall.

There is no number of harvested plots which will guarantee a bushel - Bushels are 100% random. When you find a Bushel, you are rewarded an extra number of them equal to the number of mastery stars you have for the crop you are harvesting.

If you need space for more bushels, you can 'Share' undesired bushels with your neighbors.

Uses

 * Use before harvesting to gain an additional 1 Mastery Point per plot if the crop is not yet fully mastered (works with Double Mastery Weekend)
 * Use before harvesting to receive XP for each crop (if that crop is fully mastered)
 * Note: If you master a crop while using a bushel, you must refresh your FarmVille page for the bonus to switch to XP or you can use another bushel of the same type.
 * Use to get a license to plant that crop if you're not a high enough level to plant it
 * Can be used to create items in Crafting Buildings
 * Can be used to create Slop in Pigpens
