GROWING POPLARS - TUTORIAL - Farming Simulator 25

[@cluelessboi1459]

Just FYI the AI worker can plant poplar with no gaps if you set the working width to 1.2m!

[@samuraidriver4x4]

I planted 2,5ha of poplars today and couldn't get it below 1.4m for the AI🤔

[@cluelessboi1459]

@ That’s odd because I got it down to 1.2m were you using any mods?

[@samuraidriver4x4]

@@cluelessboi1459 vanilla playthrough. Using guided steering I can drop it down to a meter. Wasn't a big deal, most of it got covered and just cheated in the gaps, took long enough😂

[@chrisjones6002]

It still leaves some gaps you can fill if you really want to. It gives you about 15- 20% more in my experience but its not really worth the time.

[@jiunnrongshen8176]

As long as the forward path is aligned between the two wheels of the planter, the entire field can be planted completely seamlessly. Although it takes time, it is definitely worth it.

[@tjakko4659]

Why didn't you show the special baler to harvest the populars? That seems to be a low budget option

[@empathyxiii]

The special baler is not worth it, it might be cheap compared to using the forage harvester but with every single bale that is made, it’ll shut itself off and raise up, meaning every single bale you make you have to wait for it to spit a bale out lower it turn it on. I did a 9acre field and made 280 bales was not worth 4hrs of time. You will save so many hours going for the forage harvester instead. If you have to take out a loan or lease the harvester I get it’s a bit of money but you’ll make it back within one harvest of poplars on a field that’s not super small

[@chrisjones6002]

Its really slow and turns itself off every time you drop a bale. Feel free to try it but I would lease it. I did one small field once and I wouldn't recommend it as a long term solution.

[@phforNZ]

@@chrisjones6002 so, small field only, large fields it's go big or go home?

[@empathyxiii]

@@phforNZ correct, if it’s an acre or 2 go for the baler but if you’re wanting max profits go big and just lease the forage harvester a few times on a big field, I got almost exactly a million from a 9 ish acre field and will never use that baler again. But it’s one of those crops you plant once it keeps growing back and if you’re in need of money quick, harvest that instead of the usual crops. I leave it to the side usually until I need to buy a bigger machine or harvester

[@phforNZ]

@@empathyxiii cheers for that. Looking at it for my playthrough, no leasing so been trying to figure stuff out so I don't screw myself over. This video timing was good, just lacking in a few parts. You may have saved me from a headache, was going to put in a big field of it, but I think I'll just do a trial run in a smaller field.

[@davidanderson9413]

I love this man thank you for all your help and please keep the videos coming HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERTON 🎉

[@Kilerwhale13]

As far as I know, since it was the same in FS22, you don't need field prep for poplars, or fertiliser either since they're considered trees. Unlike crops, where you're interested in the amount of grain you get per ha, poplars are basically just chopped down entirely, so there's no variable yield.

[@chrisjones6002]

The tree planter acts like a plow so you can skip plowing and picking stones. It will bring stones up as you plant.

[@4BitGaming24]

I thought poplars regrew after harvest? No re-plowing required?

[@freshisntsosalty8764]

You can use the harvester attachment and use a tractor to harvest with the header

[@jimnasium3208]

8:25 I've noticed my game does this as well. I have tested it with and without fertilizer in the direct seeder and both do the same however it only seems to lay down 100% feritlizer on 1 or 2 headlands regardless if I fertilized before seeding.

[@tycronophariousproductions3512]

Best Guide Videos hands down so clear concise and to the point. Thank you

[@MrBertstare]

Other than forgetting about 50% of the harvesting tools available

[@0shelby0xxmathisxx24]

I play on ps5 and I held circle to change my working width to 1.2M I also changed the steering to 1.2m and I have no gaps in my planting with AI

[@gameboosted007]

Could you make a guide showing and using all the new carrot equipment

[@markgabert3981]

Is it more valuable to plant poplar or a field of actual trees to put through a chipper?

[@Saxon360]

There is more money in a hectare of large trees than a hectare of poplar, but you will not be able to harvest anywhere near as fast as with poplar. So poplar has a higher $ per hour.

[@thedemonicskull7748]

Hi. I noticed that the SL 80-20 belt lets you select the degrees but then doesn't let you hire the worker to make sure the belt goes from right to left and from left to right. Am I missing something or is this another Giant bug?

[@rodneynormanhersom3583]

lol press and hold H and set the row width to 1.2 meters that the smallest size and then the ai can plant a Dence beds no more rows

[@Isleguy57]

Are there any productions that use woodchips rather than selling the chips straight out?

[@ra2186]

From other videos I've seen it's sell only for this crop.

