Post by Frick »

Anyone know if the prices for crops are realistic in the different economic difficulties?

Realistic price for corn atm is 3.75 a bushel which is 35 some liters. Fs sells per 1000 liters so that's 28.4 bushels x 3.75 = 106.5. So nope lol. Not even close even on hard. Unless my math is wrong. I'm admittedly nothing like a math wiz.

Thank you
I came to the same conclusion when I looked at it, but wanted to be sure that I did not make a mistake
Any idea about the price for equipment. Is that close to real?

Most likely. A used 8400r a year old is around 325k. I cant find prices for a new one but it looks like the prices are probably right. So obviously they had to scale up crop prices because we're not farming the same amount of land as your average farmer would in a year.

We agree again. I looked at some tractors and they seem reasonable priced

The potato equiptment is underpriced, all of it. By a lot, where I live at least.

The price for potatoes is about right if we are talking processing varietys (for chips/crisps/frozen) fresh market would be significantly more but only for the packout (grade 1) and as seed is a whole different ball game, since it’d be too complicated to include value added product it makes sense to just think of them going to the frozen chip factory.
