very interesting and useful video, on the back of this I did a little test myself. I harvested a field of canola with then without fertilising. I used field 14 of sosnovka and used the start up equipment and bought the cheapest sprayer. without fertilising it filled the trailer to 28%, with fertiliser it increased the yield and filled the trailer to 55%. hope this is useful....
+Ant Kitch Very helpful. I think from what I have read that fertilizer gives you 1.8x you non-fert yield, so that would be right in line with those numbers.
Thank you sir. I purposely keep them short and to the point. I can't stand when I have to wait 8 minutes through and intro before a video starts. Makes me nuts.
Much respect for your content. Love farming sim 15, can't wait until farming sim 17 in October! Keep up the good work, I'll be watching for your content in the future!
i saw your video on silage, didn't know when it was published (very observant i know XD) so sorry about that! However, after seeing it i didn't no how i hadn't heard of you before seen as you are the only UA-camr that actually makes me laugh! its really awesome how you take time to look after your family and job before youtube! i really hope you get the subscribers you are looking for and good luck for the future! - Tom
I am hooked on the farm simulator drug!!! lol thanks for the help I am debt free just by feeding the biogas plant :) working on building my equipment up for farming. I've got cows milking sheep bees and green house s :) thanks for the help !
very helpful channel. you are a farming god! I'm going for the platinum trophy on ps4 and you have helped quite a bit. I spent 18 hours setting up organic cow farm to fertilize my potato fields . accedently discovered that potatoes are the most cost effective crop.
if they did without doubt that be awesome and fans and players surely love that. I have one big problem through I seen all your vids and now I'm lost without some. :) hurry my friend more vids your amazing commentator and funny if I can I add. keep it up :)
Fantastic video, and many thanks for the tip about potatoes, I'd never heard of that either. If I had to guess I'd have said canola was the most lucrative, what an eye opener.
+ceegnz Its all about volume - Even though canola has the best sell price, you have to find out how much you will get from your field. Its better to have 20x as many potatos, even though they are only worth 1/3rd the price. You still come out 3x ahead :).
Loved the video. The only thing is in the end you state you can use your leftover potatoes to use for your next harvest and that they are therefore free. Actually, they would have value if you sold them. So, unless the price of the potatoes purchased for planting is higher than the sale value of your crop, you are actually losing money by using the leftover potatoes that you left in the storage bins. Purchased seed cost (in this case potatoes) vs end crop cost consideration. Not having tried potato farming yet, but I venture a guess that the cost of the potatoes for planting to make the crop isn't higher than the sale value of the crop per potato. If that was the case why not simply buy the potatoes for planting and simply take to the buyers, why bother planting them at all.
Potato seed is not free. You have to figure in the loss of not selling them. Using your math the seed from your harvest is $894 and change. Leaving your final profit for potatoes to be $6294. Since you said sweet beets was $6650 that means sweet beets are still #1.
+blackdragon46819 Your idea doesn't work when you plant the potatoes you don't get the crop plus the seed. You lose the seed when you plant and harvest the new crop. Each time you plant seed from the previous crop losing that profit you would get from selling it. Yes there is no cost for the seed upfront, the cost is in not selling it. It's like planting an acre but using an 8th of it to seed next time. You are not selling the full acre you are only selling 7/8ths of the acre losing that 1/8th of money each time. Any other crop you would be selling the whole acre and buying seed for the next harvest. So not selling the potato seed is the same as buying it for the other crops. Sorry I'm late to respond but I only came across this again today.
A couple of interesting questions and see if anyone can answer. (1) How big is a hectare compared to an acre? As we know an acre is 16 ft by one half of a mile. (2) How does a liter of wheat compare to a bushel (60 pounds in wheat) or a metric tonne (if I'm correct 2200 pounds or 1000 kgs)? Great video and I learned a few things I didn't know before such as the potatoes. I've been throwing my virtual money away. Who knew?
And the winner is!!!..... Grass! it grows twice a day turn it into silage and big booming price (PS: its a lot of work require seeding only once, cutting the grass with a mower, Then windmill the grass then harvest with a silage harvester. Drop the grass in the silage storage area. Compact it then cover it with the tarp. Wait half a day. Use a scooper and then drop it at the bioplant company.)
it really helped me because all i every did was silage and now a do a mixture of potatoes sugar beets and canola and wheat for the cows:) i really love your channel and hope to hope you do some tutorials on fs 17
As of writing this I am your newest subscriber! And this is my second comment to your channel. I was deeply shocked when I heard about your Monsanto GM story, I can't believe how a company can get away with screwing the small farmers like that, it makes me so angry - they have made a corporate blight disease which you can't stop, utterly shocking. I am pleased here in the UK GM crops are currently banned. Anyway back to the topic in hand I am finding your tutorials very useful and money saving in game, and I hope you will review farming sim '17 when it is released. All the best Arthur.
