scoring farms, still have a question

[inca431]

ok, so, this is the first time we are using the "new" scoring for farms, and we ran into a few problems. 

1).  during the game, 2 farms were joined, each with a yellow meeple.  do both "farmers" receive 3 points per city?  or only 1 meeple, since they are both yellow?

2). does the big meeple score more points?  what is the advantage of using the big meeple if he is only the same value as a small meeple on a farm?

3). if 2 farms are joined during the game, one farm with a black meeple, and one with a yellow meeple, both farmers score the same number of points, however, if the yellow meeple has his pig on the farm, does the yellow meeple score an extra point for each city? 

thanks so much for all your help, this site is awesome!

1) For each farm irregardless of how many farmers of one color are in it only scores 3 points for each city. Whoever has the most farmers scores the 3 points per city.

2) Big meeple is worth 2 small meeples. So if a big red meeple and 1 small yellow meeple were in the same farm, only red would score 3 points per city in that farm.

3) if in a farm the same number of meeples of 2 different colors exist then both players score the same amount. If one player has the pig in that farm then that player scores 1 extra point per city.
