Plan on one [[Implants#Attribute_Enhancers|attribute enhancer]] for your crop skill’s primary [[Skills_and_learning#Attributes|attribute]] and another for its secondary attribute. Enhancers with “Improved” in their name will give you the greatest benefit (+5 to that attribute’s points) at the greatest cost. Buy a pair for your ‘market’ clone, and another pair for each clone you may jump into while you’re training (to maintain maximum efficiency). They’ll cost up to 112M ISK each, depending on which ~~ones~~ you choose. Take them to each of your ‘farmer’ clones and plug them in. To protect your investment, these clones should spend 99% of their time safely docked at an NPC station, and ''rarely'' use a stargate. Certainly, you can use them for other station-based activities (I do [[Planetary_Interaction|Planetary Production]] with mine), just remember that they’re each flitting around with 200M ISK in their heads!

You might also consider [[Implants#Advanced_Attribute_Enhancer_Reference|advanced (or ‘pirate’) enhancers]], which offer additional bonuses and effects at additional cost (starting at about twice the cost of simple enhancers). However, their bonuses tend to be modest (compared to +5 simple enhancers) and their additional effects are generally oriented toward [[EVE_Lexicon#PvP|PvP]] (which you shouldn’t be doing with your ‘farmer’ character). Calculating their net effect and value is beyond the scope of this article, but this [https://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=203472 forum post] will help.