From a standpoint of taking all the factors in aside from just seed/harvest. Factor in the equipment. You have an excessive amount of equipment for beets, potatoes which means you would be loosing you're ass compared to corn and other combine harvested crops.
Monsanto doesn't actually sue farmers. They also didn't GM so they could find out if farmers are using their seed. They modified them to increase yields, and help farmers. Also, farmers using GE seeds don't save seeds, they buy new ones anyway. Food Inc. is a terrible documentary, and Monsanto is not a bad company.
after some more research, I found that when farmers purchase seeds from Monsanto, any seed, not just GMOs, they sign an agreement saying they won't save and regrow seeds. Monsanto does not sure for inadvertent crosspolination.
I know this is an old video, but the train station actually sells for more than it says. Sending the train gives you (i think) x0.5 price for the goods :) so it wins most of the time on the things that sell there :) same for the lumber yard. Unloading to the train and sending it yeilds more than the selling it in the water ;)
Yes. - actually the train station, even when its lower is still better because you get paid 2x, so you make DOUBLE. The changed that in FS17 though, and it no longer works.
Thanks for the videos Arthur I was using that same seeding machine that you are using for the video and it started turning my planting field back to the natural land scape any idea why I'm playing on Xbox one any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks
If that happens you are probably planting grass - grass will return the field to the way it was at the start. You will have to plow the grass up using the "create fields" option on the plow to recover the field.
hey great videos. really has helped me immensely. I have a small question tho. when making your wagon train. why did you use the green lil one at the front, and the rest are finkles? Thank you again for your hard work. I hope to see ya back in the field again soon.
+Arthur Chapman wow amazingly quick response too! wasn't sure cause I heard with trains you couldn't plug more than 2 of the same type together. I wasn't sure why, but its proven wrong right here.
Philip King No prob! As long as the hitches are compatible, there is no limit. I had friends get over 100 TMK bulls hooked together. It kept getting stuck on stuff though lol.
Hi new to your ch I'm going to be starting to play farm simulator 15 I just have a question what one do you recommend for me to start with this one and then work my way up or what can you please help me out
I would say silage is the best - I have several tutorails on silage in the tutorial playlist for 15 - that can be found here - ua-cam.com/play/PLHOIp7_VO933nRFG_mTb7H-1rPEA0ZoRO.html
can you please make the same video for FS17? Seems like lumber and silage don't pay as well as they did in 15, so crop MVP is even more important now. Thanks for all the great content!
Its a hard video to make, because the way they have the crops setup now, there is no clear winner. It depends on the day, and what you sold last. So one day its potatoes, and the next its wheat.
great video. would be interesting to figure out the best profit per hour per crop. taking into account the extra time needed to harvest potatoes and beets and also the higher cost for the harvesters
Multiple things here I have some ideas on. First off, 54:00 that fruit type is more than likely soybeans rather than peas unless you know the mod specifically adds peas. Second, I do have an issue with the fact you actually dropped off all the fruits at wildly varying prices rather than just finding the average price for each fruit and doing a little math. Also, doing something like leaving game, restarting, and using the threshed and seeded area stats in the session statistics to find the field size would help be more accurate. Not positive, but I believe there's another variable related to field size that's being missed somewhere( for instance, if fertilizer increases yield by a percentage). And yes I'm aware this is nearly a year old video lol.
You make the most at the freight yard, but it only takes grains. Sending the train off after dumping crops there adds a *ridiculous* percentage to your total.
@@Vbluguitar I meant as far as crops. It makes the highest price, no matter as far as where you sell if you opt out of doing silage. My brother will only mow for me for so long, no matter how much I'm willing to pay him.😂
You have to take into account the time to sow and harvest. At the highest level of technology in the game Canola, Wheat, Corn, and Barley have much wider tools and can be planted/harvested faster.
+Drew1231 This is a very good point. You also can't control the market. I recently had a situation where the price of sugar beets dropped so low, that the gain in volume earned me about 10 percent over what it would have been if I had grown wheat.
