I don't know about anyone else, but whenever I bring 3 items to the barn, it most times only counts 2, making me both work even harder and make even more trips to the barn. Plus, the timer isn't really the time it says. Has anyone been able to successfully beat the last game? Is it possible to even do without having to pause the game after getting the jam done to remove all those crops and that equipment and replace it with more of what you need? That's the only way I figure you'll be able to do it, but I'm too lazy to try it. Seems like a heck of a lot of work just to win a game...
