The Farm Computer can only be obtained by crafting it, but you'll first need to unlock its recipe. The recipe is a reward you can receive from Demetrius, after completing either the Aquatic Overpopulation quest or the Biome Balance quest.
The quests you need to unlock the Farm Computer recipe can be found on the special orders board in front of the Mayor's Manor. You'll only be able to access this after the second day of Fall in your first year.
The type of special orders that can be displayed on the board vary from time to time, so you'll need to check in regularly to find the specific one you need.
For Demetrius' requests, he will ask you to help reduce the population of a certain fish by fishing them out of the waters of the valley. For Aquatic Overpopulation, you'll need to catch ten of a given fish. Biome Balance will require you to catch twenty.
You'll have only seven days to complete the quest.
Using Targeted Bait should help you with finishing these special orders. Apart from that, you can also use Wild Bait or Challenge Bait to increase the number of fish you reel in per catch.
Once you've completed the order, you should receive a recipe for the Farm Computer the next day.

Once you have your Farm Computer, you can place it down on any open space. It will then analyze all the information about the location it is in.
When picking a spot for your Farm Computer, you should take note that it will only display information about the particular location it is in. You will not be able to access information about other areas.
To view the data, simply stand next to the computer and interact with it. A screen will pop up displaying the area being covered and all relevant information.
Placing your Farm Computer on the farm has the most information that can be gathered:
Information | Details |
---|---|
Pieces of Hay | Displays the total number of |
Total Crops | Displays the total number of crops, mature or not, on your farm. |
Crops Ready | Displays the total number of crops that can already be harvested on your farm. |
Unwatered Crops | Displays the total number of crops that have not been watered for the day. |
Crops Ready in Greenhouse | Displays the total number of crops that can already be harvested inside your greenhouse. |
Open Tilled Soil | Displays the number of tilled tiles without anything planted in them on your farm. |
Forage Items | Displays the number of items that can be foraged on your farm. |
Machines Ready | Displays the number of machines on your farm that have finished their production. |
Farm Cave Status | Indicates whether or not there is produce inside your farm cave. |

Placing the Farm Computer down outside your farm will still display similar relevant information, except for 'Pieces of Hay', 'Crops Ready In Greenhouse' and 'Farm Cave Status'.
One great way to use the Farm Computer is for hunting foraged items. Place one down in any area of the valley, and you'll be able to see if there is anything you can forage in the area.
This is especially useful for completing requests that require specific foraged items.
