Oh boy...Bumpercar Chapman! Im not sure I followed all that video with your different methods, but I think I got the general idea and that's still better than my by guess and by gosh method.

Hey could you do a video on the different fertilizers most efficient/ coverage?For example; slurry, manure, sprayers, spreaders. My biggest issue is that when I hire a worker to fertilize, no matter which manner, they run out of material but keep going any ways. And when that happens does it actually effect the yield? Also I can't get the ZG-B to work with my larger tractors, if I use a weight the workers will not use it.

You make the best videos I have seen about this game. Im new to this game and whenever I want to know more about anything about it, I look for your videos. I really appreciate what you have done. You have clarified everything for me. I really appreciate it.

+Arthur Chapman Hello! I have another question. I don't know if you talked about either using the sprayers vs the manure spreaders. Which option do you think will give you more production on the field? And another question I have, I don't know where I read it, is that with the manure spreaders you can spread once and it will be good for at least three seeding, but I'm not sure. As always, thank you in advance!!!

@Vbluguitar

8 жыл бұрын

+Mariano Lloret-Canosa Ok, so Manure VS Fertilizer VS Slurry = the same thing. None of them do anything different :(. They all produce the exact same amount of crop. NOW if you are using the soil mod 2.0+, They give you different effects. Manure spread on the the field will give you moisture for 2 days and NPK nutrients. If you plow or cultivate the Manure into the field, you get even more NPK. Same with Slurry. Lime will also work better if plowed under instead of just spread. None of them last more than one harvest. Hope that helps!

@pelado2668

8 жыл бұрын

+Arthur Chapman Ok just to let you know I'm playing the game on the PS4, so I don't have access to the mods. So since I'm producing the manure and the slurry, the cost will be cheaper than using the fertilizer?

@Vbluguitar

8 жыл бұрын

Mariano Lloret-Canosa Heck yeah. Manure is a byproduct of cows. As long as you give them straw, their bin will fill up with Manure. Then you just use a spreader to spread it on your fields. Its free. Slurry is the same, but its a byproduct of making silage. The more silage you make, the more slurry you will have. The only downsides to either is that they run out fast, so you will still need to use fertilizer to finish the job.

Honestly, I just farmed wheat until I could afford a scorpion and the buffalo, then I planted Fur trees by the lumber yard. You make 50k a tree on average and once you get good at using the scorpion, cut logs 8m long. Then I purchased the big Field and saved up for windmills. Then while you log increase time to ×120. You make 4k every windmill you have every 30 seconds. With more windmills you make more money. I don't even waste time farming fields or cows. Lol I may get into it for something to do but I have a fat bank account now. Can do whatever.

ok, to get manure you need to put straw in the cow pen. You can either collect straw with a loading wagon and dump it into the cow building (each cow facility has a covered portion where you can dump it), or use the mixing wagon. simply fill the mixing wagon with straw bales and then dump it in the pen like the loading wagon. last but not least you can use the primor straw thrower to chew up bales and spray them into the pen. once you have done this AND fed your cows food, the will begin to make manure.

As long as you are playing on a default map or a map that doesn't have some weird "stop milk mod" then you don't have to have mixed ration. But you will get a LOT more milk if you do.

I enjoyed your tutorial. You were commenting about 24 minutes in on real life farming and the US farmers not using so much equipment. I grew up in farm country and worked baling hay and straw starting around 12 users old. Yes, hat is cut grass but the different types of grass determinethe quality and value of the hay. Alfalfa and clover for example are good quality horse hay. Regular grass hay is just cheapo cow feed. As far as drying goes, nobody buys machines to turn the hay. They just let the cut hay lay for 3 days to dry. The farmers plot schedules to do a field one day, then another field the next. Then a third the following day. Then they bale field #1 while cutting field #4. And just repeatthe process all summer long, praying like crazy that it doesn't rain on their cuts. Baling involves one flat bale baler hooked to the tractor with a flat wagon hooked to the baler. The farmer drives the tractor, the baler makes the bale and sends it up a ramp to us guys (1 or 2) standing on the rolling flat wagon. We would grab and carry the bales to the rear of the wagon and start stacking in an alternating pattern, 5 per tier, 4 high, then 4 on top. Then forward until the wagon was full. About 125-130 bales per wagon. Then off to the side of the field to drop and switch wagons and start all over. Ending the day with a long wagon train of 5 or 6 full wagons rolling back to the barns where we unloaded it all.

Dose it have to be hay or can I use canola?

+Vito Pompilio Canola doesn't leave anything that cows can eat. No straw, no nothing. You could use a forage harvester (Krone Big X) to mow it into silage, though. It would be kinda wasteful to do that though. You would be better off growing corn and foraging/chaffing that.

Also,do you have to have a windrower?

Putting bales on flat trailer is really nightmare. Cost alot of time to put bales on trailer and isnt worth it. Maybe in RL is okay to have that trailer but in FS isnt. Really pain in the ass. Recommendation is buying auto trailer for bales. I play all FS and i always buy trailer for square bales. Its really easy to handle and unload bales

Agreed. I pretty much only use the autoloaders. Its a little better in fs17, but still not great.

You might not see that equipment in Ohio... but in Central Washington I am constantly amazed at the millions of dollars of equipment I see running up and down the fields.

I think its probably because you guys have MUCH larger farms than we do so they have the capital to invest in huge equipment.

can you spike round bales?