Well, it is not EXACTLY a zero cost for potato seeds because your yield goes down by the amount of potato you save for planting. So, you had a 600 difference between potato and sweet beets, if the potato you save for planting drop your yield by more than 600 then the sweet beets are actually better
Jim Jasutis yep, and the fact that IF you choose the smaller "tractor driven" harvester, the sugar beet harvester can top and harvest in one pass, but the potato setup requires a top pass and then a collecting pass because it doesn't line up right. The big expensive harvesters are the same though, so there is no difference there.
either way it goes, I make more money on canola then any other crop. once I make enough, I go straight to silage and that's where I make the big bucks. works every time for me. want me to show ya, you can add country3000 ps4. don't get me wrong but everyone has there own way. good video though
Mathematically Canola is worth 2x wheat, but produces less than 1/2 yield per acre, so it may "feel" like you are making more because the market price is higher, but unless you have a great demand, you are making less money than you would with wheat and barley. If you don't believe me, plant your field with wheat, harvest and sell it. Keep exact track of your income from the sales. The next day, use the same exact field and plant Canola. Compare it to your wheat sale. from the previous day. Mostly likely you will find (like I did in this video) that Canola has given you less money. Sometimes the market shifts, so this may not always be the case, but in general, you will almost always make less. The nice thing about Canola is that its easier to collect and transport as it has way less yield, so that can be a benefit, but from a strict "dollar per acre" formula, barley and wheat beat canola. Also wheat and barley leave straw which can be chaffed for silage and sold, so you get even better yields, but I left silage out of this video because its "different". If I get a PS4 eventually I will definitely add you! Happy farming.
+Arthur Chapman I know what ya mean but I tried both ways and still make money quicker with canola and then I go straight to silage. I tried with weather and it took me longer to get to silage but like I say, every one has there own opinion, right 😉
Sigh, Now you are going to make me make a video called wheat vs canola :) - I will post you a link when its done :) I am pretty sure wheat will win by a long shot, but maybe we will find that canola is better, hehe.
Good calculations, but I think you over-looked something. When plants have grown, they still have 3 stages they can be in, and i guess the last one yields the most, but i'm not completely sure.
No, that's not what i meant. If you look in the PDA, you'll see that there are 3 different colors for the fully grown stage. 3 different shades of green.
Dami Bang Ah! I don't believe the yield is any different, buy that is interesting... I think it is to let you know how close to a withered crop you are getting (a sort of warning system if you will). But I will look into it. Sadly it probably doesn't make a difference - just like the way the game handles different fertilizers as working exactly the same, I doubt they bothered putting that level of detail into the game.
qwertypresser It was definitely a close one! I actually had to go back and redo the end of the video when I found out that Potatoes could be refilled for free. In a way that was good because it made for a surprise winner.
Its been even harder since my wife ran off with someone else... but at least they are all nice kids. I am pretty strict, but also kind and involved, so as my kids grow up we have good relationships. My two oldest sons (18-20) are also my closest friends.
@@Vbluguitar i like the way you talk to your child and dont ignore her.(its also cute) Most people when streaming or doing videos ignore there kids and to me there ignorant. Im glad we have parents like you who treat everyone equally.
Arthur, I think you missed a point about this game- you have to watch the market prices just like in real life to maximize you crop profits. And, while I don't know a whole lot about farming, I think you have to rotate crops through your available fields or you risk depleting the nutrients in the soil. The game doesn't take that into account, nor does it take into account planting cover crops or fallow fields. But, it is just a game and not a real representation of farming after all. And, just so you know hectares are a unit of measure in the metric system. One hectare is a plot of land 100 meters by 100 meters, or 10,000 square meters. One hectare is just about equal to 2 1/2 acres. The word hectare is pronounced like "heck- tears," with "tears" sounding like "tearing a piece of paper or cloth." I notice you struggle with that word several times, so I looked it up for you (and myself.)
If you ever get the chance to play FS 17 or 19, try the seasons mod - it adds everything you are talking about - the need for crop rotation, cover crops, market price swings, seasons and so forth - check out my class farm series for an example of a seasons farm - ua-cam.com/play/PLHOIp7_VO932eRyDdv6y6flxsh6hG2XVP.html
Corn headers harvest sunflower.. the other redish one is some weird name.. sorgurhm or something to that effect.. I dont know what it is.. or how its spelled. I have a mod that lists the seeds names above the picture. I forget what the mod is called though.
