Final Challenge Farm Frenzy 2

I'm at the end of Farm Frenzy 2, with gold on all levels, but I can't seem to "get the gold" on the very last challenge.

Help, please.

The last level where you have 40 minutes to complete it? Let me remember how I did it...


As I recall I started pretty slowly, and then gained momentum.
I'll be back shortly with some tips.

Ok, for the very last level, with goals of 300 cakes, 200 packaged bacon, 100 Cheese, and 50 Costumes, with a gold rating of 45 minutes this is what I did:

Capture & Sell 2 bears, upgrade warehouse once. Capture and sell two bears, capture another bear, Buy egg solid plant and one chicken. Sell 1 bear, make 5 clicks worth of grass. Capture bear, buy bakery & 1 chicken, sell bear, process eggs as you get them.
Capture and sell two bears, Buy water, buy 10 flour & confectionary. Plant grass, make cakes, caputre Polar bear & Sell it & first cake (Your time should be right around 3:15 at this point). Capture panda, sell panda & 2 cakes, buy water/grass, upgrade egg solid plant, bakery, & confectionary once each. Buy five more flour, sell finished cakes (2). buy 2 more chickens, pature & sell bear/cakes, UPgrade truck, sell bears/cakes, upgrade egg solid, Bakery (lvl 3 each). Buy more flour (10), upgrade confectionary (3), Warehouse (3), buy one chicken (to make a total of 5), upgrade egg buildings to level 4, buy slicer, upgrade plane, buy 15 flour, buy smoke house, buy 2 pigs, keep going and upgrade the egg buildings to level 5, buy 3 more chickens and a cat. Buy packaging plant (around 15 minutes in). Keep processing everything, and when you are near what you need to get your 300 cakes, sell your chickens. Keep upgrading pork plants as you can. Buy level one separator and churn before you buy your first cow (around the 25 minute mark). Then buy the cheese dairy as soon as you can, with some rennet.Buy a second cow when you have $10,000 again. Upgrade the dairy plants as you can to level FOUR (keeping at least one extra cow than the level you have, i.e. 5 cows with level 4 bldgs).When you are close on your pork goal, sell your pigs. Buy all the feather plants (fan, hat, and costume shops) and then save up for an ostrich. Buy 5 of the hats and bolts of cloth. Sell the first costume and buy another ostrich. Sell all your cows when you're close to your dairy goal. Keep selling costumes as you get them and max out your feather buildings. Buy 15 more of each hat and cloth, and buy ostriches until you have about 13 of them (buy 3-5 more cats as well to help gather.) Keep processing/buying hats and cloth. I finished in 39:15.

Good luck!

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I've tried this so many times & I can only begin getting the ostriches around minute 40, which is way too late. Anyone? Gonna drive me nuts since all I need is this & to find all the gags, although who knows which ones or how many I have already or still havent seen.

Ok, try it the way I have up there, through getting your first cow around the 25 minute mark.
Then, as soon as you have each of the milk buildings upgraded to 2 at a time, and three cows, build your feather processing plants, and save up for your ostrich. You should get the ostrich by the 30 minute mark this way. Then just keep working everything as you can, keeping a few of the products to make the costumes on hand so that you can upgrade things faster. Max out your milk & Feather processing buildings, then just buy a lot (I had 13) of ostriches as you can and lots of cats to help with the gathering. Don't forget to buy a few more cows to help get to your cheese goal, but then when you have enough milk to get the goal, sell off all the cows.

You should have plenty of time to reach the goals this way.
