Precision Farming a How To Guide | Part 2 | Soil Samples and Soil Preparation

[@CriticalPresence]

This Video is a Year old at least and still to this day…. Is the only place I can find a Comprehensive Selection of the Soil Maps (bar Custom) This really helps so much. Thank you FarmerKlein

[@FarmerKlein]

Glad it continues to be a resource for you.

Hey FK, as always your tutorials are extremely thorough. Thanks for taking the time to do this series 👍 even after using precision farming quite a bit I still find there is more to learn.

Thank you for all the input .Greatly appreciated

Very informative, nice job as always. With regards to lime spreading, when applying to fields, if you miss bits or strips going up and down, you cannot go back and cover those missed items as far as my gameplays on a few different maps have gone.

[@FarmerKlein]

You can but only if the missed areas are larger than one pixle width of the soil map. also you might be able to go across the missed areas at a different angle for it to pick them up but if the game does not detect the area as missing lime then dont worry your not missing lime as far as the game is concerned so there will be no hit as a result. doubt you will see the missed area on the pH overlay for example.

[@bluecollarjedi7600]

@@FarmerKleinThat is good to know, I have been avoiding hiring helpers ( Courseplay) for lime spreading since they do miss spots here and there.

[@sgtace]

Question - can you use lime on already planted crops? I had no money when I was planting grass and now I'm missing yield. Do I have to cultivate + lime + seed from scratch or will it be fine if I lime it after fertilizing + rolling with grass roller

[@Wally_Gamer]

Would you know if , does it soil simple the parts of fields that are created fields that are added on ?

[@FarmerKlein]

The manual sampler yes if you take tests of the area you created it will report back the soil map as the soil map covers the entire play area and the fields as defined on the map are just holes on a layer over the soil map. For the survey crew I have no idea if it will pickup and work on areas that are not part of the defined fields for the map.

@@FarmerKlein thx

[@Splinter4077]

Hopefully somebody knows the answer to this, but why is pH not at all related to the crop you are planting, and only tied to the soil? i.e. you put lime on the field before even knowing what crop you are seeding? In real life, is the amount of lime you put on the field also modified by crop type?

[@FarmerKlein]

I call it gamification. Which I define as the simplifying of something that can be very complex IRL for the purpose of gameplay and overall playability by players of all ages and unfamiliarity the real process.

[@vid76]

Hi FK... in the F1 menu when applying lime and fertilizer there is a "Y" ( change nitrogen reference value..what does it mean and/or do?).. Thanks

[@FarmerKlein]

no clue.

[@vid76]

@@FarmerKlein ok thanks

[@FarmerKlein]

I am asking Giants and hopefully they can explain in an upcoming interview likely during one of their pod casts.

[@rodrigoresend]

Hello friend! Did you happen to find out? I have the same question and I can't find an answer.

[@wavve311]

Great video. You mentioned that you need to resample after every 6th harvest. Does the game let you know when it’s time to re-sample the soil or do you just keep track of the number of harvests you’ve done?

[@FarmerKlein]

The soilmap would display the sample needed or what ever the language is for the color that is not a soil type.

[@farmland]

Good broo ..

[@willhausman6956]

Very cool thanks Fk

[@crossbowhunter9118]

Do I have to use a slurry tanker? Or can I use a sprayer/ pellet fertilizer

[@FarmerKlein]

you can apply nitrogen how ever you want. if you apply it before seeding take note it will apply a fixed amount per soil type as the chart in the video showed. Depending on your starting nitrogen levels this may or may not end up being more than the intended crop requires and there are penalities for over fertilization.

How many RTK Stations do we need on our maps?

[@FarmerKlein]

One

[@Hittman67]

@@FarmerKlein thank you. Did you ever look at the map Hanna Indiana by large H Mapping?

So Farmer Klein no plowing should be done in precision farming when planting say corn or potatoes

[@FarmerKlein]

There will likley still be a yield hit at the base game level so the minor hit to the EV score overall I doubt will affect any sell bonus more than the yield hit from not plowing. When I cover things like this I cover them in a bubble I dont mess with all the other gameplay mechanics that are unchanged. PF can be confusing enough let alone try to layer on all the base game mechanics that are still in affect.

[@jojoskunk]

amazing how youtube put the older video of 2019 mod plalist first not the new one. hahaha

[@FarmerKlein]

im happy to have both show up :) age before beauty they always say.

[@jojoskunk]

@@FarmerKlein not practical to learn the right things for the right game but good for your views :p thanks for those tutorial Farmer Klein

[@RCUKScaleModels]

there are some equipment is obsolete now because of precision farming

[@FarmerKlein]

not obsolete farmers still use the stuff just maybe less environmental optimal.

[@seanobrien7169]

There is always the contract work too...
