How not to destroy your crops on FS25: 3 best methods!

Farming Simulator 25 is a game about choices- your choices about your crops. If you make a wrong decision, you can cause issues for your produce and profit. From everything we do in the game, one specific issue is always disappointing. That, of course, is seeing your machinery run over your crops and leaving nothing behind. Many players are looking for an answer on how not to destroy your crops on FS25.

One wrong move with your vehicle can cause pretty big damage to your harvest. This can be very painful if you operate on thin margins and need a great harvest to continue investing. In this article, we’ll look at the options you can take to protect your harvest and not destroy your crops on FS25. Let’s take a look at the main methods.

Narrow tires and mindful driving

Your machinery is the main culprit for your crops’ destruction, so you must do something about that. Heavy machinery is notoriously harmful to first-growth period crops, but as a rule, the bigger your machinery is, the more damage it will do to absolutely everything.

Pay attention to the vehicle’s weight, but we understand that you will probably have to use a large vehicle for bigger tasks. In that case, pay attention to your driving style. Start driving slowly and carefully, and that will immediately reduce the destruction. Sure, that also means things will get done a bit slower, but the benefits from a better harvest should make up for it.

Another thing you should do is to take a look at your tires. Simple vehicle modifications, such as narrower tires, will reduce the impact area, making thinner lines, meaning fewer crops will get run over. Of course, the tires you choose must still work well with your existing machinery, so you must check individual specifications to see what tire widths work for you. Plenty of guides online for the most popular models should help you decide.

Use CD mod to remove the Damage

You must download a mod if you care less about perfect realism and want to remove the FS25 crop damage mechanic from the game. For hardcore players, this can be seen as a form of light cheating – but mods offer an opportunity for players to play the game just how they want it.

The most popular mod that removes crop damage from the game is CD Mod. It allows driving any vehicle on the crops, and they will receive zero damage.

It’s an excellent tool for beginner players who want to focus on learning the vehicle controls without getting punished for it. Many experienced players use it because this mod lets them focus on other tasks, not just expertly driving a tractor or a harvester through the field.

Regardless of your side, CD Mod solves this very common problem. But take it from us: once you get used to making donuts on the field with zero damage, the vanilla game becomes much more challenging. Don’t use it for too long if you want to get good.

Watch some Video Tutorials

There are plenty of amazing online FS creators that we love – and all of them know about this problem as well. It wouldn’t be fair to simply write their words here, so we suggest you do exactly what we did. Go to YouTube and check out tips and tricks from many experienced Farming Simulator 25 players.

Watching these playthroughs is good because you will learn more than just one thing. Seeing an experienced player show off their craft can help you get many more tips. Different strategies and techniques can give you some very good ideas, and returning to the game, you might even try a few of the things you have seen. Some changes might be massive – you could even return and completely redo the layout of your fields.

To sum up, most of the crop damage in the game is caused by wide tires and heavy machinery. If that’s your problem, changing the tires and your play style will make a massive difference. Other things, too, such as bad fertilization, can make your plants grow worse – but that’s a topic for a different time. And if you simply want easy results with no risk, consider downloading an FS25 easy-driving mod: it’s a lot less realistic, but that could help you a lot.