[@TanCoyer]

absolute mare planting popular on ps5! with the gaps, i tried filling them in afterwards, even with crop destruction off every row i planted the row next to me got wiped out! did the same row over 5 times and still had massive patches, i even saw rows next to me dissapearing even if i didnt touch them!! anyone else had this scenario? gonna grow it the once then im ploughing the feild and never touching poplar again!!

[@Chry-s9c]

Hello is good for done money in normal mode???

[@MoonHowlerGaming]

Hey FC. What are with those fairy circles that pop up on your fields more and more over time where nothing will grow and how do you get rid of them?

[@chasedooley6237]

Hail and/or tornado damage. Disable disaster destruction to prevent it. You’ll need to plow the field to remove them. Basically in-game griefing lol, really annoying

[@GriddleGoblin]

Do i still roll after planting or before?

[@ra2186]

Rolling doesn't work, even though it will still tell you that you need to roll. I rolled once before planting and once after and it still says needs rolling once it starts to grow. You'll only be able to get it to about 92% yield. Lot of posts about ppl complaining about ppl can't roll poplar. Also, for most dense planting you'll have to do it manually at .5 meters. I did AI at 1.2 meters and then filled in the gaps w/ .5 meters manually. Takes lots of time the first go around but you won't ever have to plant again after doing it once. my friends and I are testing mods to see if we can get it automated and dense. I'll report back if we find anything better than what I wrote above. Poplar makes bank though! Millions easily even if you don't have every row perfectly dense.

[@ra2186]

Found the holy grail for planting poplar. Get the Kinze Blue Drive SP (Mod). It plants everything, but I only use it for the poplar. It will plant a perfect field. It cultivates, seeds, rolls, and fertilizes all in one shot. It makes a perfect fully dense field. You'll have to lime the field separately though.

[@gunt3781]

Hey farmer cop, why didn’t you roll? I did all of the field prep. After planting, i needed to roll. But rolling didn’t fix the needs rolling state. Am i doing something wrong, or is this a bug?

[@joshuadoll9000]

Make sure you’re rolling immediately after planting and before any plants pop up otherwise it won’t work

[@gunt3781]

@ thats what i did and i still had the required rolling state…

[@Metallica8414]

It's a bug, same in FS22, only crops you can't do anything about the rolling.

[@AdobeD1N0]

Thanks for another solid video Fc. We play on a dedicated server with required plowing turned off, weeds on, and stones on. After planting poplar, we get medium and large stones in the fields which cannot be removed with a stone picker. Is this a bug? The small stones can be rolled but the medium and large seem to have found a forever home. There also seems to be a bug where the field says it needs rolling but cannot be rolled. The roller will only remove the small stones. Let me know if you’ve heard of or experienced any of these issues with poplar. Thank you

[@andrewengland971]

Ai will do the harvesting with a trailer attached. I do it with corn and silage. You have to cut in the field. I usually cut the first 2 runs around the edge. The ai just wants to go straight but it works. Ai harvested 1.7 mil chaff for me lmao. I cut it using the gps.

[@truckerdanvideos]

What mobile home is that? Not to take away from the main point but I've seen it around but can't find it in modhub

People say these take a while to grow, and no mention of that here - how long do they take? And you missed the biobaler, as other have pointed out.

[@samuraidriver4x4]

6:08 he does mention the grow time.

[@MrBertstare]

@@phforNZ it’s 12-13 months. It only grows during “planting” season it seems. I’m only into year 2 and have harvested once so I’m still figuring it out. In 22 I did poplar but it was a mod map with custom crop calendar designed to replicate Florida and growing season was longer and I think I harvested poplar every 9 or 10 months?

[@davidgutshall5207]

As of right now if you turn plowing off you don't get a reduction on yield

Good video and very helpful! If anyone ever asks me what the most toxic community of any game is i always answer farming simulator... No matter how hard the you try and make a helpful or interesting video someone always has 17 negative things to say because it wasnt their way... I love your content and keep it up!!!!! Dont listen to the simple minded people!!!!!!

Its forgettable. I used it once on a small field and I wouldn't recommend it.

I don’t understand how people who make a living playing farmsim can’t get that you adjust the width on the planter and turn the worker loose to go plant.

[@samuraidriver4x4]

He is still a LEO.

[@MrBertstare]

Did you completely forget about the biobaler? It has a push bar for the tractor and the baler can either be towed straight behind or offset to the side. Come on man this isn’t rocket surgery. I should really start a KZbin channel

[@ereal713]

You won't start one.

[@MrBertstare]

@ if I wasn’t so re tard ed I sure would.

[@rexpepper2513]

My planter is gitched and wont fill lol

[@ra2186]

Everyone has this prob. Best solution I've found so far is let AI plant at 1.2m, then fill in the gaps manually at .5m. Takes a long time but will get a perfectly dense field.
