I've done the first method and followed it to get the same results and it's quick, simple and easy.

    I didn't realise that herbicide spraying effects the yield bonus, i suppose it encourages you to go fully organic where you need to use manure and slurry or solid/liquid digestate along with weed raking but if they grow to big raking becomes ineffective in which case you would need to harvest with weeds in the crop seriously effecting yield bonus.

  • @roadwary56
    @roadwary56 4 місяці тому

    That was awesome. I've always gotten 98% and have done all the steps as indicated but there must be an order issue, so back to the drawing board for a little readjustment. Didn't know you could weed without visible weeds. That's really cool because waiting for the weeds to push up can be tricky, depending on our time setting the weeds can get into the hoe/medium or boom right into the large/spray stage. That pre-empting them is a great tip. I'm sure I'll be getting 100% now. Thanks...2 years later.

    It’s also worth noting that if you’ve cultivated your field and weeds have grown before you seed, and your seeder is capable of applying fertilizer, the fertilizer WILL be used from your seeder but will not be applied to the field

  • @Torkkar

  • @cybersteel8
    @cybersteel8 5 місяців тому

    Hey, good video! I love straight-to-the-point videos. Well done.
    I have a question though, what is the point of the seedbed state of a farm? If that doesn't contribute to yield, does it perform any function? There are multiple ways to plow and cultivate but it seems like they're all just flavour if you can just do it like you demonstrated to get to 100%. Weird that there's a bunch of complexity with no substance.

  • @xsoberx4521
    @xsoberx4521 2 роки тому +4

    Thank you for doing this. Awesome job. Future farmers stating out will appropriate this. Good tip with the oil seed radish. Will have to test that out. I found mulching is 2% without that step you only get 98%

    • @HarvsWorld
      @HarvsWorld  2 роки тому +1

      Yeah, I think FS22 does some odd rounding sometimes. Extensive testing concluded that mulching is 3%, and then the 101% issue comes in. Thanks bud!

  • @johnlarsen9576
    @johnlarsen9576 2 роки тому +1

    You can line and fertilize at the same time using the Knverland fertilizer spreader from the mod hub run that over the field first then you can mulch plow cultivate all at once I haven't had any good luck combining a roller with anything the helpers don't seem to be able to properly turn around

    Would love to see an update on this for the Precision Farming mod! I also believe herbicide gives a flat 2% penalty no matter what, so even if you used it on a field with no weeds (for some reason), you'd still catch a deduction.

    In my case as a noob farmer, I harvested wheat, I did not have a plough needed status (I don’t think) so I fertilised, mulched, fertilised then seeded. But the seeder would not seed on a mulched field, it would only seed once I had plowed. Maybe the field status on the map said I needed to plow, I didn’t check there, only checked the small field info box when standing in the field.

    • @iain8837
      @iain8837 2 роки тому

      Reply to myself for fellow noobs, seeding can only be done on a ploughed or cultivated field. With the 9m Lizard plough, it's fast and easy. With a "normal" small plough, then a cultivator would probably be quicker.

    so .. . if I disk instead of cultivate I can forget rolling as no stones are generated and around 2,5% yield bonus, I skip mulch as well and overall I loose around 5% yield bonus. I loose round 2.5% of my overall harvest by skipping 2 steps.
    Then for grains after first run that needs plowing I just need to lime(every 3rd harvest), fertilize, disk, seed, fertilize, weed, wait, harvest, collect straw(depending on crop) and can skip 2 steps for 2.5% harvest impact.
    I get it that rolling is relatively fast and necessary for small stones, but disk is not much slower than shallow cultivator.
    This would help lower preparation times on big fields with minimal impact on yield.

    Very helpful. I followed exactly. One question, I have two fields, one of wheat and one of corn that are saying they need lime and rolling, but the crops are growing. How do I do that without damaging the crops? Do I just turn off field damage?

    Hey Harv you remember your tutorial you did for fs19 it was a walk through for raven port I think but it was like 10 parts to it talking about the mods to use and all for beginners so you have one for fs22 ?? It was so helpful

    Why fertilize twice? Never needed to do that in FS17. I just got FS22 (free from Epic), so I'm new to it.

      Each one gives +23% to yield and you are able to do it twice to get +46% in total.

    Hi Harv. Thank you for this video. Can you tell me the steps for when I'm using the Oilseed Radishes? I'm little confused about the order to do them in. Right now, I'm liming my field. What do I do after this? Thanks.

    I just skipped plowing and still got 100% bonus. I'd say its not necessary unless the field is red in soil composition "needs plowing"
