WHAT IS THE MOST PROFITABLE CROP?? - Farming Simulator 25

[@SDFerke]

Ranked order profits minus expenses from Farmer cop: 1. Poplar 2. Grass silage (with 4th cut) 3. Carrots 4. Sugar beets 5. Parsnips 6. Spinach 7. Hay (with 4th cut) 8. Corn silage 9. Sugar cane 10. Potato 11. Red beets 12. Grass (with 4th cut) 13. Rice 14. Cotton 15. Barley (with straw) 16. Wheat (with straw) 17. Oats (with straw) 18. Peas 19. Soybeans 20. Green beans 21. Corn 22. Sorghum 23. Sunflower 24. Canola 25. Long grain rice 26. Olives 27. Grapes 28. Barley 29. Wheat 30. Oats Notes: You can cut grass 4 times (dont wait for 2nd harvest ready stage) a year but this might be unintended and might be patched later. Ranked order prices are based on normal economic difficulty and the highest price possible on Riverbend springs pricelist. The expenses are: seeds, fertilizer and lime. (some crops only use 1 layer of fertilizer and/or dont need lime) Give the video a like if you read this, this list could only be made thanks to Farmer Cop's findings and hard work!

[@bradtyson]

Why would you not be able to cut grass 4 times a year??? 😂😂😂

[@renelopez8605]

Instead of being unnecessarily obnoxious, i mean no disrespect but there are ways to ask these questions with respect. I believe hes trying to say that you get the full yield on the 2nd stage rather than waiting for the 3rd stage, in the other games you have to wait the 3 stages for maximum yield, thats probably why he said it would be patched, cause the game should work in that way that you'd only be able to harvest 3x per year.

[@Seaking6464]

Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for linking the spreadsheet!

[@Big.Kev.3.0]

I'm definitely leaning towards cotton. Yes, it's a bit more expensive up front but it's a harvest that you can just set a hired worker on by themselves and not have to deal with it until you're ready to go pick up the bales. Get yourself a few greenhouses, a free water source and you'll easily be making back what you initially spent getting it all set up and just raking in profit year by year in no time.

[@GamerGrannyTana]

Hi, you where wondering about the difference between your poplar harvest and the numbers of the xml file. This 3x difference is due to the fact, that you don't harvest poplar but woodchips. The "fruitTypeConverter", that you can also find in the xml files is exactly 3x from poplar to woodchips.

[@DisTurbedSimulations]

This, I think (current testing) the bio baler gives you that lower yield Edit: bio baler is also getting the bonus conversation of x3

[@maga2025-d2t]

The video I have been waiting for thank you farmer cop

[@delvantepeterson8892]

Oats are a good crop that grows decently quick and you can get 2 harvest off a year (without seasons). If you swath, harvest, and sell the straw. It’s a decent money maker.

[@dr.bherrin]

Oats are the best flour to make too compared to the other grains.

[@martinwhite3005]

I would assume with seasons you can sneak a grass harvest in-between oat harvest. I'm doing oats until I got good cash. its easy to do with AI workers.

[@danish994]

If you plant oats early, you can harvest them in the last month you can plant carrots, that means you can doubble crop them with seasons on, and you would earn 59k with many many more productions to blow up your earnings even more than grass. The same goes for barley, tho it is ready to harvest 1 month earlier, so you can do that with 4 crops total

[@bryanwilliams7380]

And plant grass after carrots and you can get 1 cut of grass in March for silage! Technically triple cropping!

[@thilokm522]

Thanks for taking the time and actually doing this right

[@Isleguy57]

This is my first time actually purchasing and owning farming simulator. I decided to run the game on hard with everything volatile. Has got to be the most frustrating/humbling game I’ve played. You have to have a bunch of patience.

[@sinfullxx1]

Thanks for clarifying that you purchased it and now in fact own it

[@filip1117s]

before watching : corn for silage , vegs( if u have cannery ) or grains ( if u have mill and bakery to make bread ).... but still best way to get money imo are greenhouses supplying Kimchi production ( water for free from ur rice field and u can expand ur greenhouse water tank by parking water tank near it )

[@dr.bherrin]

My testing says Kimchi is worth less than selling the crops used to make it separately.

