To complete the multi-tiered Record Harvest achievement in Township and claim free Township Cash (T-Cash), plant and harvest wheat continuously across all your available farm plots while frequently selling off the surplus from your barn.
Tracked inside the Town Hall across four tiers (I through IV), this milestone requires thousands of total crop harvests. While regular farming for trains, helicopters, and factories contributes passively, dedicated wheat farming clears the requirement in the shortest active playtime.

Why Wheat Is the Best Crop for Record Harvest
Wheat is the fastest, most cost-effective crop to advance the harvest counter:
- Zero Coin Cost: Wheat costs nothing to plant, preventing coin drain during long farming sessions.
- Fastest Growth Cycle: Wheat matures in 2 minutes (120 seconds). In contrast, corn takes 5 minutes, and later crops take several hours.
- Turnover Rate: Planting wheat allows 30 full field turnovers per hour. A player with 40 plots can log 1,200 harvests in a single hour of active farming.

How to Prevent Barn Storage Bottlenecks
The primary obstacle during rapid harvesting is full barn capacity. In Township, crops cannot be harvested if your barn is full. Because wheat yields fill storage quickly, manage your inventory with this loop:
- Sell Wheat Directly from the Barn: After completing one or two full-field sweeps, open your barn, select wheat, and sell off the bulk of the stack.
- Maintain a Small Reserve: Keep 10 to 20 wheat in storage so your feed mills can continue producing chicken, cow, and sheep feed without interruption.
- Pre-Clear Low-Value Inventory: Before starting a dedicated harvest session, sell off excess construction materials or cheap factory items to provide sufficient storage headroom.

Optimizing Field Layout for Fast Harvesting
Scattered fields slow down collection and replanting. To minimize finger movement:
- Consolidate Plots into a Grid: Arrange all farm plots into a single rectangular block near the center of town.
- Use Continuous Swiping: Drag the sickle tool across the entire block in a single continuous stroke, followed immediately by dragging the wheat seed across the same path.
- Avoid Gaps: Grouping plots together prevents unplanted fields from being overlooked.

Using Laboratory Boosters to Shorten Farming Time
Two boosters available in the Laboratory can cut down completion time significantly:
- High-Speed Agriculture: Reduces crop growth time by 40%. This drops wheat maturation from 120 seconds to roughly 72 seconds, nearly doubling your harvest rate per session.
- Super Harvest: Doubles the quantity of crops gathered per field plot. While you should check whether your game version credits double yields toward raw harvest achievement counts, the extra volume significantly increases coin generation when liquidating stock from the barn.
Once you reach the final milestone for Record Harvest IV, open the Town Hall building to collect your rewards.
