Hope to continue this one last adventure until FS22 comes out.
I have farmed all over the world, from close to home in The Netherlands, different parts in Europe to far far away in the USA, Canada and even for a small period of time in Brazil. I have seen it all, used it all and almost farmed it all.
Having sunk loads of money in all these different adventures, bought hundreds of different machinery, I have decided to go for one last investment of €500.000,- which I have taken from different farms all over the world and retake the farm where it all started for me.
Arriving in the late afternoon I noticed my old farm is gone. Fields are there, but all my tractors, implements, buildings, everything is gone.
After talking to some old friends at the local pub, I came to learn it all burned down to the ground several years ago. The so called friends who farmed the land for me stopped all insurances a month before the fire and sold all my equipment and just ran off, nobody knows where.
Hoping to have more than enough money to start farming my oldest farm again, I now have a couple hundred thousand Euro's short as I need buy the fields, tractors, implements and everything needed to farm and make money. Luckily I still have some good old friends who are here to help me with this last adventure.
I could get a decent discount on my machinery, but unfortunately not the fields and I could only buy 2 of them, instead of the 10 or so which I had. One of the fields, the largest of course, already had potato's in them, the previous owner, an old man had planted them the day before I arrived and did not want anything for it in return, except a small box so he could put the potato's in bags and hand them over to friends and family.
Months after my arrival I finally had a couple buildings up to store my equipment, but no house of my own as I did not have the money to build a house. With some discount, it would still cost me a little under €200.000,- to build a house and it will take a while before I will have the money. The innkeepers are good friends and let me stay with them rent free until I can afford a nice home for myself.
When the potato's where ready to harvest, my friends at the dealership had some nice equipment, suited for my nice little tractor to harvest it all. The width is very small, but I have all the time in the world to harvest them.
With one small tractor and loads of potato's to harvest, one of the farmers nearby came to help with his tractor to dig them up so I only had to pick them up and put them in a trailer. Process of slow as the trailer I could afford can only hold 2 full loads. I am ever grateful for my helping neighbor as it would last for several days to harvest it all and with his help, it would only take me a couple days.
This is me signing off for the first part of this new adventure where I had to start all over again instead of having a big farm to take back.
I have added a picture of the harvest in full swing.
See you guys after the potato harvest.
