You are my most trusted source of Farm Sim info. Thanks, man. Keep it up.

[@ElbooGaming210]

This was actually really helpful I'm new to fs22 and I was struggling and this really helped thank you

[@jacktavius5015]

Really enjoying all these videos! Please keep making more of these!

[@GulfCoastTim]

Same. These are good videos.

[@blackdadgaming6944]

These videos take me back to your first video explaining these samethings in fs19. Keep up the excellent work 👏 👍🏾 👌 💪 🙌

[@txtgamercattxt8117]

Are u a father?

[@KingAlpha1]

Your the best thx for all the tutorials

[@michaelgoodwin80]

The best animal that I have had any sort of decent return on my investment in, was chickens. Well, I guess you could say bees, since they are in the Animals tab, too

[@Pillock25]

3:20 I hope there will be a mod which separates the floating markers from the yellow and black ground markings.

[@AlexMorals]

Thank you so much for your tutorial

[@NoLifeRC]

If you put down a manure help extension is the silos tab it will give you manure for cows and pigs!!! Has to be extension only says so in help menu

[@dancharak6300]

Great video thank you. I tend to go and purchase straw from the shop. It says in the menu wheat straw but when I use the mixer to mix it then go to store it in my silo l, when I dump it, it says soy straw. And my pigs won't take it. Can you help?

[@dubsslushyx7336]

So i have a Question: I bought the second pig pen how do i get the water to that one cause it doesn’t have those Fodder dryer so what do i do?

[@magshype]

excellent guide

[@robert7624]

Great video

[@curtislong5879]

Pigs do produce manure you must purchase a manure heap separate and put straw in the pen. Just a heads up for bio gas plant

[@GulfCoastTim]

I did not know this, thanks for sharing this info.

[@danielphillips1295]

Thanks for sharing this. The in-game docs said you could get manure from pigs. Wasn't sure if that was mistake.

[@jamesnicks5367]

10:15 Beautiful voice break 😂

[@joshuaquick5511]

Nice video as always. Just two questions: A-How do you produce Sorghum? B-For someone relatively new, which animal would you recommend raising between: pigs or cows?

[@y33t23]

Sorghum is just grown like any other grain, and cows are easier to take care of as they need less materials, you just need to take the milk away

[@FarmerCop]

Sorghum is like any other grain (I have a video out on it as well) and I would say pigs between those two

[@nickfennema9119]

As far as I can tell they eat more money daily than they increase in value? They eat like $60-75 a day and only increase in value $25/day.....

[@ElbooGaming210]

I was gonna do cows but than I said pigs so now I don't know what I will farm in fs

[@durwoodthegiant4421]

I think giants figured that out and made slurry and manure far more profitable. At least mod maps do. Methane and electricity is worth so much money if you use the modular BGA. Pigs make slurry fastest when you have them at 100% I’m pretty sure. I usually get my cows up and going steady and then I’ll add pigs later on just to add more slurry production. As long as I have enough extra money to buy fields to support the pigs food then it doesn’t really hinder me too bad. They won’t start making a profit until the slurry tank fills up all the way though.

[@Rumblestrip]

Heard you could get manure from barns with a manure extension out of silos

[@Necrosis_Gaming]

That is correct just tried it out yesterday. You must use a silo extension next to the barn. The manure heap does not work.

[@FarmerCop]

NavyBlue is right, you can just make sure you use the extension

[@ziga204]

@@FarmerCop hey one question, i have cow pen, and i bought an liquid manure storage. Do i always need to transport manualy or does it do automatic if i put it closer to the pen? Do you maybe know the answer.

[@cavemanbonk8320]

@@ziga204 i think it needs to be a a silo extension to fill up automatically

[@y33t23]

Which age to sell the pigs for best profit?

[@dabbyduck517]

Wait we don’t get manure from the barns even if we give them straw??

[@Black_world_03251]

Very very very detailed video

[@sgregg5257]

I do think that pigs should be re-done. A sow should produce between 8 -10 piglets in three months after breeding. So if you bought two pigs of breeding age, and take care of them. Then in a year you should have at least 16-20 more pigs since a sow can liter twice a year. As it is, pigs take a long time to really turn a profit. its one of those business units that can get forgotten amongst units that turn higher profit faster.

