One of the best ways to make a sustainable income inFarming Simulator 25is to ensure that the crops you plant have the maximum possible yield you can get. Planting large fields will obviously yield more crops, but this can get unsustainable in the long term when you start looking after animals and buying production lines.
As such, there are a few ways that you may make sure you get the best yields, even when you use smaller fields. These are the surefire ways that you can maximize your crop yields without having to expand your farmland too quickly and without the need to buy more seeds.
Fertilize Your Crops After Planting
Fertilizing your crops is thebest way to increase their yields. You can apply different types of fertilizer to your crops, and you’ll need to do so after you’ve planted them. Fertilizer can increase your crop yield byup to 23%, and you can even fertilize twice on the same crops.
There are two different types of fertilizer, namelysolid and liquid (slurry), and you’ll need different types of equipment to use each. Solid fertilizer is a little simpler to use than liquid, because some fertilizers for slurry require an extra sprayer attachment in order to spread the fertilizer on your crops. However, it’s also worth noting that manure is a type of solid fertilizer that needs special equipment to spread.
you’re able to find all the equipment to use fertilizerin the shop under vehicles.
You can either buy fertilizer from the shop as well, or you cancollect slurry and manure from your animalson your farm, depending on the type of buildings you use for them. As a result, it’s best to invest in manure-specific fertilizers so that you canuse what you get from your animalsand save money that way.
Lime Your Fields Before Planting
Liming your fields is another great way to ensure your crops grow properly and give you maximum yield. You need to lime fieldsbefore you plant crops, and generally speaking, they need to bere-limed every three harvests. As a result, it’s not something that will take up a ton of your time, and it canincrease your yield by up to 15%. You can go into your map menu and select the Lime option under Soil Composition to checkwhether your fields need lime.
In terms of equipment, you’ll need to purchase a special spreader to attach to your fertilizer. Right now, theK105 Fertilizer Spreaderis the only available option in the shop that supports lime spreading, and it’ll do the job. As for the lime itself, you can either get it from a lime station or purchase it from the shop.
Remove Weeds (Weeds Reduce Crop Yield)
Weeds are arguably the worst pest inFarming Simulator 25, because they can grow quickly and will significantly reduce your crop yield if you don’t deal with them. There are three different ways you can deal with weeds on your farm with equipment you can find in the shop:
Roll Your Fields After Cultivating
You can roll your fields after you’ve cultivated them, and this willincrease your yield by about 2.5%. The other advantage of rolling fields is that it willpush down smaller rocksthat have popped up on the farmland, making it less likely that your harvester will be damaged when the crop is ready.
You can find rollers in the shop under Yield Improvements. There are only two available, and the more expensive version — theLandRoller 591A— can roll your fields twice as quickly. So, overall, it’s a valuable asset to get once you have the ability to do so.
Mulch Before Planting New Crops
Some crops leave behind a kind of stubble after you’ve harvested them, and this stubble can be mulched for an extra 2.5% yield increase.You need to use it before you cultivate the field again, and the next set of crops you plant on that farmland will enjoy the yield increase.
you may find mulchers in theFarming Simulator 25shop underSoil Cultivation, and there are two types. One is used mainly for olive and grape mulching, while the others are for general mulching of crops that leave behind the stubble you want to get rid of.
