In Farming Simulator 22, one main source of income is growing crops. All crops can be grown, harvested, and sold. Each crop type has a unique look and some require specialised equipment to grow and harvest them.
Crops can also be used in the new production chains to produce other goods for increased profits. If you do not own these production facilities, you can still sell them your crops.
Certain crops are stored in silos. Some silos require an auger to move grain into or out of the silo.
| A comparison chart of all crops is here in the Crop Comparison page. |

Steps[]
Cultivating[]
To begin the growing process, the field has to be prepared for sowing. This can be done by using a Cultivator or a Plow. Fields containing root crops such as potatoes, corn, and sugar beet must be plowed after harvesting. Other crops only require cultivating after each harvest, with plowing only necessary after a number of harvests.
Sowing[]
Fill up your seeder with the seeds you just bought at the Store, then head to the field. Select the crop you want, lower the seeder, turn it on and seed the cultivated/ploughed field until the entire field is sowed.
Fertilzing and Lime[]
Fertilizing a field will improve its yield. Bags of fertilizer can be bought from the store like seeds. Once you have purchased the fertilizer and relevant machinery you can head to the field and start spreading. One pass will give you 50% fertilization. You will need to come back at a later date when the crop has grown more to apply a second round.
Lime also improves yield. If you need it repeat the above after emptying the fertilizer spreader. Note lime only needs to be done every 3 seasons and does not need multiple passes.
Weeds[]
Weeds will grow on the field and you must remove these to prevent a loss of yield. To do this you need a Weeder or a Sprayer. To use the weeder simply go over the field with it lowered and activate the spreader, this can only be done in the first stage of growth otherwise you need to use the sprayer and fill it with Herbicide, then spray the field contaminated with weeds.
Harvest[]
Now to harvest the crop, you will need to attach you header to your combine, lower the header and get to work. Once your grain tank is full, you will need to empty it into your trailer which can be done by pulling along side the combine, extendending the pipe on the combine and it will fill your trailer. This can be placed into your Grain Silo if you have one or sold straight away by driving to the relevant market.
Selling[]
You will need to sell your grain now so fill up your trailer and have a look at the best selling point on screen. Crop prices vary throughout the year so it might be a good idea to wait and keep it in the silo until a better time.
