The Farm Degree system
As you proceed through the game the experiences you have will be tallied together as a special title and displayed as your Farm Degree. You can see your current Farm Degree title by going into your Farm Summary page and tapping the stylus on the portrait of your character. At the top of the next screen will be your Farm Degree.
Just like in More Friends of Mineral Town for GBA, what you do in your game will add up to create your Farm Degree. The titles you earn are based on the experiences you have in the game. Certain tasks that you do will each have a point value, which are tallied together and compiled into your current title. The more you play, the higher your title is.
Unlike the GBA game, the current point value of your Farm Degree is hidden from view. You will have no idea how many points you have collected or how long it will be until your title updates. When you earn a new title you will receive a letter in your mailbox the next day.
Besides having the special title for bragging rights between you and your friends, the Farm Degree will also assign a descriptive last name to your title! If your title is a Farm Chief or higher, you will receive a second name on Spring 01 each year. The name you get will be randomly selected from the pool of available names, determined by the bachelor or bachelorette you have the highest Love Point value with. You can see your Farm Degree's second name next to your Farm Degree on the character's profile screen.

The Witch photograph Present
and the Goddess' flower Present
must remain in
your rucksack all day and night for you to earn 1 point towards your Farm
Degree. If you have more than 1 then you'll earn that many FD points the
next morning. For example, if you had 5 of Witch's photos in your rucksack
then you would earn 5 Farm Degree points every day.
