Farming Simulator 25: Building a successful farm in Europe 🚜🌾
Farming Simulator 25 offers an exciting opportunity to build a successful farm. In this article, we take a detailed look at the first steps that can be taken with a starting capital of €100,000 to create a thriving farm on the map of Europe.
Start-up capital and inventory
- Deutz-Fahr 3650 tractorSlightly damaged (11%).
- Farmtech EDK 650 trailerAlso slightly damaged.
- Own fieldsTwo wheat fields, a farmhouse and a chicken coop.
Early game strategy
The plan is to start with chickens in order to make a quick profit through egg sales. The next step is to grow wheat and finally produce noodle soup. This strategy aims for higher profit margins (€4,760 for noodle soup compared to €4,200 for eggs). The recipe requires 10 eggs and 55 flours for 40 portions.
