Description
Tractor
A tractor greatly increases the family’s productivity on the farm. It is useful for working the land as well as moving heavy loads. Each tractor gives a bonus of +80% to the outcome of all crops harvested. The bonus is cumulative with other tool bonuses and can be seen on the annual report.
