A New Twist on an Old Favorite

My fiancé's family loves to play the Farming Game. I'll admit, they kind of have me addicted. I'm still trying to find the balance between how much hay and corn to plant and just when to take advantage of those Option to Buy cards, but I'm learning. It's a fun game and pretty much in line with the struggles and opportunities experienced by family farms. (For more information, visit The Farming Game Online- just don't blame me if you get hooked.)

But, believe it or not, that's not the reason for this post. Meet the Farming Game 2.0- COSI's online game called Bet The Farm. It's an online game very similar to the Farming Game, but it's a one player option. The graphics are a little rough, but it's a free play. For students who love to play games, perhaps you could point them in this direction during study hall. The site is likely not blocked by school censors, and it has some educational value. 

I highly encourage you to check out both of these games this planting season.
