bunker says chaff 122k,222 compact at 100% still will not let me cover it.
are you sure its 10% if its 15% that would be like 150k would it not?

It tells you what percentage it is. You can get a little over 2 million into each bunker so it definitely isn't 15%.

I have been planting grass fields and fertilizing them. I am cutting it with a harvester and making silage at the bio gas plant.

Does planting corn and harvesting that as chaff result in more volume than grass??? Seems like I get a lot just from the grass.

Thanks!!!

Love the game!

Yes, in a single harvest of the two crops that are fully fertilized and fully grown in grass's case corn will yield more than grass. Here is a chart of yields (just scroll down until you see chaff yields): http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =805367551

Yeah, yields have changed since then, for better or for worse.

I know you can pull it off each end and more will come off as it is needed.
