Scarecrow in Stardew valley is a very useful tool to scare crows away from your farm. Now if you are someone who knows much about farming, Crows are kind of birds that can do a lot of damages to your farm and reduce your farming yields.
Stardew Valley Scarecrow
A Scarecrow is a craftable item that keeps crows away from your crops. Scarecrows can be made at level 1 of Farming. Because crows do not attack crops cultivated from Wild Seeds, scarecrows are unnecessary.
You don’t need to plant any scarecrows on the Ginger Island farm because there are no crows.
