While i was waiting for Farmville to load, i’ve noticed an information on top of the Farmville window. Here’s what the message tells:

Howdy farmers! We are investigating reported connection issues and HAVE DEACTIVATED WITHERING, so crops are safe. Thanks for bearing with us.

So, there will be no Withering of crops until Farmville have fixed the connection issues that some of the Farmville players are experiencing. I think the reported connection issues in Farmville is the “out of sync” problem.

So, while Farmville is fixing that bug, farmers have reason to be happy because your crops are withered-free.
