I tried playing American Truck simulator, fell asleep at the wheel, crashed & wrecked my truck, destroyed some property, & was rightfully arrested by Farmer Cop. I sold what was left of my truck & moved back to Ravensport. At least I can use my CDL to transport milk.

I think passive income sources are fine as long as I'm not placing like 200 greenhouses in a row just to farm (no pun intended) money. I typically just place enough to make up for helper fees/salary.

I started on Ravenport two months ago on the small fields in bottom right corner. I gradually built it up to the point where I inhabit all the fields in the middle of the map. I have one of the large fields permanently covered with sugar cane. Its a great way to make money while you expand your farm. You plant it once and leave it...simply harvest when its ready and let it grow again. Yield is high and if the price is anywhere over $400 per 1000 litres I kill it with around $800k from a single harvest. Then I have one field which I completely covered in trees. 24m tall. I took another field and turned it into a massive lumber yard. It has a dual purpose. Firstly...it provides me with wood I can chip and logs for the planks needed to make pallets for the meat production plant. My two cow barns provides me with all the manure I need for the caffeine greenhouses that goes to the Coca Cola plant. Half of my sugar cane yield goes into silos for the sugar production plant while I have another field I intermittently harvest sugar beets from for the sugar plant. Sugar then also goes to Coca Cola plant. I have water containers stationed at each place that requires water so it is easier to load and deliver. Another field is used to alternate Barley and Corn harvests for the Jack Daniels plant. At this point in time, I am seriously considering getting rid of my horses, sheep and chickens as the yield I get from them is more work than its worth. And I Can use the land better for some other crop that can be used in the production of Soy Bean and Canola Oil. I have a huge operation going at this time.

I use the field flipping all the time. Sometimes I don't feel like planting and other stuff but want to harvest.

all good stuff..logging and root crops can be profitable too and those asking you have to have contracts available on the map to show them and do the 3 types FC showed in the tut

If you have a map that does Alfalfa or Clover you've got a great constant money source since the crops re-grow just like grass and just as quickly. It will always have 1xFertiliser state, so the only maintenance you need is just one fertiliser treatment and the finances are such that you don't really need to bother with that if you don't want to. Plus you can silage bale the swath for more income.

Grass silage is what I normally do for "quick" money. At least until a catalytic converter processing plant shows up for GC.

I had not thought of the “buy and sell” one yet. Thx... the jack Daniel’s distillery is good too. It almost feels like cheating it’s that good.

Contracts : Buy the base dry fertilizer spreader and increase it's size 2X and add the extra wide spreader and it covers a huge area. Fill it and run around fertilizing everyone's fields. You make about 80% in profit. 20% you pay to buy fertilizer and the rest ( minus fuel and wear and tear of your tractor ) is profit. Cultivating and sowing the very large fields is quite profitable and reasonably quick but the small ones are not so great value for your time IMO. Plus you get to play with the huge tractors and airseeder carts that you normally won't use for a long time if at all due to their expense. Maintaining 4 horses is easy and gets you a nice daily revenue stream on Seasons. Each one needs 5 minutes of real time riding which is not too long IMO.

With harvesting contracts you only need to deliver 75% of the harvest no matter how much you’ve harvested. You can then store the remaining 25% of the harvest until all the harvesting is done and the contract completes.

a tip on fertilizing... Strap your fertilizing tractor onto a flatbed trailer behind a fast truck. Turn on the spreader then drive the truck as fast as you want spreading the fertilizer behind you. It's MUCH faster than driving the tractor.

You shouldn't knock low volume crops like soybeans, canola, and sunflowers. These are great crops if you have dinky equipment(light tractors and tiny cheap tippers), or even moderate equipment with a huge field. Soybeans and Canola also come with faster turnarounds, since you don't have to wait to reseed because you have to mess with straw swaths. If you have a harvester with a big header, they're pretty much 'hire and forget' on big fields. Low volume crops also give you a HUGE bang for your buck per trip when it comes to Great Demands, so they're worth growing and banking in your silo for a that golden opportunity. You lose even more time and money when you start messing with straw bales, so there's a lot of time loss in full volume crops This is something you come to appreciate after having a 3 to 6-hour drag trying to harvest potatoes on a massive contract making 10-20 semi-truck runs because it fills up every lap. Turning a big field around relatively effort-free with hires is a major load off your day. Animals can be maintained with small fields just fine, and high value crops can be flipped on mid-sized fields more frequently.

1:12 personally I use horses :) great video!

Nice and helpfull video:) wish we had that horse helper on console.

Good to see you in fs news thank you

The downside of Fertilizer contracts is that you need cash up front to buy the fertilizer (can be a challenge for a starting out farm) - and you need to factor that fertilizer cost against the payment. However Fertilizer contracts can be completed very quickly because working width of the equipment, so you can knock out multiple in a playing session! And once you get started, they're self financing. For regular crop I tend to prefer canola to soybeans - the seed per acre is significantly lower for canola, price and yield are close. Seed cost can be an issue for a starting farm. For absolute income per acre I like sugar beets, though the work required is significantly higher than cereal, etc for harvest and shipping - oh but that income!! And the entry level equipment is cheap enough, and far less painful than the potato entry level (working width and capacity). I think that the put off for cotton is that entry costs are excessive, and that's the main thing - entry cost or amount of labor to realize the income - canola/soybeans are high value/low yield, so you can harvest a lot of acres, and take fewer trucks to market, so they're "easy"; while the high yield/low value crops are actually more profitable!

That is 136 hours over a course of 3 months.

Hello farmer cop this was very useful

I use the buy mechanic in Seasons to make an investment. When prices are low, you buy a lot of grain, keep it in the silo and sell it once the prices are high.

Selling sugar made from sugar beat harvesting is such good money, made over 1mil in 3 runs playing on Susquehanna River Valley

Great tips FC

The best and this my personal opinion is buying one large piece of land one big combine one airseeder one 400 or 500 horse tractor and one tipper. I play base game with the premium edition.

Maybe it takes to play easy mode. I play hard and my contracts are never fair. Fertilizing contract gives me about 2-3k. And I don't know if I can do a large field with just one pallet of fertilizer. 2 pallets cost 4k. So even if they pay 6k, it means I get $2000 for 30 min of work. Delivery missions are same money faster. Harvesting works better. The best contract I had in Ravenport (the biggest field like 8) was about 50k. And it took me 2 real days to harvest. I sold the remaining 25% of crop for extra 75k though. And that's the best money I ever made. Field 23 that I own gives me 14k per harvest. And it takes 2k for fertilizer. $450 for lime since I need 3 packs once in 3 harvests. So +10k after all. It's incredibly slow. But I dunno if I want to play easier modes. I hate being given everything. What's the point then? I start with $1.5M, that's freaking insane. Of course I can buy the best harvesters for that. What would I play for if I already have everything?

How is you contract rewards so high mine for harvesting is like under 10k sometimes for potatoes it's above like 15k and my fertilizing contracts are normally like 9k to 6k

You have to drop 75% of your harvest to complete a harvest contract. The rest is for you.

The only drawback to the windmills is that at $25k to buy and $30/hour income, it's going to take 34.7 game days to recoup the cost. Eventually.... it'll be a money maker, but not for a month.

There is a cotton Harvester for around 200k on modhub.It is also for consoles.
