Grains (wheat, barley, oat, canola, sunflower, soybean, corn): As with the previous games, these are fairly close in terms of profit, with wheat and barley somewhat lower. Profit = Sale income - Seed expense - (Sower fertilizer + spreader fertilizer expense) - Herbicide expense Here is the final table of results after calculations. Note that you can only spray herbicide during the growth stages once a crop is ready for harvest, you cannot kill any present weeds. Herbicide: Surprisingly affordable and very much worth it. Using a sowing machine that fertilizes is a no-brainer since it reduces the number of passes over the field that need to be taken, but it is not necessarily cheaper. This is well worth the investment.įertilizer: As seen in the table, a spreader is the least expensive fertilization method, though the sprayer and sower are not far off. However, at $493 per acre, this is only $165 per harvest per acre (similar to fertilizer).

Anyone who has used lime so far knows that a metric shitload is necessary for even the smallest fields. Lime: I took note of how much I used each time I spread lime to be sure that this usage number is correct. Here is a table of the lime, fertilizer, and herbicide prices and usage. No mods or scripts that affect crops, prices, etc. Note was taken each time a field was fertilized, limed, or sprayed so that I know the usage numbers are repeatableĬare was taken so that the entire field was sown and fertilized with no missed spots no crops were destroyed, and every single plant was harvestedĭefault equipment was used for all operations Lime, Periodic Plowing, and Weeds were all turned on all were addressed as necessaryĮach crop was fertilized twice (by sower, spreader, or sprayer) My understanding is that the in-game prices fluctuate +/-30% of these values. This was for my own future planning as well as giving me an excuse to cheat in a whole bunch of money and play with all the different equipment :)Įach crop was planted and harvested in field 19 on Felsbrunn (3.94 acres)ĭifficulty was set to Normal ('Farm Manager' mode) * Each day I watched the prices carefully and recorded the highest price for each crop that day prices used to calculate income are simply the highest recorded price Edit: Base prices taken from game. I planted and harvested each crop under controlled conditions while tracking prices to find the most profitable crops. Well, to answer that question, I have been compiling data about yields and costs for each crop in FS 19 over the past couple days. There have been some posts since FS 19 dropped this week about the game economy and slow progression.
