Corn in FarmCapi: 2 hours, one watering and the base of cornmeal

Corn in FarmCapi becomes available at level 5, the seed costs 35 coins, it's ready in 2 hours with a single watering and each plot yields 4 to 6 ears that sell for 19 coins each. Average profit is 60 coins per plot. In the current version (November 2026), corn is the crop for players who check in every couple of hours, and the raw material for cornmeal (fubá), which becomes the farm's cornmeal cake.

Corn at a glance

How to grow corn, step by step

1. At level 5, buy corn seeds in the Shop under Seeds.
2. Till with the Hoe, plant with Seeds and water once.
3. Feel free to leave: the plot stays wet until harvest.
4. When you're back, deal with weeds (Hand) and pests (Bug spray).
5. Harvest with the Hand. Keep what the Windmill needs and sell the rest from the Barn.

Sell corn or make cornmeal?

Cornmeal is the first recipe that really adds value to a harvest. At the Windmill, 2 corn become 1 cornmeal in 15 minutes. At Barn prices:

The cornmeal recipe also gives 6 XP per batch. The catch: the Windmill makes one item at a time and starts with 2 slots. If you harvest 9 plots of corn (around 45 ears), it takes the Windmill over 5 hours to grind it all. Sell the surplus.

When to plant corn

Corn is built for players who come back every 2 hours: lunch break, end of the workday, after dinner. Plant, water, leave. If you check in every half hour, the tomato fits better; if you only come back at night, strawberries or pumpkins pay more.

Checklist before you log off with corn planted:

• every corn plot watered (no "Thirsty · water it" left);
• Bug spray in the Barn for when you're back;
• the Windmill queue full, so it works while the corn grows.

Fertilizer on corn

Fertilizer (12 coins, level 3) cuts 30% of the time left in the current stage, one per stage. On corn's last stage (50 minutes), used right at the start, it saves 15 minutes. It's only worth it when an order or recipe is waiting on that corn.

Where corn is used

• Cornmeal at the Windmill, and cornmeal in cornmeal cake at the Wood stove.
• Orders from level 5: 2 to 4 corn plus 3 to 5 eggs.
• Quests: "Cornfield" (plant 8 corn stalks) and, after the Windmill, "Freshly ground cornmeal" (collect 3 cornmeal, rewards 1 gem).

Previous and next crop

Before it comes the tomato; after it, the strawberry at level 7. To compare corn with the other crops, read our crop profit ranking; to see corn become cornmeal outside the game, read how Brazilian fubá is made. Play free and watch the Windmill spin with your first corn.
