Great Demand

[cowboypenner]

Do you wait for a Great Demand to sell your crops or do you sell as you harvest?

Currently I only have one tipper wagon and one field and 'Cash is king' so I'm selling my crops as I harvest them. At some point with multiple fields and a consistent income from cows and sheep I can afford to wait a little while for a 'Great Demand'.

I usually wait until the great demand, but sometimes if I am in need for some cash, I just go sell immediately, but not all of the same crop. I will leave some still in there and wait for a demand, then hit the jackpot.

Well since theres no "game over" from going into negative, and theres no limit on the grain silo capacity.
Theres really no reason to sell unless theres a great demand.
Luckily this changes somewhat in FS 17, where silo's get a capacity limit

Normally i'll stock pile and wait for a demand to happen then spend a full hour getting the best price i can, then resume stock piling. But It dosent hurt to sell without a demand if you keep watch for a good price, but the way to go is logging! there are 'great profits' to be made from a few loads of logs, do it right and a full buffalo load can fetch as much as £120k!

With the Buffalo, my biggest load was 75k if i remember correctly, but i do it by train.

I never do great demands. I always sell my crops right away. Either with small trailers and being near by, directly from the field or when further away from my silo after completing harvest. I don't like stockpiling. I play as if it's needed now. And waiting makes it go bad. I only stockpile as food for my animals.

I am on Sosnovka most of the time... not sure I have seen a great demand yet.

I stockpile, wheat, barley, sugar beets and canola and I wait for when I have a good 4 hour window. I sell the beets first at the freight yard.. as much as I can in an hour and then send the train away for extra coin before the end of the hour. Selling the beets drives the beet price down and drives the price of everything else up in the next hour. So I sell barley for the next hour at the Mill then send the train away again for extra coin. Selling the barley drives the prices of everything else up AGAIN... so you repeat the process for wheat at the Mill in the next hour and again send away the train for extra money, which drives the prices of everything else up again. In the fourth hour you sell the canola which has seen THREE price increases due to selling your other products. You sell this at the Mill and send away the train when you are done... this method will get you TONNES of coin.

Haven't got into doin' missions this time. From past experience you need a front end loader which I don't have at the moment.

You have to start doing missions!!! They pay lots of cash for small tasks.
