Along with the release of the Big Barn upgrade in FrontierVille came the ability to unlock one of four new badges in the game. These badges reward you with large amounts of XP, coins, and even food items or decorations for completing them, and luckily, you can finish all four badges in a matter of minutes (I'd wager under 10 minutes for the average pioneer, depending on your current stockpile of adult animals).
First and foremost, simply store every adult Ox, Cow, Horse and Mule in your Big Barn by using the Store cursor in the menu (where you'd choose to change your cursor to sell or move). While storing just a single Ox, Cow, Horse and Mule will unlock the first of these four badges, if you haven't stored 50 adult animals by this point, you'll really be able to take advantage of this strategy.
Simply enter into your Big Barn's menu, and click to remove the animal that you have the most of at the time. For example, say you have 25 Oxen in your Big Barn. Remove all 25 (luckily, you can rapidly click on your land to place each without having to reload the menu), and then re-store them into the Big Barn. The game doesn't make the distinction that you're storing the exact same animals all over again, so your badge progress moves on.
Repeat the process until you've unlocked all four badges and voila! You'll walk away with almost 2,000 XP, three Dinners, a 7 Course Feast, an Aluminum Water Trough decoration, 100 Food and over 6,000 coins! Not a bad haul for a few minutes work, wouldn't you agree?
If you've yet to earn these four badges through our method or otherwise, I'd actually take the time to knock them out sooner, rather than later. It's possible that Zynga will remove this exploit by forcing you to have 200 animals inside the Big Barn simultaneously, so you'll want to make sure to earn these badges before that happens.

Pioneer Trail Cheats & Tips: Finish the Bridge in Beaver Valley using a single friend
For everyone that has attempted to complete the Beaver Valley portion of the Pioneer Trail, you might have found rebuilding the bridge at the end of the section to be a bit time consuming, or at least troublesome. With the choice of either pounding on the bridge to repair it manually 100 times or continually asking tons of friends to do the work for you, it's a task that will slow you down at least temporarily, to say the very least. What if there was a way to finish building the bridge in less than 10 minutes, without spending Horseshoes, without wasting dozens of Rations, and without continually pestering your friends? Well, thanks to an exploit we've discovered, there actually is!
Now, there is a bit of a disclaimer to go along with this. For one, this is an exploit - not a design choice by Zynga, not a hack, and not anything that's technically *illegal* within the game. Sure, Zynga may frown upon you doing it, but it also doesn't seem like there's any way for them to tell what you've done. For justification, think of this as simply using a part of the game in a way that's unadvertised (and unintended), but does actually work (we've completed this exploit on multiple accounts just to test it). That all being the case, remember that if/when Zynga catches on, the developer might pull the plug, but for now, here's a way to complete the bridge building project in just a matter of minutes.
Note: We must advise that you complete this exploit at your own risk. We haven't received any punishment from the big Z for undertaking it ourselves, but we also can't guarantee that it won't happen to you.
The biggest portion of this exploit is in the set-up. It sounds a bit complicated, but with the help of a single active friend, you'll be able to pull this off without a hitch. First, pick one of your friends that is an active member of your team; that is, this person must be your Carpenter, Hunter or Doctor, and can't just be a friend that comes by to help with your bridge temporarily. This prevents the friend from disappearing from the game once they've started to "help" you.
Step 1: Have that friend visit your trail, and complete their visiting tasks. Make sure the first task they complete is whacking your bridge, and that all tasks after that go to something else (clearing debris, chopping trees, etc.).
Step 2: Accept the friend's help in your own game. Wait for them to finish whacking the bridge (look to make sure your total increases at the top of the page) and immediately click on the X button (the large red X in the bottom right corner of the gameplay menu) to stop their work. Since they are an active member on your team that can't disappear (as we mentioned above), they'll simply stop where they are standing and won't vanish.
Step 3: Click on them again to accept their help. They'll start from the very beginning, whacking the bridge as though you had never accepted their help before. If you know where we're going with this, you'll just need to continually accept their help and X out their action queue as soon as they've added a point to your bridge completion.
You can continue this cycle until you've reached 100 whacks, finishing your bridge once and for all. At this point, it's incredibly likely that your game will experience a "Blasted Internet" pop-up and will refresh. Your bridge should retain around 94-95 of its whacks upon reloading the Pioneer Trail, leaving you to spend just 5-6 of your own Rations to finish it off. Sure, you won't walk away from this building project without spending any of your own supplies, but I think we can all agree that 5 or 6 Rations is far, far better than 100.
And there you have it! An admittedly complex way of finishing the bridge in Beaver Valley in a single sitting. Again, while it might sound complicated in writing, in practice it's actually incredibly simple and a definite time saver. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm all about saving time, so this is one exploit I'm willing to take the risk of employing!

Have you already completed the bridge in Beaver Valley, or will you use this "glitch" to help yourself finish the bridge in just a few minutes? Do you think users should be punished for using such exploits?
