Trying to Earn $1 Billion in Farming Simulator - Day 28

[@AmericanFarmingBuilt]

Hey Jake, as fun it was to watch you move all the pallets there is a mod that is available on the in game modhub that stacks the pallets 3 high when they spawn, not sure what others think but I consider it a quality of life mod in my worlds.

[@alexeizaraiov]

(HUGE) Update on my run of this challenge: - Started with fields 53 & 54, immediately added a wind generator (medium), trailer home and precision farming shed (yes, im playing with precision farming, its more fun) - Grass silage with round baler. Slowly bought more fields. Adding fields 47, 48 and 50 gave me around 102 silage bales every "harvest", mowing 3 times per year gave me around 306 bales a year. On Hard, a 5500l bale of silage sells for around 1k. So around 300k/year. It is now year 15. Over the past few years, Ive slowly upgraded my wind generators, bought more fields, more solar panels, upgraded to the large cow barn (no feeding robot, its lame). Im doing corn silage with the Forage Harvester and chaff Auger Wagon over at fields 53 & 54, feeding that to my cattle. I also bought field 72, which im slowly transforming into a solar park. Next step is to expand on my grain farming and buy more dairies. - Fields Owned: 41, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 53, 54, 55 and 72. - Main Assets: 4 large wind generators, 18 large solar panels, small BGA (99kw), large cow barn (80 animals), downtown Dairy, Forage Harvester, Claas Trion Harvester, 2 large tractors, 1 medium tractor, self propelled feeder wagon, all the trailers, tanks and implements required to take care of business. - Average property income per month: $ 164,800 (passive income from generators)

Wow that’s amazing and you know what ur doing

[@briansmith8794]

Going to echo some other comments, get the autoloading bale trailer instead of front forks. I like the pallet trailer idea as well. Definitely get the biggest tractor you can.

[@blackmoon8459]

So Jake, since you asked for input, I would say keep the Grass, because the wool>fabric>clothing production chain is a really good money maker. I would say swap out the other crop fields for the ingredients you need to make Cakes. Because those are the other really really good ROI production chain item. Edit: Also, yes, repair and repaint will always give you a profit on selling equipment. It might only be a couple of dollars more than what you would have made before you repaired and repainted it if it's a low enough value item, but for bigger things like tractors, it'll usually get you an extra few thousand dollars.

[@mr.rubber_duck]

I'd buy the loader and attachments then a trailer to pickup bales then a trailer for palets and finally if you have the money a plow and drill to truly connect your feilds and get better yealds also will allow you to make big feilds for you other crops so a worker will run straight through the hole area and you'll get a yeild off the middle

[@lizardFS]

There's a mod I like to use, autoload trailers, pellet and bale, if you park next to the honey it auto loads on the trailer making instant room for spawn, then you can unload into storage or direct sale

[@sorenmeyer7347]

Imo you should get the automatic bale loader. Saves you the money for the frontloader as well

[@mathikoux7736]

Well I just joined in on the challenge… But I have bought field 25 and is currently planting poplar for a sustainable form of income, then build up enough money to buy the harvester myself and then begin to cut grass with it to. Then get sheep and make a good buck

[@craned]

1. Rip up everything 2. Plant Beets 3. ??? 4. Profit

[@That_Gaming_Kid]

The harvester for beets is really expensive isn't it

[@victorherrerajr5626]

I think you need to plant a crop that’s going to help with straw.

[@victorherrerajr5626]

You can earn money that way also.

[@fredericksuperdad316]

So, to be honest, I have done many different crops, and I have settled on (so far) to plant all corn and drying it. I have found that I get the most yield and profit from dried corn. I'm making over 2 million dollars per year with this. Thanks for the comment especially with you and your dad. I think it's great and continue to watch. 😊

[@fredericksuperdad316]

I mentioned content not comment. 😅

[@robertsecondi4025]

What I think should be in the next game is, if I upgrade my engine in my tractor after 50 hrs. The issues with constantly needing to repair it goes away. Or there should just be a fee for a complete over haul that will reset the life cycle of the tractor.

[@nickberchem9836]

So glad to see this series come back!!!! 🖤

[@tylershobby]

Glad this is back I was wondering where this series went!!!!

[@2muse399]

Yay! Thought this series might have ended 😢

[@Harris08912]

I've been enjoying this series, the fun is seeing you make money from nothing and you skipped the bit where you made the most money 😭 Keep making good content though, much love

[@ryanorange5872]

Love the vids Jake and glad this series is back

[@antisocialant4813]

Get a mover/swather combo that will save lots of time and hours on the tractor. you can raise/lower Turn on/off all tools with control + b and v so you dont have to change tool every time you want to lower or turn on.

[@Bougshie]

Great video Jake, I have one suggestion, you should sell the old barns and then get a bigger one for the same price after selling them

[@JanIvarKrogEnger]

I've done the same setup as you are running (baling) and i did it with a valtra t series and i reckon you should do it as it is a really nice setup working with the baler and mower and you don't have to buy the new stuff you can also buy the old vatta/valmet and it does the job just as good and also try to get it with a front loader and if you can't i do suggest a telehandler.

