Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland (PS2) Money Making Guide (No Cheats)

There are **no cheat codes** for *Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland* on PS2 (Action Replay / GameShark codes exist but often corrupt saves). The game is designed around a **1-year (4-season) cycle** where efficiency > exploitation. Here are the optimal legitimate money routes:

Best Crops by Season (Profit/Day)

Season	Crop	Growth	Sell Price	Profit/Day	Notes
Spring	Strawberries	6 days (regrows 2d)	30 G	~15 G/day	Buy at Supermarket. Regrows = infinite harvest.
Summer	Tomatoes	9 days (regrows 3d)	60 G	~20 G/day	Best recurring summer crop.
Fall	Spinach	5 days (regrows 2d)	40 G	~20 G/day	Fastest turnover.
Fall	Pumpkin	13 days (single)	500 G	~38 G/day	Highest single-harvest. Plant Day 1.

Tip: Upgrade Watering Can to **Copper** (water 3 tiles) → **Silver** (5 tiles) → **Gold** (3x3) ASAP. Saves hours/day.

Animal Husbandry (Passive Income)

Chickens (2,000 G): Egg daily (50 G → 60 G fertilized). 2 chickens = 1,000 G/season. Low maintenance.
Cow (6,000 G): Milk daily (100 G → 150 G Good Milk). Requires fodder (grow Grass → cut → store). ROI ~2 seasons.
Sheep (4,000 G): Wool every 7 days (750 G). Shear only when "Fluffy." Lower daily avg than cow.

High-Value Foraging / Mining

Mushrooms (Fall): Rare Mushroom (1,000 G), Toadstool (300 G). Check mountain daily.
Ores (Mine): Gold (800 G), Silver (500 G), Copper (100 G). Upgrade Hammer to break level 3+ rocks.
Fish: Char (500 G), Yamame (300 G) in River. Upgrade Rod → Lure for better catch rate.

Time Management Meta

6:00 AM: Water crops → Collect animal products.
7:00 AM – 12:00 PM: Mine / Forage / Fish (stamina management).
12:00 PM: Eat / Gift villagers (friendship = recipes/events).
1:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Clear fields, plant, socialize.
5:00 PM: Ship bin → Save.

Target: 50,000 G+ by Year 1 End unlocks all endings comfortably. No cheats needed—just routine.