[@sahildobariya8234]

Just sell lettuce. Right it's very profitable in green house. You can sell directly. Passive income for delivery water.

[@chrisjones6002]

lettuce is nice and easy. You can get free water by building a tiny rice field too. I saw it on another FC video.

[@filip1117s]

​@@dr.bherrin prices for normal diff. 20k cabbage 14200$ 2k garlic 1800$ 2k green onion 1800$ 2k chili 1800$ so if u would just sold at max price u would get $19.6k , meanwhile u are getting 42k of kimchi which u can sell for $50,4k... meanwhile if u would want to farm there lettuce and sold it u would get aprox $27-29k ( output is simmilar to rest )

[@sahildobariya8234]

@@filip1117s what about cycle per month count in your calculations ? Profit per month or year

[@techdirector5491]

I think, possibly my favorite crop is cotton (at least in FS22). It is really easy to run up a production chain and you can include sheep into that chain easily.

[@slowbutsure504]

Cotton dose make a lot of money, for very little effort.

[@TheOneTrueGriswel]

@@techdirector5491 only downside I feel playing on Cotton is the harvesters do take a long time. On a big field even with two harvesters start a worker and go make coffee or dinner.

[@JBGOTGAME]

Yeah soybeans and cotton rotation really does help Improved the yields on both crops

[@americanbigfoot7881]

As someone who has regularly done poplar I’ve always planted the full field and never left the gaps. So good to know that poplar is the most profitable 😂

[@dr.bherrin]

Corn silage can be put into the Goweil to make it into bales. You do still have to wait for it to turn to silage, but it's much easier to transport and you don't need a bunker. In fact, any crop that you can chaff will work with the Goweil to make bales and sell as silage.

[@deansartorelli564]

Running 3 computers just to tell us the info 💪🏻👊🏻👌 Thanks dude 🙏

[@Shiftry87]

I´m playing on easy economy and while i havent tried as mutch as this i have found that if u have a large field then Suger Beets is a very good option. I´m playing on the 3rd basegame map and bought the largest field that is around 9 hectar with the field itself maybe 7.5 hectar and if we include the field price (550.000), leasing cost (60-70k) and field at 97% yield bonus i made back about 75% of those costs from just the first harvest. With the harvester being so expensive u need big fields or alot of small fields to justify Suger beats but so far with a 75% return on the first harvest on easy economy i would say thats easily worth it.

[@dr.bherrin]

Yeah, I don't think anyone would argue that sugar beets are high profit...but they'd argue the profit isn't worth the work, not just harvesting but storing until you want to sell, then loading them and getting them sold. And while there are ways to do it that make it a bit less work, it all requires expensive equipment.

[@idkProduction10]

Just play on Normal economy, you won't be ranking so much profit...

[@radtk004]

I truly appreciate the amount of time you put in these videos

[@simonmallet5212]

I'm planting rice on my 2 small (ish) fields. Does take a while to get it in the ground and out again, but owning 2 planters and 2 harvester for under $230k is I think really nice. But when you start to include the cost to plant a field.. I think they're very profitable. 1 rice green house has made enough saplings in my first 8 months to plant 3 hectres of land, for the price of water from the rice field.

[@chrisjones6002]

How is it working the rice fields, can the AI do all the work if needed?

[@simonmallet5212]

Yep, except turn the water on and drive a vehicle to unload the harvester.

[@TheOneTrueGriswel]

Only trouble with grass silage, which is always very relaxing, is there’s just one unmarked mower for swathing, and I don’t think there’s a bale wrapper, so you’re stuck doing four passes. Also, I always loved cotton for the production chain, goes great with raising sheep

[@oddiethefox5832]

What mower is the unmarked mower?

[@noratorical]

There is a John Deere bale wrapper at the round bale section

[@shadowstrik3rx]

great vid really helped me decide what to place first

[@zipperfish1983]

Would you be able to do a video about damage on harvesters and equipment if it effects yield or if there is a loss, and if there is a loss is it negligible or do you need to keep equipment in good order?

