Farming Simulator 25: Strategies for grassland efficiency 🌾
In the fascinating world of the Farming Simulator 25 is all about the smart decisions farmers need to make to expand and optimize their farms. In this blog post, we take an in-depth look at how you can grow your grass empire efficiently and profitably. The focus is on automating processes and maximizing profits from your farm.
AI workers: efficiency versus costs
One of the first challenges you will face when running your farm is the question of efficient use of AI workers. At a cost of around €2700 per hour, you need to carefully consider whether certain tasks should be automated or whether it is more cost-effective and interesting to do them manually. Automating fertilization and field cultivation can make sense in many cases, but sometimes manual processing is crucial, especially for tasks that are easier to manage.
Grass cultivation: a long-term plan
Cultivating a large grass field as part of your farm requires smart planning and investment in the right equipment. A key tip for florists in the game is to use a grass roller after sowing to achieve a consistently increased yield of 2.5 %. Although the lease of a grass roller costs around €2371, this is a worthwhile long-term investment in your grass production. 🚜
Contracts and finances
By concluding various field order contracts, the player earns around €10,000 from arable contracts and a whopping €114,000 from a large cultivation contract. Starting with €16,000 in the bank, he ends up with a much higher amount after contracts have been signed and crops sold. Despite taking out a loan to purchase a round bale wrapper (€112,500) and a pallet fork (€4,000), the financial balance remains positive. Additional investments include a mower (€13,500) and a chainsaw to boost hay production.
Sale of harvested crops
The sale of wheat is a reliable source of income, bringing in a few thousand euros. The player makes bigger profits by selling pallets of mushrooms and lettuce, which bring in €1,492 and a whopping €3,659 respectively.
Equipment and upgrades
- Tractor with tracked chassis: This tractor offers better stability for crop protection thanks to its wide weight distribution.
- Steering ball attachment: Increases driving comfort over longer distances.
- Grass roller (Maxi Roll 630 Green Line): Leased for the permanent yield bonus.
- Round bale wrapper (John Deere C441R): Acquired by means of a loan to process the harvested grass into silage.
- Mower: Purchased for grass harvesting with various options based on width and horsepower requirements.
- Chainsaw: Purchased for efficient logging under a deadwood contract.
Strategies and observations on gameplay
The right strategy is crucial for success in Farming Simulator 25 to have:
- Headland: Effective use of headlands increases efficiency and reduces time lost when turning.
- Management of AI workers: A good balance between the use of AI and manual labor makes the game more engaging.
- Harvest timing: Plan the timing of your harvests carefully to maximize yields, especially for grass. Investing in silage production is strategically important.
- Long-term planning: A strategy that combines long-term investment in equipment and selection of profitable crops will ensure you build a successful farm.