[@wintersoldier7407]

where are you getting your 4 trailers full or produce? am I able to buy it from somewhere or do I have to grow everything?

[@FarmerCop]

You can get it from a buy anything silo mod in the modhub

[@Symplectics]

How come whenever i drive up to unload food/straw to my pig pens it says this action can not be done here or “barley” is not accepted here. Any help?

[@morganthedeereman1340]

Those krampee trailers you should use for rocks

[@rileybeal2019]

Hey farmer cop! I love your videos(: I have a question, where is the straw trigger for the cow pasture? I drove circles around it and cannot put straw in anywhere !

[@fallenjedi4779]

This is just a guess but if it's anything like the pig pasture then it doesn't require straw like the barns

[@Neonidas5652]

If there isn't a "straw" bar in the animal menu at that cow pasture, it doesn't need straw.

[@Just_random03]

what is the name of the straw weagon? the weagon you used to put the straw in the cillar thing!

[@GaryParkin]

Loving your videos Farmer Cop. Is it worth raising pigs just for the slurry? I know I can purchase slurry but i wanted to source my own.

[@FarmerCop]

Not sure i know they produce a lot but i havent tested that angle

[@GaryParkin]

@@FarmerCop From what I can tell from reading the forums, you can only sell pigs. You cannot play "this little piggy went to market" because of Giants' child rating on violence, language and alcohol. I truly understand the drugs and booze, but food is a natural thing. :) It's not my call, and I'll support them for protecting the kids. I'm making my own dry fertilizer in a plant and I wanted a way to get lots of slurry and manure. I may test this and see if raising animals for their poop will be covered by the sale of fertilizer and the plant to make it. :) The Multi Crop Greenhouses Pack by GH66Mods is a goldmine if you want to have factories year around.

[@jasonwiswell41]

6:27. You say you cannot get manure from pigs You can if you use a manure heap extension and set it close by. Manure will build in it

[@FarmerCop]

When the game was released you could not get manure from pigs, you can now however

[@roadtrain5910]

i got 3 questions where's the list of foods in animals (at the 5:53 minute section of your video) and what is protein?

[@FarmerCop]

Its in the main menu in the animal section and proteins are soy, canola, or sunflowers

[@gingersoulgamer957]

Got the game, hated the game, watched your videos and I love the game

[@BMWE-hm7uz]

Never understood why you would buy animal transport. It would cost roughly 5000 to automatically fill up the biggest pen with pigs but costs 80000 to buy the transport. Youd have to have 12 pens filled for it to cost the same. And thats without factoring in the cost for 11 other pens. Then youve got the time to factor in there of driving to and from the animal dealer and loading/unloading. Maintenance costs for that on both the tractor and trailer unit. Affects the length of time for the "business" to become profitable with that cost. Youre already 80000 drawdown, compared to only 5k with automatic pen filling. Leasing may is likely the best option if youre looking at filling 3 or more pens (havent seen the leasing costs)

[@troyganator338]

Does anyone know the limit on how much slurry the pigsty can hold?

[@Cirkyz]

In the bottom of your info screen for the pigs it say what crop you need for what % is that a mod or a setting. in my game it onley show al the things you can feed them.

[@FarmerCop]

Thats the field info setting i believe

[@dreadsguns]

Hey when your pen is full can you transport them to another pen?

[@FarmerCop]

Yes :)

[@BlakeHendershottt]

If you put max pigs in the area will you still be able to sell the extra or what will happen?

[@FarmerCop]

If the pen is full you will not get any new pigs

[@S0K0N0MI]

Do pigs actually turn a profit, or is the expense of all the food they require of more value if sold directly?

[@FarmerCop]

I have not tested it yet

[@beegekhaos3171]

Does anyone know the most profitable age at which to sell them at?

[@shaunbingham3667]

When is the best time to sell a pig?

[@MrDerp83]

I went to feed my pigs in the pig pasture. I put in potatoes until it stopped. I then went to add corn and it would not let me. I looked at the menu for pigs and it looks like there is a limit on the total amount of food. Is that how it works now? You have to pay attention to the quantity of each food type you put in?

