Fill up the neighbor slots as soon as you can, then visit each of them several times a day to help maintain your neighbor's farm. You get a certain amount of points for each time you do this.
Also, go to the market place and ask to harvest someone's crops.....collect as much money as you can and then go back to your farm and plant 3/4's of your farm with crops and then try to dump as much money as you can on other items, animals, trees, etc.... all of which helps to get you points towards the next level. As soon as you reach the first level that allows you to purchase more land, do it, even if you can't plant additional crops on it right away. Keep going back to the market place and harvesting people's crops to get cash.
I think once you get to 12 or 13......it just takes off real quick after that until you get around 23-24 then it really slows down.
