Need to plow after harvesting sunflower

[kubinec]

Is normal to plow after harvesting sunlower ? I need plow after harvesting

If you have periodic ploughing enabled in options then you might need to plough after any crop.

[kubinec]

yes i have periodic ploughing enabled but in help list in game is : plowing after harvesting maize, potatoes, sugar beet and sugercane (or you suffer a penalty -15%). Sunflower is not listed.
After grain you don´t have to plow never.

I have to plow after planting corn or sunflower. I’m sure I saw it at some point that you have to do that, just not sure where

[PoggleBox]

AFAIK periodic ploughing can happen after harvesting ANY crop.

[jpm1]

you have optional ploughing for all crops. and you have compulsory ploughing after corn, and sunflower (didn't plant ant cotton, or sugarcane so far..)

I thought it was cultivating or discing that was required after sunflowers and corn. Not a using a plough.... that is a lot of pain and suffering.

i don't know what you mean by cultivators. in France cultivators (cultivateurs), and ploughing machines (charrues) are more or less the same things. as they both put the soil upside down. then i don't remember, as i didn't do it for a while, but in game some planters require to work the soil before, while others like the condor don't. with the condor you can replant wheat for example just after a harvesting. assuming it's not corn, or sunflower. i'm not a maize, or sunflower cultivator IRL, but it makes sense. as they let more organics behind. what i did, i purchased 2 cultivators a Kuhn DC 401, and an Agrisem Combiplow Gold 4M. it makes a 8m plowing, and they don't require powerful tractors. i wouldn't say it goes fast lol. but at least it takes twice less time

Its really not that bad. Just set a worker to do it and check on them every once in awhile

[Joepipefitter]

I guess there is no reason to have a cultivator or disc then, just using up slots

Subsoilers don’t cultivate though and leave a slightly different than cultivated texture, so you’ll probably still need one

Are you making this comment re: real life, or how they are handled in game? IRL of course you are correct. In game I thought they did leave the cultivated state? Maybe I misunderstood.

[Smith Modding]

I’m taking about in game. As far as I know, it doesn’t give it a cultivated state, just plowed. It did that the last time I used the subsoiler

No, it's after corn, sunflower and root crops, specifically. You need to plough everytime you've harvested one of those, never otherwise.

You can use a subsoiler, they're generally a little faster and wider than ploughs for the same HP requirement.
