realistic money$$$$$$$$$$

[FSarndrone]

what have you done( in game ) that has made you a ton of money realistically of course

[Crazof]

this is a game, none of the money made in game is all that realistic.

I don't remember which You Tube farmer it was, Zach, Cole or Brian, talking about delivering product but seems to me they mentioned a truck load of soybeans being something like $6-7K, in game a truck load of soybeans can exceed $85K

A 200 acre bailing contract that was over half a million in profit haha. Dunno if I would call that realistic but but I thought what the heck it’s being offered.

[FSarndrone]

Thats what I am talking about

. anything that's not cheating like changing prices or using some slang bga

"Harvest bonus" on contracts, especially doing canola or soybeans in a huge field. I can't believe a real farmer would allow such a thing. On a 4X map, it's possible to get over 100,000 just for the bonus

[Phigo]

Hemp on Wild West. If that is in a Contract take some quarantain-time and enjoy 10 seconds harvesting and 10 minutes to drive the truck to the sellpoint. After a very long time of harvesting take the crop bonus and the 500k for that contract and retire...

That's because they wouldn't. When you custom farm for someone they just pay you for your time and equipment.

[adammac5858]

I have been wanting to do cotton, but setting myself back half or three quarters of a million for the harvester isn't an option right now. Bank already loaned me 250k!

I almost died seeing the price of the JD harvester.

[TZ441]

I play on medicine creek and all the prices, yeilds, and prtty much everything except for the contracts is set to relistic prices. Im currently on my fourth year of 12 day seasons and im now farming over 1500 acres by myself and i have a loan out of 1 million even. I grow corn, soybeans and wheat with the odd crop of oat or sunflower rotated in. I make 22,000 for 60,000 liters of dry corn, about 9 to 11 thousand for 60,000 liters of beans, and about 7 to 9 thousand for 60,000 liters of wheat so ive grinded everything i have bought on this map.
(btw, yeilds of crops per acre with max fert are Wheat is 80 bushell an acre, Soybeans 82-85, and corn is high yeilding at 200 bushell an acre)

[Illinois Farmer]

200 is an average number for corn. I wouldn't say it is high. We usually get 215 to 300 at times in the fields with 15 percent moisture.

[Farmercaseih]

We have a few fields that we can't make a full pass with the combine on. (Our combine holds about 245 bushels)

Totally of topic, sorry - but is that why I some times on can see a huge combine with a not so big corn header, because your fields are so big that it would fill the combine to fast?

[Farmercaseih]

That and combines are just big in general, and corn headers are usually smaller than a grain header, our grain head is 30ft and the corn head is 20ft. We have a Case IH 2388 which was the biggest combine from Case when it was made, and we only have an 8 row header and that is all it can handle. Once you get into big combines like a 9250 those have a big enough tank to support a 16 row in big fields.
