This reminds me of the Simfarm game.
- That's SimFarm (Wikipedia). The game is probably not as realistic as one might want for educational purposes. --Fasten 15:00, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
- I have SimFarm, and was never able to do well. I always went bankrupt in 5 years or so. I did fine on all the other Sims. Reading about real life farmers, the bankruptcy may be realistic. Our American economic system seems to hate small scale farming. --Stuart Gathman 20:09, 12 January 2008 (EST)
