[[Farming]] skill is gained by harvesting [[crops]]. Caring for animals also adds experience: Petting, milking, and shearing farm animals or picking up an animal product inside a barn or coop each give 5 experience points. Using a [[Hoes|hoe]] or [[Watering Cans|watering can]] does not grant experience by itself. Each level grants +1 [[#Proficiency|proficiency]] to hoes and watering cans.