On the Monsanto rant, you know that it's actually impossible for Monsanto to sue heritage farmers for their fields getting accidentally seeded right? The company sues based on the contract, if a farmer doesn't have a contract, Monsanto cannot sue them.
While I agree, this is more a look at direct value of the crops themselves, not including peripherals. If we followed your line of thinking we could also include chaffing the straw for silage and selling it, but that is also outside the bounds of this test.
I know this is a year old but I think you forgot something. everything you take to the freight yard and then send off the train you get extra money for sending the train.
I left the train out intentionally as it can add in issues like - some mod maps only have a grain train, and not potatoes or sugar beets, or visa versa - also the prices that the train pays for crops varies and is not listed in the sale sheet. In this video we are looking at direct selling and direct crops. We also left out stuff like the "REAL" value of wheat - for instance wheat can leave straw which can be chaffed and turned into silage, and then sold to the biogas plant. Hope that helps.
I can't believe it has been 6 years since it came out I remember it coming out yesterday and also that is an weird setup they had for time and all of the shit
I've made 24 million so far. My silo's are filled got me 🐄 🐑 🐔 Two green House's. Most of the map mowed grass. When I seed I seed all my fields.a 3 fields are grass. I've planted a s@#t load of fir tree's. Business is good on my fs 15 . ✌️💖
ThisIsChris My current server name is Arthur UA-cam, its running, but there isn't much there yet except a couple of mowers. I will let you guys know via video when its ready for multiplay. It's probably going to be sometime in September, as I am totally booked with work all month and don't have a lot of farm play time.
Daniel DeRosa They also help you steer if you have a heavy trailer. But the biggest thing is when running a plow or tractor mounted seeder (like the first one you get). The tractor will lift up (like a drag racer), so you need the weight to keep the front end on the ground.
Just to clarify, are you against GMOs, or against the buisness practices associated with them. The latter, I can kind of understand, the former I can't agree with.
I am against the business practices. As far as gmo seed goes, while its kinda scary to me, it hasn't been proven to have any side affects that I am aware of.
Grandpa's Gaming Happens to me too :) - you need 2 monitors, lol. I run a 2 screen set up for video editing. Its pretty cool. Once you 2 screen, you never go back.
+Arthur Chapman I know this video is about standard crops. But have you thought about using the straw from the wheat and barley to make silage. I feel that it would be interesting to see it as a part of the profit of the standard crop Maybe an extended video? :)

Everything he said about Monsanto was false. He was just parroting the misinformation generated by the organic industry.
Which mod did you get the different crops in the Horsch Pronto 28:59?
From a standpoint of taking all the factors in aside from just seed/harvest. Factor in the equipment. You have an excessive amount of equipment for beets, potatoes which means you would be loosing you're ass compared to corn and other combine harvested crops.
crops are measured in Kg, as they are sold per metric ton or 1000kg
NO Corn, Barley and so on... Are all Measured in Liters. Yes Liters are in the Metric system. but All Crops are Liters my friend
For all of the tractors that are to big to hook up to certain tippers. You can hook a weight on the back and then hook up to the tipper.
Very true. Just too lazy to run down to the shop, lol.
1. Potatoes
2. Sweet beets
3. Wheat
4. Barley
5. Canola
6. Corn

Well, thank you Chris. That is good to know. And yes, they don't allow heritage seeds (saving seeds from your crops).
Arthur Chapman it's a topic I find quite interesting, love yoi videos by the way, even though I don't actually own FS 15.
If you do decide to play FS, be sure to get the 17 version. Its much improved.
sounds great pal. but with all the mods you use lol 300 I think you said :) plus the downfall I have ps4 no PC! unless you would play a ps4 series :)
OHHHH, Yeah, I don't have a PS4. They don't cross platform for Multiplayer. Bummer.
I know this is an old video, but the train station actually sells for more than it says.

I would say silage is the best - I have several tutorails on silage in the tutorial playlist for 15 - that can be found here - ua-cam.com/play/PLHOIp7_VO933nRFG_mTb7H-1rPEA0ZoRO.html

Its a hard video to make, because the way they have the crops setup now, there is no clear winner. It depends on the day, and what you sold last. So one day its potatoes, and the next its wheat.
crops are in the USA anyway measured in bushels . it's weird they use metric system for measuring crop yield lol :)
+Justin La Porte in Europe yield is measured in either cubic meters per hectare OR in tons of dry mass per hectare, depending on the crop.
