A weather and season system are in place as well presenting the same kind of challenges found in a real world farm. As with ''[[SimCity]]'', there are disasters that can wreak havoc on the player's farm. Tornados, droughts, pests, and dust storms are some of the [[SimFarm/Disasters|events]] that can disrupt farm crops and harvests. | ||

The player may interact with the town occasionally by suggesting new tile types and joining competitions with livestock (such as sending in a prize pig to potentially earn a blue ribbon and a cash prize.) Suggesting an airport to be built in the town will usually cause its construction, thus unlocking the ability to buy and use a crop duster. | ||
The homestead in SimFarm is where the player lives and is expanded at the beginning of each game year if the player has made enough money in the previous year. | The homestead in SimFarm is where the player lives and is expanded at the beginning of each game year if the player has made enough money in the previous year. | ||