[@casey2472]

The strategy ive employed is buy equipment with loan money. Buy land with harvest income. And rent/lease the implements as needed. As i accumulate more land the loan i can take increases.

[@Gear_jammer]

You should get the lease to own mod so you can buy equipment and pay some each month and then at the end you own it sk you dont spend all your money at a time

[@Freckleboy09]

Hey Jake, u should buy a skidsteer for moving pallets. It would be more efficient then driving that big tracker. Love your vids

[@alexeizaraiov]

PLEASE get the universal autoloader. theres no way youre making a Billion without going insane handling all those pallets

[@alexanderbarnett4948]

cant you use the water pressure washer thing to increase the paint, at the very least it should make paining for paint cheaper(due to the paint bar not being in hell)

[@That_Gaming_Kid]

Hey jake I think it's good that you got the 7810 because it's my favourite tractor in game bc it's cheap and effective it's a great investment good choice. For the crops plant sunflowers as for they give you more money when they are sunflower oil every 1000L u gain $200 more only downside is that it u might lose abit of money in the swap

[@quinnhackett9565]

its weird that in fs the tractors start breaking down around 50 hours but in real life they run thousands of hours also buy a pickup truck and a trailer for the pallets it will help and is cheap

[@filipklema3607]

you need some confidence boost! you doing great! This challange is hard. Foucus on the fun so you enjoy the way to the bilion!

[@quazarstar1937]

Keep with the silage. Convert the canola to sheep corrals.

[@Kheldar_13]

Buy an old school Tracktor they are cheaper for the same horsepower and normally more weight

[@darthcaesar00]

Setup a small wheat field to keep up the chicken feed. The field next to them is enough

[@SalaEvans]

You should stick with silage, build up a huge herd of sheep, then turn the wool into clothes.

[@QuestingTruck]

If you are going heavy into sheep then I recommend cotton and boost the textiles.

[@iwayned]

One option is to maintain equipment that for me meant every time it came out of the field at the end of the day.

[@iangrogan5261]

Focus on silage and bees. Seems to be the easiest money.

[@fazetoad9998]

Hey Jake, you should save up and get a Truck and Trailer.

[@Gear_jammer]

You should get a small skid loader

[@iwayned]

Never painted equipment but always washed them at the end of the day as well as repair everything.

[@kieranbridge5403]

You should just skip forward and wait until the equipment you need comes on sale definitely will speed the money making up

[@TheFormalPickle]

Yeah but then I run into the same issue. If I buy new this time I get more hours on the tractor without ridiculous repair costs.

[@kieranbridge5403]

@@TheFormalPickle I see your point just thought whilst your skipping through you will be earning money of your investments will give you more to spend then

[@wolfie5135]

So i'm confused do you not see that it shows you the vehicles money in the repair money? like it's right above age and condition

[@wolfie5135]

oh man i messed up and i can't delete it for some reason

[@Chaseflies]

Sheep, greenhouse, and/or bees with the remaining money!

[@darthcaesar00]

You need some sort of tractor with front loader for the wool

[@exposured_dark]

Get sheeps, setup spinnery, plant cotton

[@gregoryschupbach4152]

you could have kept the john deere for a little lodder tractor corn or soybeans

[@MetroAttilaGaming]

i think the soybean is good. i know dont make bale but when i start zero to hero in fs20 always the soybean has 1000l/3000-3500 price

[@tylermcgoogan604]

Another option is sell one field for a large tractor

[@FarmerMike5390]

Do you have a mod list posted anywhere?

[@mcgoo721]

50hrs is a crazy low cliff if thats the case

[@d13baranyai]

You should totally start doing Cotton Harvesting 😊

[@jellegoudriaan4962]

When you are wanting to go for fabric to clothes, than do one year cotton so you can let that go for a while

[@Aaaaaaeeeeaaa]

[@markusblitlehaug]

Do some soybeans and some grain + straw

[@RansleyThering]

Hey Jake u should get a tractor without a loader and then by a skid steer for a loader

[@marklippincott8321]

Yes repairing and repainting equipment does make you more then you invest

[@catalincobleac3949]

Why don’t you use the lease to own mod, you can lease the tractors for a bit and then buy the rest of the cost when you are more comfortable

[@RisingHuskyERLC]

You should continue silage and canola and stop chicken

[@kevingajera7715]

You really should make up your mind what kind of crop you want to do. If u want to do silage or some other crop then pull full on loan to full buy all necessary equipment for them. its boring to see you go here and there and not able to make your mind. just do one thing at a time and make profits. Make some money its already 10 years in game and you don't have anything to show. Pull all loan Plant right Make profit Pay back loan Have Fun.

[@TheFormalPickle]

Hmmm, I disagree I think it’s boring to do one thing. I have to change things up, that’s who I am.

[@kevingajera7715]

[@CT-yl3oj]

You're not gonna get to even a million if you keep changing stuff. Stick to a good crop and roll with it. Your farms are jacked up because you see shiny things or squirrels on the side of the road. 😂

[@TheFormalPickle]

My method from the beginning was canola, yes we changed at one point but for quite a while we've been doing the same crops. I've just decided to stop canola and switch to an alternative crop and consolidate our animals towards sheep. Don't get me wrong we've spent money on shinny things plenty but my job is to keep things interesting lol
