Day 9 Farming Until I Go from BROKE to BILLIONAIRE

[@danielhomant2832]

As you have seemed to have figured out, lease expensive and occasional use equipment like a combine, and buy frequently used equipment like a tractor. Buying that combine in early game was a killer. One big thing that is keeping your income low is dabbling. You have little bits of things that each earn very little and will take years for ROI. Either buy more greenhouses and invest into them substantially, like 6 or more, or dont touch them at all. Compare how long it wil pay back the 11,000 you invested. The bees are great for your fields and can definitely use more to cover all your fields. Another issue, is constantly buying and then selling equipment. Wait for a sale, get what you need as long as it doesn't significantly impact your other operations. So, stop dabbling! Heh.

[@Septimus_ii]

Dabbling makes for a fun KZbin series, though

[@idkwhattfimdoin]

Arguably strong progress also makes for good KZbin, and gives you the ability to dabble more substantially in the future.

im on year 4 i have a 205hp tractor btw u started with 300k and my yaerly pay i get is 200k and u try to buy 1 extra field every year and its the best strat ever

[@982min]

Update im on year 6 and i bought a new holland harvester i play without mods and i have bought a 313 hp new holland tractor soo far my income has gone from 200k a year to 650k a year i only fo crop harvesting im gonna soon start doing factorys and i have 4 sun things

[@andrewpeck6074]

Plant your fields in grass after you’ve harvested then mow, rake, bale and wrap it then seed in whatever crop you want after. Only way to double crop. That’s what I’m trying just now doing a similar thing to you. I am doing contracts though. You’re doing it tough!

[@floridamanrun463]

April year 9, 665k. 21 solar, fields 40-43 doing silage. I wanted an International farm so I added the 2+2 Series. 415 150cm silage bales so far.

[@gabrielpeeck4997]

I've binged all of this series within the last day and I'm absolutely loving it!

[@gho5tmangaming240]

@TheFormalPickle I forgot to mention thanks for using our idea to create and sale bails for supplemental income. I really hope it helps if not you could harvest and sell rocks considering its infinate how many you can get by deep plowing on fields no matter how many times you do it.

[@muddingoff-road2971]

Use the train silo as a normal silo for more crop storage, you can sell all ur crop for higher at one time

[@elev8torguy]

Just to add the train silo is free to use, no fee.

[@demmidemmi]

Making the same mistake every FS creator makes in challenges like this. Flipfloping between ideas spending all the capital on buying equipment. Putting $100.000 into making a $1000 annually is a total loss. With the solarpanel income all the years of farming in this challenge are still total net loss and not making any progress.

[@Erintherallydriver]

Just make lots of silage and sell around January time. Mass produce it and store it on the floor in a shed. Watch the money flow in 😮

[@gho5tmangaming240]

Hey @TheFormalPickle im glad you making videos more frequently especialy on Farm Sim. Have you thought about mods maybe. You coulf maybe even join up with the squad and see how that does. Either way thanks for all of your hard work keep it up please. Also what happrned to the buying every peice of equipment series?

[@samuelharding257]

I have a huge solar and wing farm on Erlengrat that makes on average 10-13 million a month. I could expand it and make more but I’m engaging in other farming endeavors because the income is honestly obsolete to me right now, but I may expand it at some point just for kicks. I have 250 million cash right now and I own every top doller piece of equipment in game and multiples so again the expansion of the wind and solar farm doesn’t really mean anything to me with the income I generate passively. I don’t own all the machinery just the best for what I need. Right now I’m just engaging in various produce farming and logging etc around the entire map because it’s more engaging hence farming simulator. Mind you it averages 10 mil a month. Even in winter time I made 8 mil in December, so my main focus is just real good farming at no expense spared because I can, so I have all the machinery and I just plow and cultivate my fields etc and prep them for whatever I want to grow really. I have a huge home base sort of right next to the city and then all of the plots of land I own and are used for different purposes. I have minature bases at the respective sites with exquipment there etc for those purposes. I still have a lot more I want to do, but it’s been a journey.

[@I_shoWslow]

Favourite fs22 series so far!

[@valentinkantelberg2828]

Jo, i just wanted to say that you get an immense paycut if you let the Greenhouses sell direktly. Thanks for your content😅👍

[@elev8torguy]

The Anderson bale auto loader will help you keep your sanity if you choose to go hard on bales. It collects them and stacks them and is base game no mod needed.

[@ThePaoligno90]

If you roll the grass after mowing you don't need to fertilize! Bit you need the grass roller. Plus, if you mow the grass on the second month of the ready to harvest stage you get a 50% yield boost! You should be able to get 3 harvests at 150% yield per year, if you plan your months carefully

[@laytonstandage2640]

Truly the best way to get there is field flipping. Get a nice combine and just keep going flip as many as you can as fast as possible

[@adamvandussen2634]

Keep this series up! Love it 💯

[@fredrick3009]

Love the sudden influx of different income avenues. Side note, accidents happen, but in my personal opinion selling that weeder early on was a bad decision. If you weed at the right time, you don't have to buy herbicide or lease the equipment to apply. That's the big decision early I think has cost you a lot. Don't get me wrong, love the series. And it's hard for me to find an FS youtuber that I enjoy watching. Thanks for the entertainment!