Ah ok.
great video. would be interesting to figure out the best profit per hour per crop. taking into account the extra time needed to harvest potatoes and beets and also the higher cost for the harvesters
+Alex Chapman Yeah, they definitely take longer to harvest.
I'm confused, which is not difficult. Why is everything on the farm measured in litres yet when it's bought from the supermarket it's in kilo's?
Mick
Papa Smurf That is the question of the century - my friend Jarod attempts to answer it here - ua-cam.com/video/lJyB2Vf5n8w/v-deo.html
Multiple things here I have some ideas on. First off, 54:00 that fruit type is more than likely soybeans rather than peas unless you know the mod specifically adds peas. Second, I do have an issue with the fact you actually dropped off all the fruits at wildly varying prices rather than just finding the average price for each fruit and doing a little math. Also, doing something like leaving game, restarting, and using the threshed and seeded area stats in the session statistics to find the field size would help be more accurate. Not positive, but I believe there's another variable related to field size that's being missed somewhere( for instance, if fertilizer increases yield by a percentage). And yes I'm aware this is nearly a year old video lol.
You make the most at the freight yard, but it only takes grains. Sending the train off after dumping crops there adds a *ridiculous* percentage to your total.
Yup, it doubles your income - Silage still make way more though.
@@Vbluguitar
I meant as far as crops. It makes the highest price, no matter as far as where you sell if you opt out of doing silage. My brother will only mow for me for so long, no matter how much I'm willing to pay him.😂
Another great video and also very interesting :-) Thanks
Peter H. Thank you sir!
You have to take into account the time to sow and harvest. At the highest level of technology in the game Canola, Wheat, Corn, and Barley have much wider tools and can be planted/harvested faster.
+Drew1231 This is a very good point. You also can't control the market. I recently had a situation where the price of sugar beets dropped so low, that the gain in volume earned me about 10 percent over what it would have been if I had grown wheat.
this game looks really good for its time
I agree
Well, it is not EXACTLY a zero cost for potato seeds because your yield goes down by the amount of potato you save for planting. So, you had a 600 difference between potato and sweet beets, if the potato you save for planting drop your yield by more than 600 then the sweet beets are actually better
+Jim Jasutis True that - there is a cost. Between the two they are REALLY close.
+Arthur Chapman So it comes down to which of them you can load onto a train on a particular map.
Jim Jasutis
yep, and the fact that IF you choose the smaller "tractor driven" harvester, the sugar beet harvester can top and harvest in one pass, but the potato setup requires a top pass and then a collecting pass because it doesn't line up right. The big expensive harvesters are the same though, so there is no difference there.
How to get money fast: Collect all coins sell canola on frieght yard when you can buy truck and tipper buy that sell all stuff in silo for best prizes
Great video helped me learn a lot although it was quite a long video
hehe. I try my best to keep it short, and fail miserably. anyway, glad to be of service.
Maybe you cod do a vid with 3 fields one with fertilizer one without. Also what about crop rotation?
Regards
Mick
Papa Smurf lol - what would I do with the 3rd?
Arthur Chapman I meant 2 fields, my finger slipped. (said the Bishop to the actress)
This is great news if I wouldn't have gone out purchased all the land and got all but 3 fields done
well, there is always next crop lol
either way it goes, I make more money on canola then any other crop. once I make enough, I go straight to silage and that's where I make the big bucks. works every time for me. want me to show ya, you can add country3000 ps4. don't get me wrong but everyone has there own way. good video though
Mathematically Canola is worth 2x wheat, but produces less than 1/2 yield per acre, so it may "feel" like you are making more because the market price is higher, but unless you have a great demand, you are making less money than you would with wheat and barley. If you don't believe me, plant your field with wheat, harvest and sell it. Keep exact track of your income from the sales. The next day, use the same exact field and plant Canola. Compare it to your wheat sale. from the previous day. Mostly likely you will find (like I did in this video) that Canola has given you less money. Sometimes the market shifts, so this may not always be the case, but in general, you will almost always make less. The nice thing about Canola is that its easier to collect and transport as it has way less yield, so that can be a benefit, but from a strict "dollar per acre" formula, barley and wheat beat canola. Also wheat and barley leave straw which can be chaffed for silage and sold, so you get even better yields, but I left silage out of this video because its "different". If I get a PS4 eventually I will definitely add you! Happy farming.
