What do you do while it's raining?
What do you do while it's raining?
As the title says, what do you do while it's raining?
I've had a streak of several days where it's rained for a good portion of them. I plowed one day which was fun, but some days after the animals are feed and watered, there's not much else to do.

If there is nothing to do I just set time at 480 speed and wait till the next day

If I have absolutely nothing to do (which is rare) I just fast forward. You could always pull your equipment out if the shed for a free wash lol

I have heard that in the winter or when it’s raining people work in their pellet halls
I love multiplayer and John Deere
Re: What do you do while it's raining?
Move stuff around and hook stuff up for the next thing I need to do, fill up tmr, bust bales so I can make tmr faster, haul seed fert and lime, do hauling contracts, and put equipment away I’m done with for the awhile.
Re: What do you do while it's raining?
Well, as long as I have animals, I tend to them twice a day, morning and evening. Cleaning, feed, weather and a walk around to check on them.
When weather prevents field work, servicing equipment is a good way to pass time. ( cleaning it, even if I did that before parking it, fold/unfold, turn it on, check all functions, walk around and inspect it etc. before storing it again)
Cleaning up the yard, getting the equipment to the right places, sweeping etc.
I don't do fast forward except for sleeping during night

Re: What do you do while it's raining?
I do know in reality Haying isn't done while it is raining but in the game I have found that planting, haying, and taking care of the animals is OK.... I have cut a 10 HA field of grass, raked it and baled it while it was raining. I also have planted crops during a rain event.... I also take out the Lizard car and spin donuts in the other farmers field for fun... Potatoes, Oats, and Grass are quite slick and if you do it right you can get 3 or 4 real nice circles in quick succession... Just saying.... really I don't but is sounds like it would be fun
When it is all going sideways... Sidestep it, or go fishing!

Re: What do you do while it's raining?
You must not be playing with seasons. You won't be able to make hay while it is raining.
1300 acre farm, finish out just about 10,000 hogs a year, 200 cattle, and xbox one and pc user.
Re: What do you do while it's raining?
Wash/fuel my vehicles, get a head start on repairs. Contract work, maybe haul a couple loads to sell. Organize storage sheds, move egg pallets, feed and play with the dog, experiment with different crop rotations in the planner, check the economic tab and see if anything's going to be spiking soon.
Just the mundane that gets put off when I'm full on harvesting.

Re: What do you do while it's raining?
I always try to do some logging, depending on the map. I'm currently on Osina building up my root crop Empire, but the rain thinks not. So Ive started to transport lime and repair equipment. Ive also put potato's into boxes so I can plant them next season and I've got plenty of beet seeds in the shed if the weather shows some signs of change.
I'm also trying my hand at log cabin building. I'll post how that went later.

Re: What do you do while it's raining?
Don't get many rainy days on base game but often if there isn't anything else to do I often speed up time a bit and run around the map checking out details and stuff.

Re: What do you do while it's raining?
Mostly I skip the day or trying to do a contract and after I'm done with the contract(s) I skip the rest of the day.

Re: What do you do while it's raining?
If my animals are taken care of and don't have any field work to do I'll do transport contracts just for something to do. I might also do a bit of logging if I'm on a map that has a good enough area for it.
If prices are good, I'll do some selling. If I have some silage I'll keep the BGA fed.

Re: What do you do while it's raining?
I'm trying to play as realistic as possible, so when there's rain, nothing is really done in the field.
I'm repairing my equipment, feeding my animals. Sometimes I "play with manure"...
I usually speed up time to 30x on rainy day.