[@Necrosis_Gaming]

Look at the bottom of the list in the animal tab, there it says the percentages for the effectiveness. But the tank can only hold a certain amount overall. So if you filled the entire thing with potatoes your only getting 5% production. Have to balance the needed food with the overall container size.

[@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un]

Take a shot for every time he says "satisfy" lol

[@lonewolfalmighty2203]

Any ideas why my pigs in the large shed run around outside of the shed/paddock and in my farm yard?

[@FarmerCop]

Its a glitch, should be fixed with the new update to the game

[@R3ZZHD]

do pigs need straw?

[@adrianmyson4773]

Top job thanks for explaining to the idiot I am great job

[@skylinenash1979]

How do you get the pigs out of the trailer into the pens I've tried everything I can think off.

[@Neonidas5652]

Drive the trailer to the marker you use to buy the pigs, you should get a prompt from there or you might have to get out and click the marker there.

[@eliodonkers1879]

how much will you get from 1 pig

[@MartyCantrell]

Makin' Bacon!

[@cjcoveco]

What do you do with the pig food purchased from the store.? For it’s just a crate

[@FarmerCop]

You can pull next to it with a trailer and load it in or take the pallet to the pig pen and it will unload when you are in the feed trigger area

[@ruben3434]

@@FarmerCop if i drop food next to the silo it wont go in the silo

[@mx4danx]

How do you transport from dealer? I'm unsure how and where to go to collect

[@FarmerCop]

Just go to the spot on the map labeled animal dealer, pull a trailer in the trigger area which is marked, then hit R on PC to interact with the menu.

[@spatrompete2601]

So is 9 month the best time to sale pigs ? Or should I wait ?

[@FarmerCop]

I am not sure yet, I do want to do some testing into the animals a little more

[@sprigflower]

I have the second largest pig pen. It does not accept bales, nor round nor square. I have no problem with crops or other pig food, just bales. Anyone else with the same problem? Any Ideas how to solve?

[@FarmerCop]

Pigs dont eat anuthing that would be in the form of a bale, they do not consume hay, grass, straw, or silage

[@zcsaba77]

Hi. Pig pasture can produce manure? How to add straw for pigs?

[@zcsaba77]

because I put manure heap close and nothing happen 😕

[@FarmerCop]

Pasture wont require straw and make sure you placed the correct manure heap. There is a manure heap and a mamure heap extension, i believe you need the extension

[@TheOnlyDamack]

I have a manuer holder down however it never fills up. They all have straw and hay. Am I missing something?

[@dhuber666]

I second that question. How to pick up the manure or how does it move to the manure holder?

[@DavidSmith-pu3gy]

Where did you put the straw for pigsty? I have been unable to get it into the pen. No mater where I unload it it goes on the ground outside the pen

[@Necrosis_Gaming]

You HAVE to use a manure EXTENSION not the heap. Two different sections in the construction menu.

[@FarmerCop]

NavyBlue is absolutely correct make sure you use the extension

[@noahneumeister426]

Is there a way to remove crops from the pigsty?

[@FarmerCop]

Not after you have put them in

[@giorgioantonioninniriva633]

so there's no pig food production?

[@FarmerCop]

No not in base game, you "make" pig food by feeding the items to the pigs

[@boostedgoldrush1196]

Do you the bigger pens need water

[@FarmerCop]

Nope, only pastures need water

[@MrRob2jr]

Is this for PS4 too?

[@GulfCoastTim]

It sure is available for PS4

[@FarmerCop]

Yes :)

[@envy2232]

how about manure from pigs?

[@Necrosis_Gaming]

Place a "Manure extension heap" and place next to the shed. Only shed works not open pasture. You cannot use a normal manure heap, has to be extension.

[@exvert8395]

What if i used a pig food bigbag

[@FarmerCop]

That would work as well :)

[@Aaron-gl3zt]

What map is this?

As much as I'm enjoying this game I hope someone makes a mod to turn off those trigger icons. They break the immersion for me.

Are you on about the blue icons. FC shows you how to turn them off in the menu at 03:20

[@rbarrett0897]