[@sappymustang77]

It’s easy. If you have a bunch of time and a harvester, silo and grain cart. All you do is buy the land farm the land and sell it back for the same price, keep the crop in your silo and wait for good time of year to sell. Do this with all the money crops like soybeans and canola. Let the game plant the fields for you

[@SpartanElite43]

Hello! I'm a farming sim noob but I do want to try this challenge! I'll try and upload it to my channel and tag you in it. Would love any constructive criticism from a Farm Sim Pro! Thank you for the challenge!

[@elev8torguy]

You could accept 3 contracts and borrow equipment for each, set up a helper on each and make some semi passive contract income while you work on your own land.

[@NicholasReguin]

It’s obviously less interesting, but just doing all silage is the best money maker. If you stopped soybeans and did silage you wouldn’t need your seeding equipment or harvester, just the stuff you already have. But again, it’s more boring lol

[@zach1269]

I understand you can’t but you should just prioritize this series already

[@malikg.hansen9473]

The nachinery can run without warning hazardlights (both blinkers on at the same time) being on at all times, or maybe just use on the road. The same with beaconlights😁 -just a little suggention😇

[@apextuna]

I see the Grass Empires influence spreads far, and long (you can cut closer to the road just windrow it away from the edge and then you can pick it up. Should help the yield) 👍

[@Cheekslovin]

Best start I found was not buying the home property and buying open land that needs to be made into a field yet, get them super cheap and not much work to plow. Get much further with your starter money

[@eavin3025]

If you have small weeds in the field use a weeder for it instead of the sprayer, so you don't damage your crop. Also then you don't need to take care of weeds for few harvests

[@jackdriskill4345]

I Have suggestions for the greenhouse. Only grow lettuce. Hold onto it until January. Then, sell it across the street to Fast Food. Afterwards, buy another. And repeat.

[@jackdriskill4345]

Also make sure you get water for free from a pond or lake.

[@TreasureFiend]

This is my fav series.

[@aukustikalliokoski5968]

You should buy a cultivator with a roller on the back so you dont have to lease a roller every yeat

[@JustBeFrank19]

I am having a rough day. Getting flipped on the bales twice and calling them a marshmallow had me fits. I was laughing into tears. Thank you.

[@bavobouhez]

you can grow sunflouwer oil

[@jakobranzenhofer2335]

you need to let your grass grow for 1 more month to get better yield edit: i'd also recommend to spray with herbicide before the crops even start growing (it will give you 15% more yield)

[@X1xmOOSex1X]

A down and dirty way you can go about it is buying fields, harvest the fields, then sell them. And keep doing that. It’s dirty. Also do silage silage silage

[@TheFormalPickle]

Field Flipping is a method I’ve used in a past series, maybe we will try again someday lol

[@X1xmOOSex1X]

@@TheFormalPickle when I do it I try to at least plant something in it before I sell. Loose a little bit gain alot

[@faikhajdari6586]

I've made 1 billion and 50 million per month in vanilla fs22. All you need to do is have some capital and buy solar panels/wind turbines to get an exponential return of 9 percent. Took me 240 months and I could've done it much faster.

[@TheBeast0253]

Hey I have been watching this series since day 1 and got inspired to start my own 1billion dollar series. I’m in the process of making it right now. ❤

[@HollowsDarkness]

Im not sure how a snowstorm affects recording a video. That tends to be a computer issue not a storm issue.

[@TheFormalPickle]

I'm on a server. It's a network issue which storms will affect.

[@HollowsDarkness]

@@TheFormalPickle goooootcha that makes more sense

[@X1xmOOSex1X]

When the grass field says you can harvest wait another month, more yeild

[@PascalMartens5485]

Buy the combine or header and lease the other tool to harvest so you don't spend as much on leasing costs

[@danielhomant2832]

Completely the other way around. The cheapest combine and header cost 100,000 total. Leasing that same equipment is only 5,000. This means it will take 20 harvests to offset the cost of leasing the combine. In early game, you typically want to buy a tractor, but lease otherwise and invest in land or other ventures such as the solar panels. In the beginning, buying expensive equipment is a very bad move since it takes so much money that is needed for other tasks. Essentially, before spending money, ask "will this increase my earning potential, and how long will it take to earn that cost back". This is a concept called ROI, or Return on Investment. How long it takes for any expense to pay for itself and start earning income. Buying a combine in early game has an ROI of 20 years, and effectively earns 5,000 a harvest. Buying another field for 100,000 should be able to bring in more than 5,000 per harvest. Or a single solar panel earns more typically too. There are many ways to earn and lose income. Some of them not so obvious on the surface.

[@moucha1959]

I tried it on medium difficulty and I got to 100 mil in 3 or so hours and I felt like cheating so I strated a new save on hard

[@buzz1ebee]

Now you have a strategy, stick to it. Every time you switch strategy you pay loads of money that takes a long time to get back. Passive income from solar is the way to go. I struggled along growing soybeans and doing loads of contracts until i could get a second field, then a few years later got the neighbouring field and used a plough to merge them, then I grew stuff as cheap as possible until i could get additional solar. Needed the volume for it to be worth it. Now I'm bringing in nearly $200k per month in summer months. My soybean harvest brings in 200k annularly and takes several hours of irl time so i think I'm just going to be a power magnate now and retire my tractor.

[@RussellPetry]

I’m on year 7 and I have 6 fields and 2 harvesters and 3 tractors with everything I need for my fields and I’m at 800k making roughly 100k a year

So frustrating watching you make the same mistakes every episode. Sinking money into equipment that is never going to return enough money to make it worth it (especially all the baking equipment)
