How to get the best harvesting profit on FS25

Are you looking to maximize the money you get from your harvest on FS25? In this article, we’ll look at all the processes of caring for your fields and their effect on your final harvest. Here are the main things you should know:

Plowing

Plowing is one of the key things in the game, done by (we assume) every single player. So, it’s no surprise to see the system fully perfected and no actual changes being made.

Unless you’re growing root vegetables, you must plow the field three times. For potatoes, sugar cane, sugar beets, and corn, you must plow immediately after harvest, or you will lose 15% of your future profits.

Liming

Liming is important to balance the pH of your soil, which will be required for most of your crops. Doing this regularly will increase your future yield by around 15%.

Fertilization

Unless you’re allergic to money, fertilization is another crucial thing you should be doing. Similar to the previous release, fields on FS25 should be fertilized twice a year to increase your yield. Both solid and liquid fertilizers are good options. If you have animals on your farm, all types of manure will also be suitable for fertilizing. If you have a biogas plant, digestate is a byproduct that can be immediately used as a fertilizer.

Spraying

It’s important to keep your fields as weed-free as possible. After all, they will take away the precious nutrients from your plants and can derail your harvest. Use a harrow or field sprayer to avoid getting your crop ruined. This way, you will be able to get rid of most weeds.

Alternatively, you can choose to do none of this. Without spraying, your FS25 field harvest will be reduced by around 20%.

Bees

Everyone’s favorite yellow-and-black bug can help you pollinate your plants, increasing your overall yield. The entire sector gets a bonus if you simply place a beehouse at the edge of the field. The yield gains will depend on the type of crop you’re growing. For example, a beehouse next to sunflowers gets you an extra 5%. Potatoes and rapeseed get a 2-3% boost.

Mulching

Mulching is a feature that lets you use the stems and stalks left after your harvest—turning them into fertilizer that improves the quality of your future yield. After the harvest is done, simply mow down all that remains. Just like that, you will enjoy an around 5% increase next year.

Rollers

Rolling the soil with rollers right after sowing gives it more support and helps improve seed sprouting rates. According to the latest data, this will give you around a 2.5% increase in your harvest.

Bonsilage

This silage additive is used for both animal fields and maize. When used with your machinery, it will roughly 5% increase your harvest.

Stones

Stones in your field don’t directly affect your harvest, but the more stones there are in your field, the more your machinery will be affected. This means expensive repairs and an overall slower farming process. If you have large fields, consider using machinery that helps remove the stones from the soil.