+Arthur Chapman I know what ya mean but I tried both ways and still make money quicker with canola and then I go straight to silage. I tried with weather and it took me longer to get to silage but like I say, every one has there own opinion, right 😉
Sigh, Now you are going to make me make a video called wheat vs canola :) - I will post you a link when its done :) I am pretty sure wheat will win by a long shot, but maybe we will find that canola is better, hehe.
+Arthur Chapman 😉
Your gonna laugh at the video I made :) - I think you will like the results.
Good calculations, but I think you over-looked something. When plants have grown, they still have 3 stages they can be in, and i guess the last one yields the most, but i'm not completely sure.
+Dami Bang You can only harvest them in the final stage - You cannot harvest during the growing stages.
No, that's not what i meant. If you look in the PDA, you'll see that there are 3 different colors for the fully grown stage. 3 different shades of green.
Dami Bang Ah! I don't believe the yield is any different, buy that is interesting... I think it is to let you know how close to a withered crop you are getting (a sort of warning system if you will). But I will look into it. Sadly it probably doesn't make a difference - just like the way the game handles different fertilizers as working exactly the same, I doubt they bothered putting that level of detail into the game.
Sweet Beets had their victory robbed from them! I demand a recount!
qwertypresser It was definitely a close one! I actually had to go back and redo the end of the video when I found out that Potatoes could be refilled for free. In a way that was good because it made for a surprise winner.
Six kids? That must be hard
Its been even harder since my wife ran off with someone else... but at least they are all nice kids. I am pretty strict, but also kind and involved, so as my kids grow up we have good relationships. My two oldest sons (18-20) are also my closest friends.
Ohh, im so sorry :(
its funny you talk about 3k subs when you have almost 13k
I know, its crazy!
i subed
43 k now lol😂😂😂
@@Vbluguitar i like the way you talk to your child and dont ignore her.(its also cute) Most people when streaming or doing videos ignore there kids and to me there ignorant. Im glad we have parents like you who treat everyone equally.
44K!
Arthur, I think you missed a point about this game- you have to watch the market prices just like in real life to maximize you crop profits. And, while I don't know a whole lot about farming, I think you have to rotate crops through your available fields or you risk depleting the nutrients in the soil. The game doesn't take that into account, nor does it take into account planting cover crops or fallow fields. But, it is just a game and not a real representation of farming after all.
And, just so you know hectares are a unit of measure in the metric system. One hectare is a plot of land 100 meters by 100 meters, or 10,000 square meters. One hectare is just about equal to 2 1/2 acres. The word hectare is pronounced like "heck- tears," with "tears" sounding like "tearing a piece of paper or cloth." I notice you struggle with that word several times, so I looked it up for you (and myself.)
If you ever get the chance to play FS 17 or 19, try the seasons mod - it adds everything you are talking about - the need for crop rotation, cover crops, market price swings, seasons and so forth - check out my class farm series for an example of a seasons farm - ua-cam.com/play/PLHOIp7_VO932eRyDdv6y6flxsh6hG2XVP.html
Corn headers harvest sunflower.. the other redish one is some weird name.. sorgurhm or something to that effect.. I dont know what it is.. or how its spelled. I have a mod that lists the seeds names above the picture. I forget what the mod is called though.
jtman04401 I think that is the right spelling - Cool to know about the sunflowers too. Thanks JT!
love his singing 😂😂😂
haha - Thanks!
Canola. Half the time. You can then grow twice as much. You do the math
How do you figure half the time? It takes the same time to grow, it's just a few minutes faster to harvest.
The liters is for the fuel not the load
I think the crops mesuure in kilo’s
On the Monsanto rant, you know that it's actually impossible for Monsanto to sue heritage farmers for their fields getting accidentally seeded right? The company sues based on the contract, if a farmer doesn't have a contract, Monsanto cannot sue them.
Yeah, I have been correct several times on this (just read the other comments). Thank you for the clarification.
You forgot to include part of the income that you can get from selling the straw from the cereal crops. That is part of the harvest too.
While I agree, this is more a look at direct value of the crops themselves, not including peripherals. If we followed your line of thinking we could also include chaffing the straw for silage and selling it, but that is also outside the bounds of this test.
Great Video!!
+unit11k9 Thank you sir!
Can you do a worst or best mod video XD
Finding the worst is hard because there are SOOO many bad ones lol.
oh thanks! =)
Glad to help Chuckwagon!
