It looks like you started at the last possible time. Catch 22, to do Tales need to generate a lot of food. In doing so you end up increasing level. Best thing I can suggest is build and save a stash of around 50-80K food and keep planting. At some point after leveling enough dragons your coins will be self sustaining (they will be making more income than you can spend in food).

I am constantly growing expensive crops (Rushrooms and Diamondates) but always feeding my monsters so I never really accrue a lot of surplus food.

Looking at the middle tier requirements:  YES, that is a huge difference from Tier 3.
