I recently learned that crows only eats your crops if you have 16 or more tiles planted. That means you can plant 15 crops early without worrying about the crows at all.
What are other small tips and tricks you guys know?

I see this sentiment a lot about silos, and I don’t agree.
I used to be the same. Always get a silo before a coop to… what, exactly? A silo does three things:
But those three are the vast minority of an animal’s time on the farm, and by the time you get to winter you’ll have one anyway.
The 500g is much better spend on seeds or an earlier coop. The animals can eat grass anyway, it gives more friendship than hay.
Buy the silo when you have money, like after the first harvest in summer
It’s mostly to store some food before you buy your first animals, so you don’t need to buy it from Marnie, and you have some time to set up some space for them to graze on later. (The early game farm is usually a mess, and it gets a bit annoying to get animals walking through all of that junk and your crops.)
That said it’s perfectly fine to ignore this piece of advice - as any other - if you already know the game a bit better.
Yeah, but why do we want to store food? The few days of early friendship isn’t worth it, and you’ll only really be seeing the benefits way down the line
