🎃 Scarecrow

The Scarecrow is a Crafting Item in Stardew Valley. It serves the essential function of shielding your crops from pesky crows, ensuring they remain safe and unharmed as they grow. Players can craft a Scarecrow once they reach Farming Level 1.

Unlike many crops, those grown from Wild Seeds do not require the protection of a Scarecrow, as crows do not target them.

📦 Acquisition

Crafted with 50 Wood, 20 Fiber, and 1 Coal.
Scarecrow crafting recipe is unlocked at Farming Level 1.

⚙️ Usage

Place the Scarecrow in your fields to protect crops within a radius of 8 tiles in every direction.
For maximum crop protection, ensure to position multiple Scarecrows in larger farming areas.
Scarecrows do not need to be watered or maintained, making them a low-effort investment for crop security.

💡 Tips & Strategies

Pro Tip: Strategically place Scarecrows throughout your farm to create an effective protection network against crows.

Cover larger areas of crops by crafting multiple Scarecrows.
Remember that if crows get to your crops, they will consume them, so early installation is key.
