The Role of a Scarecrow in Stardew Valley
When you’re knee-deep into farming in Stardew Valley, one thing becomes crystal clear: it’s tough to keep those pesky crows away from your precious crops. Enter the humble scarecrow, your trusty ally in this ongoing battle against these feathered foes.
In essence, a scarecrow’s role is simple yet vital. It serves as a deterrent against crows who are keen on nibbling away at your hard-grown produce. Once placed strategically within an 8-tile radius of your crops, we’ve found that it effectively keeps these birds at bay.
