Sometimes you can get coins or even a Power Berry by tilling the ground in your field.

Tip: A mole can also pop up on your farm while tilling land – and if you successfully whack 100 moles, you can get 1 Farm Degree Point to add to your achievements.

Keep hoeing the ground until you’ve created at least a 3×3 square of tilled soil. Then you can finally use the seed bag to cover the whole area.
