Wheat (Farming Simulator 17)
Crops
In Farming Simulator 17; one of your main sources of income is growing, harvesting, and selling crops in order for you to make a living as a farmer. In this game, you can choose to grow all the crops available in Farming Simulator 15, plus a few new sorts of crops:
- Wheat
- Barley
- Corn
- Canola
- Grass
- Potatoes
- Beets
- Soybeans (new)
- Sunflower (new)
- Oilseed Radish (new)
- Poplar (new)
Every type has its own unique features like profitability, average gain per hectare, etc. Since you can influence the prices for each crop on the market by selling one crop (price drop), or selling an opposite crop (price increase), it's best to grow a variety of them, with the exception of Poplars and Oilseed Radishes.
Forestry is unlike your conventional way of farming, but it's certainly profitable! It can be done on a small scale with a chainsaw, tractor and log trailer.
Another way is to use a wood chipper, and last but not least: the Forestry harvester. A special machine that cuts down trees, removes branches and cuts logs at a length of your choosing.
