Sim Farm
- Whether you specialise in grain, fruits or even maintaining your own dairy farm, in Farming World you have the ultimate choice on how you shape your business. With dozens of seed types to choose from and an extensive stock market listing, you’ll have to adapt to become profitable.
- For the last 20 years, Mac users have been using some version of Mac OS X (that’s a Roman numeral ‘10’, NOT the letter ‘x’). Version names went from ‘big cat’ names like ‘Panther’ for version 10.3 and ‘Snow Leopard’ for 10.6; later transitioning to ‘Californian points of interest’ with ‘High Sierra’ (10.13), and the current version, macOS Catalina (10.15).
- So I decided to make my own Dashboard Widget for RTM and I have been working on it for the past week. I'm now releasing version 0.1 of Milk the Cow. You can get it from its google code page, Milk the Cow. It still needs a lot of work and I especially need more people to test it. So if you find any bugs, please report it on the google code.

Description of Sim Farm
Read Full ReviewSimFarm was billed as “SimCity’s Country Cousin”, yet that fails to set expectations. SimFarm simulates running a small farm (which may grow into a big farm) and plays very differently from its SimCity “cousin”.
Where SimCity favored active (but simple) play, zoning and building roads until you ran out of money, SimFarm requires a patient approach. SimFarm has plenty of buttons and levels and a high degree of nuance, but rather than actively building your farmstead, you’ll be spending much of your time planning the planting schedules for fields, choosing which crops to grow, and when to sell harvested crops.
In many ways, SimFarm presages the idle games of today. Much of the game will be spent waiting for crops to mature and be harvested; once harvested, you either sell the harvested crops right away or wait for market prices to improve (while risking further downturns and inevitable deterioration of the harvest). You are able to toggle the game speed to make things go faster, but this is a game which you play in turns both passively and actively. Patience is the key to doing well on your farm.
There are MANY different crops available in SimFarm, each of which is modelled with unique grow-times, susceptibility to pests/weeds/fungus, optimal grow temperatures, water-needs, and storability. Aligning your plantings and grow seasons with weather favorable to your selected crops and planning several seasons of appropriate crops for each field well in advance are key to a profitable farm. The husbandry aspect of SimFarm is less detailed and is more akin to a mini-game than a proper bit of gameplay. For instance, while you can raise cows, you’re not going to be able to set up a dairy farm and make that your primary business. Animals consume resources and eventually reproduce. While selling animals can supplement your income, it’s hard to make your bread & butter, especially since it’s easy to accidentally sell a “mother” before the calf/foal/lamb/piglet depicted in the mouse-over image becomes its own “animal” to be sold. If anything, animals are the most fun for the havoc that they can cause when they get out—if a fence gets blown down, a couple of cows can make pretty short work of a field.
The weak-spot for SimFarm is a lack of documentation. While the in-game help has vital statistics on crops and animals, there’s very little on HOW to do many of the activities you need to perform or schedule to keep your farm running in the black. Though the interface is not unintuitive, it may take some getting used to before you get a handle on what you’re doing. Additionally, the town has a bad habit of shrinking after new developments are voted on and constructed; there’s no indication (that I’ve found) for what causes the town to shrink or how that shrinkage (or growth) is tied to the farm’s performance. It’s usually not a problem, but if you’ve sunk the money into getting a crop-duster, it can be frustrating to find that suddenly the town’s airfield is gone.
SimFarm holds up well, and while there have been many farming games since, few farm sims take as in-depth an approach as this classic. This title may also catch the interest of idle gamers who’ll enjoy exploring this precursor to genre; a bonus for idle-gamers is that emulation will allow you run SimFarm in its own window while you multitask, waiting for your harvests to come in.

Stilz - use Dosbox, it will run any old dos software.
Most old DOS games use 8-bit software, which will not run without emulation on Windows 7 or later, which are 32 or 64-bit depending.

My best friend had the mac/pc hybrid game and brought it over and installed it for me once. I was going to download this game, but the nostalgia and memories of him got to me just seeing the screenshots. He died in 2005. :-(

SimCityFor years the standard in biomass byproduct removal has been the use of landfills. Not only are they inefficient, but they’re dangerous as well – contaminating soil, groundwater, and emitting dangerous gases. Through the Anaerobic Digestion process, Mac Farms uses bacteria to help break down biomass byproducts, creating methane gas which can then be used to produce electricity. Your waste goes from being an inconvenient environmental pollutant to a valuable energy resource.
With convenient, safe and simple access to our facility, we can easily facilitate your transport preference to help get your refuse in an eco-friendly location. Not only will you feel better knowing that your waste isn’t just taking up space, but you’ll also have the assurance of knowing that you are becoming a leading contributor to the protection of our environment.
Featured Articles
The Mac Farms Digestion Laboratory is an on-site process control laboratory located in the operation control center. Daily tests are performed on both the bladder and tank digesters. Currently, Percentage Total Solids (TS) is also analyzed on both digestates 2-3 times per week, with additional TS testing analyzed on belt filter press solids during press operation. Belt Press analysis includes jar testing polymer and coagulant dosages. Other process testing includes pH testing of incoming waste loads that are sent (fed) to the bladder. The Mac Farms Digestion Laboratory, although currently in its growing stages, will eventually include organic load testing and percent reduction. There is also interest in microscopy to monitor the digesters’ bacteria population with emphasis on key microorganism presence or absence, ultimately revealing the system’s health. Other testing may also include biogas composition and purity analyses.
WASTE PREPARATION
Once your biomass byproducts are delivered to our facility, we begin a pre-treatment process with the material so that it can be introduced into our Anaerobic Digester. Mac Farms then introduces special bacteria, or “bugs”, that consume your refuse and break it down even further through the Anaerobic Digestion process.
DIGESTION
Following your refuse pre-treatment, all materials are then loaded into the digester. The digester bacterium will then begin conversions of the organic compounds within your waste to methane and CO2.
RENEWABLE RESOURCES
One byproduct of the digestion process is biogas, which can be collected and converted to electricity. The remaining materials are stabilized, cured and de-watered, resulting in a rich organic fertilizer and compost additive.
Anaerobic digesters utilize either mesophilic or themophilic bacteria. At Mac Farms, Inc., we utilize mesophilic bacteria, which requires much lower environmental temperatures between 68F and 113F, with optimal temperatures at 99F.
Yes, we do have a power purchase agreement with East Kentucky Power and Taylor County RECC.
Mac Farms, Inc. accepts paper pulp sludge, stillage, food waste, some DAF sludge, and some types of FOG. At this time, we do not accept unpackaged waste streams, but can accept both thick or thin stillage. Mac Farms, Inc. does not accept any type of human waste.
Digestate collected at the end of the process is used as a liquid fertilizer for our crops.
Tipping fees are based on the type of waste and how difficult it is to process. Feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss applicable fees for your business.
