Best ways to increase crop yield in farming simulator 25

Most of your income is in Farming simulator 25 unsurprisingly, it will depend on how many crops you are able to harvest. Larger fields will produce more crops, but will take much longer to manage, likely requiring you to hire someone to keep up with everything.

Planting more crops isn't the only way to improve the amount of crops you get once harvest time arrives. Improving your yield will make a huge difference here, without having to buy more seeds and without having to expand your farm into more fields.

File your fields

Liming will be something you will only have to do occasionally, which means it will be an easy process to keep under control.

Every three harvests, your fields can be limed. Liming requires a fertilizer spreader, especially one that can be filled with lime.

An easy way to tell if your pitch needs liming is to simply look at the soil; he'll say, “It needs lime.” Filing your field will earn you a
15% bonus on your performance.

Equipment options for calcination

At the time of writing, there is just one option for spreading limebut there are attachment options that you can activate at the time of purchase. These accessories are not necessary, but they make liming a pitch significantly more time efficient.

How to get lime

Lime can be purchased from the store, below Yield improvements > Consumables.

Fertilize your crops

Fertilization is one of the most multi-faceted options when it comes to improving yield. There are several ways to obtain fertilizer and it exists in both solid and liquid states.

Fertilizer is specifically applied after the field is planted, as it is technically applied to the crop and not the field. Fertilize your plants increase your yield by 23%and can be done twice on the same crop set to double the bonus.

Fertilization equipment options

There are many more options when it comes to equipment for fertilizing crops and the choice of equipment will depend somewhat on whether you are using solid fertilizer or liquid fertilizer (slurry).

These are the equipment options for manure spreading:

If you are using a solid fertilizer other than manure, here are your options:

Using slurry to fertilize fields can be a little more complicated. The first section will consist of sewage tanks; some of these can spread the slurry on their own and some of them require the purchase of a sprayer to do that job.

For tankers requiring slurry spreaders, here are the options:

Liquid fertilizer is distributed with sprayers specially suited for both spraying and herbicide, which we will talk about later.

How to get fertilizer

Fertilizer can be purchased from the shop below Yield improvements > Consumables category. Different sizes of solid and liquid fertilizers are available.

You can too collect fertilizer from your animalsapart from the bees. Depending on the buildings you have built for your animals, you will be able to do this collect both manure and/or sewageand deposit them directly into the tools you will use to apply them.

Collecting fertilizer from your animals is the
the most convenient way to obtain fertilizers
but if you don't keep animals, buying it from the store is a perfectly viable option.

Removing weeds from fields

Removing weeds technically won't improve crop yield above its base value, but it does you will eliminate the penalty that applies for having weeds in your field to your performance. Harvesting from a weed infested field can cause a 20% reduction in yieldwhich is considerable.

Weeding Equipment Options

There are three different ways to deal with weeds, each different in effectiveness and price.

Weeders and hoes are the cheapest optionbut weed killers only remove small weeds, leaving large ones as a nuisance. If you keep weeding and don't let them grow beyond the first stage, weeding will get the job done perfectly. But if they have grown, the weeds will be more powerful than the weeder can handle.

Hoes will remove medium weeds as well as, otherwise it works like a weeder.

Your other option for removing weeds would be with a sprayer, using herbicide. The herbicide can be purchased from the shop below Yield improvements > Consumables category and is loaded into a sprayer.

Rolling your fields

The rolling is finished after sowing your seedsand improves overall performance. Rolling has the added benefit of pushing smaller stones back into the ground, preventing them from damaging your vehicles.

Rolling equipment options

There aren't many options for rolling, only two. The most expensive option, the LandRoller, has a considerably larger radiusand will allow you to roll an entire field twice as fast.

Mulching of crop stubble

Some crops leave stubble after harvesting. This stubble can then be shredded with a shredderproviding a small yield bonus to subsequent crops grown in that field.

Mulching equipment options

There are two different types of shredders available in the shop; the variety we are looking for is in the Soil cultivation section.

Improving crop yield with bees

Finally, bees will increase crop yields on three types of crops in particular:

• Rapeseed
• Sunflower
• Potatoes

In order for bees to increase the yield of these crops, the hives must be placed next to fields with those specific crops. This is by far the most cost-effective way to increase crop yield, as it requires no maintenance once the hives are in place.

Harvesting honey

Even bees passively provide honey over timecollected on the hive honey pallet. You can sell this raw honey for profit or further process it along with other ingredients into grains.
