Re: great demand silage
Yeah I have had that happen at the biogas plant but the odd thing is that when it happened the price was lower than when it normally was

Re: great demand silage
as Dfarmer36 said, yes u can get great demands.. but the great demand doesn't always mean that the price will be "better".. in fs17 the great demand simply stabilizes the price so it doesn't drop while the demand is active.. if the price is high when the demand is active then u r in luck.. if not u just kinda have do decide if its still profitable for u to sell at that time.. hope this helps

Re: great demand silage
Yes, that works for creating a Great Demand as long as you're on PC. You can also stabilize the prices or affect how much they drop by following this post and the one right below it (http://fs-uk.com/forum/index.php?topic= ... msg1257303).

Re: great demand silage
I was really disappointed with the huge price drop on silage in FS17. They made everything for silage operation better. Yet made the prices almost not worth the effort. On FS15 i had a four into one field for corn chaffing. The easy collect forage harvester and 8 semis with full size krampe's. Id pack a couple bunkers full. And wait for the demand. Big boy money. Now not likely. I think i may run a test game. Just to see what kinda profits i could pull to see if its worth it on the larger scale.

Re: great demand silage
right now, i just run silage as a supplementary income. i haven't invested in any foraging equipment , i just use any leftover grass i don't need for my animals. i usually cut about 800,000 per day and use only about 200,000 each day for making food for my cows(produces about 600,000 each day which is more than enough for my current needs) i ferment each day and just keep selling it off. i don't get a ton of money from it, but its not much extra work for some easy money
Re: great demand silage
This raises a question, you know in fs15 when you sell a grain type, you sell loads of it, next hour comes by, and the price takes a long walk off of a short pier, does it do this in fs17?PrincessJessi84 wrote:as Dfarmer36 said, yes u can get great demands.. but the great demand doesn't always mean that the price will be "better".. in fs17 the great demand simply stabilizes the price so it doesn't drop while the demand is active.. if the price is high when the demand is active then u r in luck.. if not u just kinda have do decide if its still profitable for u to sell at that time.. hope this helps
Re: great demand silage
It happens as soon as the "selling" stops so every bucket you sell at the bga the price drops. That's why it's a good idea to use conveyers once the price is high. You can use a wheel loader or telehandler to keep the silage up at the conveyer pickup and have a continuos stream.

this is easier than it sounds, since the conveyors are slow as hellGuil wrote:It happens as soon as the "selling" stops so every bucket you sell at the bga the price drops.

Re: great demand silage
It's very easy to do, I'm nearly sure I have a video saved on my PS4 showing it. I'll have a look when I get home.
Re: great demand silage
if your into forestry, you can use this method for selling wood chips as well
Re: great demand silage
So your saying, if i were to sell wheat, next hour comes by, the price will drop?Guil wrote:It happens as soon as the "selling" stops so every bucket you sell at the bga the price drops.

Re: great demand silage
Every trailer load the price drops a bit.
Re: great demand silage
no, that is the old system. the way it works now is: you take a trailer of wheat to the sell point, you sell it, AS SOON AS YOUR DONE SELLING THAT LOAD THE PRICE DROPS. it no longer gives you a full hour. the ONLY time you get longer is during a great demand, which locks the price in place till the end of the great demand.BigC92 wrote:So your saying, if i were to sell wheat, next hour comes by, the price will drop?Guil wrote:It happens as soon as the "selling" stops so every bucket you sell at the bga the price drops.