I know this is a year old but I think you forgot something. everything you take to the freight yard and then send off the train you get extra money for sending the train.
I left the train out intentionally as it can add in issues like - some mod maps only have a grain train, and not potatoes or sugar beets, or visa versa - also the prices that the train pays for crops varies and is not listed in the sale sheet. In this video we are looking at direct selling and direct crops. We also left out stuff like the "REAL" value of wheat - for instance wheat can leave straw which can be chaffed and turned into silage, and then sold to the biogas plant. Hope that helps.
how do you chafe straw?

Almost what... lol
how do u make your filed bigger
This video will show you both how to divide and expand (or Join) fields to make them larger - ua-cam.com/video/krfk2sYk5AY/v-deo.html
+Arthur Chapman thank u very much
+Arthur Chapman thank u very much
I can't believe it has been 6 years since it came out I remember it coming out yesterday and also that is an weird setup they had for time and all of the shit
It's "hectare". "Acre" isn't in the word and it's pronounced HECK-tare.
+georgianbents I see. From what I see on line its 60 percent larger than an acre.
I've made 24 million so far.
My silo's are filled got me 🐄 🐑 🐔
Two green House's. Most of the map mowed grass. When I seed I seed all my fields.a 3 fields are grass. I've planted a s@#t load of fir tree's. Business is good on my fs 15 . ✌️💖
IKR - too bad it doesn't work in new version of the game :(
how about canola?
Canola is dead last (its in the video) - Its got the highest value, but gives you the lowest yield.
How you fast the time
7 slower - 8 faster
how do u get so many great demands at once
Hehe - just lucky I guess
Lol and thank you for this, helps me a ton
Awe I like jou vidoes bro I play Iets tou my Vriende
Hiya Arthur. Just tried to join your server, well 3 days ago, and I'm still waiting for a password
Mick
Papa Smurf, where do you find his server, I have been waiting for it and I didn't realize its up!
Papa Smurf did you get the PM I sent you?
ThisIsChris My current server name is Arthur UA-cam, its running, but there isn't much there yet except a couple of mowers. I will let you guys know via video when its ready for multiplay. It's probably going to be sometime in September, as I am totally booked with work all month and don't have a lot of farm play time.
6 Kids?! God damn!
Hehe
Arthur Chapman omfg dude HOW DYA MAKE VIDS AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS ALL AT ONCE?!
if I could be in episode would live that its my wish
Coming soon - I am launching the FS server soon.
would like to see cotton added in to game I farmed for a while we grew cotton corn and alfalfa
I know that some maps have alfalfa (Lucerne). I think some of the mod maps have cotton too.
hello ist funny
I know weights stop you from tipping but really anything else?
Daniel DeRosa They also help you steer if you have a heavy trailer. But the biggest thing is when running a plow or tractor mounted seeder (like the first one you get). The tractor will lift up (like a drag racer), so you need the weight to keep the front end on the ground.
Just to clarify, are you against GMOs, or against the buisness practices associated with them. The latter, I can kind of understand, the former I can't agree with.
I am against the business practices. As far as gmo seed goes, while its kinda scary to me, it hasn't been proven to have any side affects that I am aware of.
A sound stance to have.
I only have one complaint, I can't watch without wanting to get in game myself!!!
Grandpa's Gaming Happens to me too :) - you need 2 monitors, lol. I run a 2 screen set up for video editing. Its pretty cool. Once you 2 screen, you never go back.
oh come on I bet 500
The most valuable is silage
Silage is just plain broken in 15. Its way too OP
14k subs now wow
IKR - :)
what about biogas?
This video is referencing standard crop sales only.
+Arthur Chapman
I know this video is about standard crops.
But have you thought about using the straw from the wheat and barley to make silage. I feel that it would be interesting to see it as a part of the profit of the standard crop
Maybe an extended video? :)
That is a very good and valid point. Do you know how much I wish you could update videos on UA-cam Luke you can on vimeo?
they use litres cause the game is made here in europe where we use litres ;)
hehe - actually, I think most of the world uses litres now.
barley
Mon$anto is so greedy, thety experiment with our food! Evil!
agreed - its dang scary stuff.
Yeah, americans should be allowed to change the liters to gallons.
Ah, yeah - most games allow you to be fully metric or fully imperial, but not this game.
Janne Laitinen Or bushels. Still doesn't make sense to me how amount on hand is measured by volume but sale price is given by weight.
ha he said overloading instead of unloading
