This guide covers every aspect of the Farmyard, from containers and NPCs to lost items and the strategies that will make you rich.

Ted: The Farmyard NPC
Ted is the primary NPC in the Farmyard. He offers advanced quests with significantly better rewards than Sal's Back Alley quests.
Ted quest overview:
| Quest | Objective | Reward | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Welcome to the Farm | Talk to Ted | 200 cash | Trivial |
| Barn Hunter | Win 3 Barn Garage auctions | 500 cash | Medium |
| Gold Rush | Find a Gold-mutated item | 800 cash | Medium-Hard |
| Farm Collector | Sell 10 Farmyard items | 600 cash | Easy-Medium |
| Agricultural Expert | Win 5 Farmyard auctions | 1,000 cash | Medium |
| Farmyard Boss | Complete 15 Farmyard auctions | 1,500 cash | Hard |
Ted quest strategy:
Ted's quests are more challenging because they require winning Barn Garage auctions, which are competitive. The "Gold Rush" quest is particularly valuable because it rewards 800 cash for finding a Gold-mutated item, which is also worth significantly more due to the 4x multiplier.

Farmyard Lost Items (6 Items)
The Farmyard contains 6 lost items with premium rewards:
| # | Item Name | Location | Reward |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Rusty Horseshoe | On barn door | 500 cash |
| 2 | Golden Wheat | In wheat field center | 800 cash |
| 3 | Antique Milking Stool | Behind hay bales in stable | 600 cash |
| 4 | Weathered Scarecrow Hat | On scarecrow in north field | 450 cash |
| 5 | Old Compass | On tractor seat | 700 cash |
| 6 | Farm Map Fragment | On silo wall, upper section | 1,000 cash + Epic accessory |
Total value: 4,050 cash + Epic accessory
The Farm Map Fragment on the silo is the most valuable Farmyard lost item. It requires climbing onto the silo ledge via nearby crates, but the 1,000 cash and Epic accessory reward make the effort worthwhile.
For detailed directions, see our Lost Items Locations Guide.
Farmyard Auction Strategy
The Farmyard offers more varied and competitive auctions than the Back Alley:
Barn Garage Priority: Always prioritize Barn Garage containers when they appear. They are the best value per auction in the Farmyard. Bid up to 5,000 cash if necessary.
Mutation-Focused Bidding: The Farmyard's ~15% mutation rate justifies adding 10-20% to your maximum bids compared to non-mutation value calculations. Gold mutations at 5% rate are common enough to expect at least one per session.
Multiple Container Strategy: When both Barn Garage and Stable Garage are available, focus your bids on the Barn Garage. Use the Stable Garage as a secondary target if Barn Garage prices get too high.
| Container | Priority | Max Bid | Expected Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barn Garage | 1st | 3,000-5,000 | 3,000-19,000 |
| Stable Garage | 2nd | 1,000-2,000 | 1,000-6,000 |
| Farmyard Container | 3rd | 1,000-3,000 | 1,400-7,000 |
| Storage Locker | 4th | 500-1,500 | 700-4,900 |

Farmyard to Shipyard Transition
Before moving to the Shipyard, complete these tasks:
- All Ted quests completed
- All 6 Farmyard lost items collected
- Shop upgraded to 15-20 shelf slots
- Upgraded or Premium Assistant purchased
- Vehicle upgraded (Upgraded or Premium chassis)
- Net worth high enough for Shipyard (~5,000+)
- Comfortable with Gold + Silver stacking identification
Additional preparation:
- The Car Weight Increase gamepass (R$379) becomes nearly essential in the Shipyard. Purchase it before transitioning.
- The Selling Space Upgrade gamepass (R$349) will also help manage the increased item volume from Shipyard containers.
- Practice your bidding skills. Shipyard auctions are more competitive and involve higher stakes.
Farmyard Unique Features
The Wheat Field: The wheat field in the center of the Farmyard contains the Golden Wheat lost item. Look for a taller, glowing stalk among the regular wheat.
The Silo: The silo is a tall structure that requires climbing to access the Farm Map Fragment lost item. Use nearby crates as stepping platforms.
The Barn: The barn is the primary container location for Barn Garage auctions. Its large, open interior makes it easy to access and extract items.
The Stable: The stable houses the Stable Garage containers and the Antique Milking Stool lost item (behind the hay bales).
