Wind and Storms

Strong wind dries the soil and bruises plants; a tornado week can destroy part of your field. Wind also pauses harvest and pruning.

🎮 Play it in the game

Wind damage

Week's top windEffect
20 mph or moreExtra drying of the soil; harvest and pruning paused on a day this windy
35 mph or moreEvery plant loses 2 health (and soil dries faster)
45 mph or moreEvery plant loses 5 health
55 mph or more, or a tornadoTornado: 1 to 3 plants (about a fifth of the field) are destroyed

Notes

  • Wind damage never takes a plant below 5 health; a tornado removes plants outright and the rest of the field stays playable.
  • Thunderstorm days show a storm icon and count as wet days for harvest and pruning.
  • On a day with wind of 20 mph or more, the weather card advises against opening hives, spraying or handling row cover.
  • Real Weather Watch warns about real gusts of 40 mph or more where you live.

Protection

  • A Windbreak layer on the Farm Map adds wind protection and gives the row's plants +1 health each week.
  • Harvest ready stems before a storm.
