When people said "they'd rather watch the grass grow," who knew it would be so much fun?

I don't care what anyone else says, grass silage is the super crop as usual, in FS22. 2.5 to 4.5 cuts per year (if you roll just after harvest), low operating costs, flexible harvest schedule, easy and high-capacity transport, and gives you plenry of time to farm in between...or you can literally just watch your grass grow. Small scale grass silage should be part of everyone's game start. The only thing that limits you is that eventually the high price will struggle to make average price during the winter, because you have sold so much silage!!

Hey not sure if you know this but the grass (specific) rollers will set the growth state from harvested to growing. Saving a day. They also add a fertilizer layer, while weeding. It's a must do for grass as you will not waste money on fertilizer anymore. And you remove the harvested state.

It feels like the waste of time you spend rolling is more of a waste than that little bit of money you spend on fertilizer but it is much quicker. I have quite a few fields and spend 1.4k per harvest, and fertilizing is super quick with the wide machines.

AINT NO WAY i just learnt this. Thanks for the info.

Just a tip for bailing if you have a lot of straw on fields and want to have silage or hay pick up 51% of hay and 49% of straw it will always creat a bail depends on what most is in there. Even you can start with straw up to 48% and then rest with hay or grass to silage and it will create bail of the 51% ingreedient.

Never knew I would find grass to be so valuable. Then again I am very new to this stuff.

Love the videos dude! I learn so much from this, its my first time playing this game ❤️💪🏼

Thank you. Great channel also I always come here for my FS22 needs.

This tip at 4:42 is so valuable. I'm a new player and I thought I was doing something wrong. I did a few meters, and had 998l, then I gave it to the Helper and noticed the amount wasn't going down.

Thank you really helped me with my game

I know I'm two year's late to this party. But just to note, if you are playing multiple days per month, if you leave the grass about 5 days after the tedder, the hay will turn its natural yellow colour when baled.

I just found this out randomly myself, super time saver

I thought you had to dry it first

It looks like this might have been addressed, but I don't have the time to read all the comments, but I see a couple that appear to suggest this. Like with any other arable crop, if you roll the field right after seeding, it'll bump up your yield for at least that first harvest. Each and every time after you've cut, handled and collected everything from the field roll it again. This instantly bumps the crop status from "harvested" to "growing", while also giving you your 2nd fertilizer state. There's also the option to add a silage additive, which is a tank on the loading wagon. This increases your silage yield in some way, not 100% sure on how or where the numbers work out, I've not gotten that far with silage yet. (Still too busy building up my far on NMsL) Great info video tho. These were great when I first started playing, and they're the reason why I'm able to play it as well as I do today. But I am one to always listen to others methods, even if I already "know what I'm doing", because you never know when you might not know something. I grew up on an alfalfa farm, so I'm big into the whole grass part of this game. Rehashing old childhood memories, telling the great "back in my day" stories to my sons as we play the game. Thanks for your time and efforts into this as always FC. Farm on brother! #FarmersFeedTheWorld

Hey, you make some great videos but you missed you really key points with grass if you have seasons turned on. Grass won't grow in December, January, and February. You can harvest it during those months but if you harvest in November then you won't get a growth stage until March. Also, grass takes 3 months to grow during March to November. First month it will say "growing" second month it will say "ready to harvest" but will have a about a 30-40% less yield and will visually look shorter, and the third month it will also say "ready to harvest" but will visually look much longer and will give max yield. I think you should have a good look how grass works with seasons on because its pretty cool!

@y33t23

I started paying attention and can confirm that the last 2 years i've gone through there has been no growth from Dec to March. So if I cut the grass in Nov then I won't see a growth stage until April. So on that schedule it would be full growth in June, then again in September, and only a mid growth in November with no additional growth stages until April again.

Wrapping balers will give you grass bales if you ramp up the size.

Since moving to PC, I prefer baling. No 200 Bale limit on PC as in console, can use followme (when it comes out) to do a train, mowing, merging, baling, wrapping, and pickup all at once. Also, easy to transport with autoload bale trailers (even the stock game round bale autoloader is awesome, it can carry 130k silage, far more than loose silage). Silage bales are easier to store as well, especially has autoload bale barns come out. Bit in general, you can put silage bales ANYWHERE while waiting to ferment and sell. You can even pre-position them while they ferment by a sellpoint - just wait for high price, and bring your autoload trailer or tele/wheel loader, and shove them in. As with FS19, you can't use the silage pits at the BGA until you buy it, but you can store your bales there...for free.
