Farming Simulator 25: Different Types of Crops and How to Farm Them
On Farming Simulator 25, you can grow a lot of different crops. But they’re all different, and you should know their differences. This beginner-friendly guide will look at other crops and tell you what you should know. Let’s begin with the basics: the main types of crops available in the game.
Grains
Grains on Farming Simulator 25 include wheat, barley, canola, oats, sorghum, soybean, and more. One thing that’s true for all crops is that they can be harvested with the same equipment, meaning you won’t need to change your harvester and grain header to work in different fields.
Grapes and olives
Grapes and olives have been introduced to the Farming Simulator series with FS22, offering a unique experience for the players to make their “Southern European farm” dreams come true. To build a farm focusing on these crops, you must set everything up using the FS25’s Build Mode.
These crops are generally seen as new options rather than ones to make good money. They require specialized equipment, as well as plenty of time and care. But they sure look good!
Root vegetables
Root crops include potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and beets. These are possibly some of the most complicated crops to grow in the game, but they can be worth it.
First up, you will need special equipment for both planting and harvesting. If you focused on grains only – this means a whole new round of investment. Also, before each planting cycle, you must plow the field to remove any remaining roots heavily. Root vegetables also require different storage options: if grains can be stored in silos, your root harvest will have to be stored in sheds.
Other crops
In addition to the two main types of FS25 crops, some other crops don’t perfectly fit one or another category. These usually require specialized equipment, which is often used for one crop type only. That being said, these crops can be lucrative—either selling at a pretty high price or giving an excellent yield. Such crops are cotton, sunflower, corn, sugarcane, and more.
How to grow crops on FS25
While the process of growing crops on FS25 differs for each specific crop, there are still some general rules and guidelines you should follow.
To grow crops on Farming Simulator 25, first, you must prepare the soil by cultivating, liming (if required), and fertilizing it. Then, crops should be planted, and you must remove any invasive weeds later. Depending on the soil and the crop, you might want to fertilize the field again. Then, please wait for the crops to grow, harvest them once they’re ready, and there you have it: a fresh batch of your harvested crop is ready to be sold or turned into products using any possible production chains.
If you were to sell your crops, this is the average selling price for some of the most popular crops in the game:
