Farming Tips 3
After completing the second Farming Tips, your mother will visit. After she goes back home, you will get the third Farming Tips, which consists of the following five tasks:

- Win competitions to increase your brand reputation nine times
- Ship a total of 500000G

Afterward
After you complete Farming Tips 3, more items will be available from shops, and you will have access to a new basement area on your farm, where you can use Suns that you purchase in Tsuyukusa to set the basement to a specific growing season year-round. It never rains in the basement, so you will have to water plants there every day, or plant crops that require no water, such as fruit trees. The basement also has a high-level mining node.
