Well, you could simulate selling the whole farm and compare that with what you would have received if you had sold some time ago. And use these numbers as an indicator on how well you are doing. But it's tedious, and not really worth doing again and again.
The easiest way, is to use the 'Finances' tab. But this tab has many limitations. The most obvious one, is that it doesn't stretch over more than a few days. This is a big limitation. Especially if you are playing Seasons, where your farming year is probably much longer than that.
One assurance that your farm is atleast producing a postitive result, is to play the game in a way that you never have any red numbers in your 'Totals'. But this isn't practical.
Bare with me, on a simple example:
You take a loan and buy an expensive harvester, and plan to pay it back with your upcoming wheat harvest. The 'Total' that shopping day, will be very red. Soon you are in the shop again. This time for a tractor and maybe a trailer. Red numbers again. Finally harvest day, and a big chunk of money in the 'Total' for that day. But does this cover all the investments you have done? Plus all ongoing cost like maintenance, wages and so on. You really have no idea, just looking at the 'Finance' tab.
So, I'm curious, how do YOU know if you actually are doing good or bad? Or do you simply not care that much, and buy stuff when you happends to have some money on your account?
