I agree. Zynga's out of their minds if they think this is fair. Sure you get a Book of Experience (which is basically a free level) in finishing the third quest, and 7 horseshoes for the fourth, but please, for 165000 food? The most I've ever had is about 40000 food, and I've been playing this game for a year... and most of that 40000 got used up recently trying (in vain, until I figured out the trick) to farm some adult chickens before the stupid coyotes ate them and in harvesting the ridiculous amount of crops in order to get the Enormous land grant. Does anyone at Zynga even playtest their own games? Do they not understand game balance? Do they really think ANYONE is going to drop real money on horseshoes for such an insultingly unbalanced reward?
I'm done, Zynga... way to shoot yourself in the foot.