[@felixblauensteiner3503]

In FS22 the problem with damaged equipment was that it lost some horsepower the more damaged it got.

[@dr.bherrin]

If your header is damaged, at 25% it starts to lose yield. The combine just loses power. Nothing else will affect your yield being damaged. And beware that wear and damage are two different things. Wear is just cosmetic, it's paint. Damage is the part that affects how things operate. Also, the older something is combined with the number of hours on it increases how quickly it gets damaged. At 50 hours you will start to see the damage going up very fast, it's going to cost a lot to keep it maintained.

[@SnapshotHoffy]

Another great example of why your the best.

[@zegamerz1980]

Well, your yield vs the games yield/Ha gives a consistent surface of 1.05 Ha, not 1.15 (1.046 Ha to be precise), so everything seems consistent IMO. The only deviations are on the long grain rice, sugarcane (~0.85 Ha, not sure why) and grapes and olives, where one can only assume they expect more rows on the same surface (~0.5 Ha)

[@SimSheriff]

I thought the price for wood chips seemed very high too, so I went back into FS22 and compared and the prices you've shown on normal economy are exactly the same in the previous game. Maybe you just remember the price being lower but in FS22 a normal economy which shows at its highest price is £973 and on easy it's £1622 same as FS25

[@simonmallet5212]

Maybe the yield has changed either for Poplar per unit or the wood chip yield from processing then?

[@nobullfarming]

FC did his profit testing on No Man's Land, which had custom pricing on some stuff including wood chips, which made them worse. From Platinum Expansion onwards, Woodchips were always awesome!

[@randomlife718]

Glad I stuggled with contracts and started a 9 acre cotton field in one go. The $25k harvester lease is well worth it.

[@NeoTheSeventh]

Very helpful indeed, tks a lot! What is the cheapiest equipment for poplar, pls?

[@mattparro9887]

That field is roughly .9 ha - If you make it into a wet rice field it tells you the ha of the area vs the area of the land owned.

[@panzer622]

Thanks for all the work on this. In 22 Sorghum can be turned into silage like corn and grass. I wonder if that would make it higher up the list? What is the console command to set a fruit type on a field?

[@ratonbox]

It’s woodchips based on the work needed and results.

[@WawakGuitar]

Just a thought, If you had a very small field, like 1/4 acre. you could have had time to do all the steps manually.

[@Xariann]

That much time with 3 PCs, you are dedicated! Thanks for the testing.

[@Thedude-182]

I wanted to make a custom field on the farm on Riverbend Springs, so I had to cut down like a million trees and I decided that I will chop them up and make them into wood chips, I sold the wood chips at highest price on easy difficulty ... long story short and +19 gameplay hours later i was sitting at over 2mil. It is very very VERY labor intensive and absolute painful but it pays off

[@dr.bherrin]

Yeah, the reason poplars make so much money is that they need woodchips to have a high value do to the work it takes cutting tress and making chips. If poplar was it's own product, they would be worth less. Probably should be the way to do it honestly, having poplar be it's own product.

[@cooltechdreamer]

Thanks for the hard work and time spent on this!

In my playing grapes/olives are better used in production to make other products rather than selling outright. Definitely not to be used as a main source of income.

[@dreweboygaming]

[@MoonHowlerGaming]

Thank you FC for the hard work. Very happy subscriber over here. If I may submit 'a request. Is it possible to use AI workers in tandem on the same field effectively. Corseplay did an excellent job and I hope they come to FS25, but at the moment it feels like I can only have 1 AI worker on the field at a time so it is very time consuming, esspecially on the 9HA field I've got. Different equipment have various working widths, so I have to wait for the first guy to finish because the second one might start working areas where the first one hasn't finished yet.

[@TheOneTrueGriswel]

In fs22 I would mow, then wait for it to grow and mow again sometimes three times to make bailing efficient. Tried that here, and because there was grass sitting on the grass it never grew. Not sure that rolling has the same effect, but it might be related.
