Quick Answer
Contracts are a delivery side system: a truck arrives with an order, you fill it from your harvest, and you get paid. Complete one for Contract Completed!, chase three-line contracts for Big Job, and finish ten of them for Big Business. Fifty contracts earn Reliable.
How contracts work

Contracts! unlocks the contracting truck. A contract asks for specific goods; deliver them to complete it. Your first completion earns Contract Completed!. Big Job completes a three-line contract, meaning a longer order list, and Big Business completes ten of those. Reliable lands at 50 completed contracts lifetime.
Scaling up orders
Truckload fills a contract asking for 50 or more items. These big orders reward farms with surplus stock, so keep a buffer of your most common crops rather than selling everything immediately. Contracts and the weekend market compete for the same produce.
Speed and streak achievements
Express Delivery fills the contract within a minute of the truck arriving, which requires having the goods on hand before the truck shows up. On a Roll completes contracts three days running. Both reward preparation: stockpile, do not scramble.
Contract checklist
- Keep a surplus buffer of staple crops
- Accept contracts whose goods you already grow
- Chase three-line contracts for Big Business
- Pre-stock for Express Delivery attempts
- Build a three-day streak for On a Roll
Treat the contract board as a planting plan rather than a chore list. The truck posts its orders in three rows and can demand more than 50 items at once, so a single contract can swallow several field rows by itself. Weekday deliveries keep the truck moving while the weekend market stall handles direct sales, and the two outlets rarely want the same crops at the same time. Check upcoming orders before sowing, dedicate specific plots to contract crops, and let sprinklers plus machines keep the supply flowing without daily babysitting.
Machines make keeping up far easier.
