Strategy for the initial phase
The focus is on making as many profits as possible in the initial phase:

- Purchase of equipment: Invest in a more powerful tractor (e.g. Deutz-Fahr Agrotron), a larger trailer (Krampe without attachment), a larger cultivator (Dalbo 8m), a fertilizer spreader (Bredal) and a hoe (Pöttinger). A telescopic handler (Merlo) is recommended as a versatile tool.
Game tips and tricks
- Repair and sale: Repair and repaint equipment before selling to maximize resale value.
- Use the in-game map: Use the map to find the dealer and other important locations.
- Use GPS: Efficient field work thanks to GPS system.
- AI helper: Use AI helpers for tasks such as cultivating, but only after purchasing the appropriate equipment.
Additional sources of income 📈
Accept contracts to earn extra income and make sure they are completed on time to avoid penalties. Store harvested grain in the silo to sell it later at optimal prices.
Expansion and yield increase 🐝
Expand your fields with the plow to increase income potential. Place hives near the fields to increase yields by 5% for oilseeds such as rapeseed and sunflowers.
