'''Hoes''' are [[Tools#Hoes|tools]] that are used to dig in soil or sand and to till fallow soil, primarily on the farm, but also in other areas of the map that have exposed soil. These areas are made visible by their lack of ground cover and different coloration. They can be found in every region, even in the mines. Much of the beaches are tillable. When a tile is dug by the hoe, there is a random chance that something buried will be uncovered, such as [[Clay]], metal ores, [[Snow Yam]]s or [[Winter Root]] (in winter), [[Artifacts]] (as prompted with [[Artifact_Spot|Artifact Spots]]), or [[Museum#Lost Book|Lost Books]].
The '''Hoe''' is a [[Tools#Hoes|tool]] obtained at the beginning of the game. It is used primarily to till soil for [[Farming]], and to dig up [[Artifact Spot]]s.
The hoe may also be used to till sand in [[The Mines]], on [[The Beach]], or in [[The Desert]], as well as other areas of Stardew Valley that have exposed soil. Tilling sand in the Mines may yield [[Artifacts]], [[Cave Carrot]]s, and other items. Above ground, tilling soil may yield [[Clay]], metal ores, or [[Mixed Seeds]]. In [[Winter]], many more areas can be tilled. These may additionally yield [[Snow Yam]]s or [[Winter Root]]s.
The player is given a base-grade [[hoe]] at the start of the game, which can be found in the backpack ([[inventory]]). Its operation is limited to digging one tile per tool use. The player can purchase upgrades to the hoe at the [[Blacksmith]] by paying the proper fee and submitting the needed materials. Each rise in the grade of the tool allows it to perform another higher level of operation, increasing its speed and efficiency. Each higher grade of hoe is also able to perform any of the lower levels of operation, giving it a choice of effect.
The Hoe may be upgraded at the [[Blacksmith]]. The cost and resource requirements for each upgrade are shown in the table below. To till more than one tile at a time, hold left-click to "power-up" an upgraded Hoe, then release it to till an area.

==Notes==
Tilling a square that contains an object (like a [[Keg]] or a [[Scarecrow]], with the exception of [[Crafting#Sprinklers|Sprinklers]]) will remove the object. This can be advantageous for removing large numbers of items like [[Keg]]s or [[Preserves Jar]]s, but can be disadvantageous when attempting to till farmland. The Hoe will not remove objects from squares that contain crafted [[Crafting#Decor|floors or paths]], so placing objects ([[Scarecrow]]s, etc.) on top of floors/paths will allow for tilling land without displacing them.
