Is there a way or a mod that will remove the need of plowing every single time after harvesting corn? (Without turning off periodic plowing)

Fs19 doesn't have periodic plowing like fs17. You just have to plow after a couple crops like corn. I don't remember if potatoes is the other or not.

There most definitely is a periodic plowing on/off option in the game settings...

According to the wonderful world of Google, after any root crop or maize, plowing required will show. I wish I could just go corn on corn and just plow every 3rd harvest or so

You don't have to plow, it will just give you a little better yield if you do

That's because of the wording from fs17. Periodic plowing meant after every 3rd harvest no matter of the crop.

Corn and root crops. Even though I don't do those crops I still always have plowing off, however part of that is map makers almost always leaving every field in a needs plowing state. It's almost some people enjoy spending the first 40 hours on a map plowing.

Bit off-topic but like CowsGoMoo mentioned, I've always wondered why is it that lot of map makers leave 95% of original player start-up fields on un-plowed state.. 🤔

As an old timer I can say with certainty that plowing was done every harvest when I was growing up. We had mowers like the John Deere HX 20 that we chopped the corn stalks with then we plowed the stalks under and let the field sit all winter. We did that with all the fields every year.

Periodic Plowing in 19 just means you have to plow after corn and root crops. Periodic Plowing means nothing else.

Hmm thanks for clarifying. Thought it was like fs17. Although I did become curious as to why I could go a dozen soybean harvests and still not have to plow haha
