Here, the gameplay begins with a nice amount of cash - 70 000 euro. Additionally, you'll find four machines that will surely be helpful at the beginning of your career at this farm:
- Tractor Landini 6 175
- Trailer SIPMA PR 600 EKO
- Plough Cargool J-23
- Cultivator Horacio Platon 3GR
You will quickly learn of the usefulness of these machines. You'll have three fields at your disposal, but only one is sown with wheat. The rest has to be prepared from scratch - the fields are not plowed, cultivated, or sown. This means that the whole process is on your hands.
We now know for sure that a sowing machine will be very useful on our farm - go to the used machines purchase and buy Kuhn Sitera 3000, a sowing machine for 13 600 euro. It's the cheapest and only choice from the available stock, which should hold its own during the sowing phase. You should remember about good fertilizing - here, Kuhn axis 40.1, a used centrifugal fertilizer for 19 450 euro should do the trick.
With such set of vehicles, you can begin preparing the fields. The plough and the cultivator can be found in the warehouse by the main courtyard. Connect the plough to the tractor, and plow both fields. Then, cultivate the soil using your cultivator. Afterwards, buy 500 kilograms of fertilizer in the store, connect the centrifugal fertilizer and fill it with fertilizer in your warehouse. Take to the field and fertilize the unsown acreages.
What should I grow? Rape would be a good idea - it's an investment that has a good rate of return and guarantees an adequate profit. Buy few hundred of rape seeds in the store, connect the sowing machine to the tractor, fill the machine with seeds, and sow both fields.
Once the sowing is done, you should seriously consider applying a spraying against weeds, insects and fungi. Without adequate protection, the ratio of each of those harvest-inhibiting factors can reach up to 80-90%, which lowers the harvest even to 50%. So this step shouldn't be omitted. You can order your employees to do the spraying.
When done with the harvest - you should hire some help for the duration - Your silo should contain about 18 tons of rape and around 8 tons of wheat. After getting the load to the purchase, 1 ton of rape should net you about 1 760 euro, so the whole amount should give you about 31 500 euro. Wheat will net you considerably less - with the price of 785 euro per ton, your profits should be around 6 500 euro. The difference is noticeable.
With the several dozens of euro in your pocket you can invest in new fields, especially those close to the household - buying one of them will allow you to expand your business; you should also look for a sprayer. Xena Tissi for 18 000 euro should be a good investment to begin your venture.
