- Number of chickens you own
- Number of cows you own

- Total amount of crops you've shipped
- Type of house you own
- Maximum cow affection rate
- Amount of money
- Your happiness rating
- Number of Power Berries you've eaten
Ranch Master[]
If you've met his guidelines to becoming a Ranch Master, Grandpa will give you a gift— with up to three possible gifts. It should be noted that in year one, it is impossible to become the Ranch Master because many of the power berries are locked behind year two events. The first time you succeed, you will get the fishing rod. The second time, you will get the pickax. The third time, you will get the umbrella. In total, it will take at least four years to get all the possible rewards.
If you fail to meet his guidelines in any year, you will get a farm expansion.
To become a Ranch Master you must have completed the following:
- Have four adults of each animal
- Cultivate 1600 pieces of soil
- Shipped 4500 items
- Own the Super Deluxe Wood House
- Earned 65536 gold
- Have a 250 happiness rating
- Eaten at least six Power Berries
