Hiring of workers | Farm development Professional Farmer 2014 Guide

On this tab in the menu, you can select which work you want to have done.

After the first year of the game has passed, you will be able to hire workers. To hire one, you need to be on your farm. In the quick menu, select the "Workers" tab. Then, select what type of work you are interested in: plowing, loosening, seeding (of a given plant) and harvest.

After you select the type of work, select which field it is to be delivered on.

Select the field then - of course, this must be your field. Roll your mouse over that field to see what has already been done (plowing, loosening or seeding). You will also see what pay the workers will receive for doing the work. Note! Do not perform a work on a field twice. Even if you click on the same field by accident, you will pay for the work which will not be done.

A moment later, you will receive a notification that the work has been done.

After you confirm your choice, the work will be done in that field in no time at all. You will not even see the worker - the only thing you get is the notification that the work has been done. From your account, his pay will be deduced. The amount depends on the kind of the work and the size of the field:

The pay includes all the costs incurred by the worker so, you do not pay additionally for, e.g. seeds, fuel, etc. In the case in which you task the worker with harvesting, right after the crops are reaped, they will be sold at the collection point, and you will receive money to your account (which you will be notified of).

In the case in which you task the worker with harvesting, right after the crops are reaped, they will be sold automatically - you will then be notified of the received payment.

It is not cheap to hire a worker (he takes up about 1/4 - 1/3 of the income). It is a very fast way to make money, though. With several fields, you can, basically, give up the farming work, in favor of worker employment management. Then, you do not even need to leave your farm (unless you want to fertilize the seeded fields). You only need to task workers with work and change seasons, so that you can switch to harvest quickly.

The farming simulator turns then into a farm management game. For example, you own around 9 ha of land and you only employ yourself with hiring workers, i.e. you stay on your farm and hire workers for plowing, loosening, seeding and harvesting in all of your fields (the example 9 ha). Within a year, i.e. 6 seasons (since late Fall until the late Fall) you can cut a profit of 16 000 Euro, from wheat. When you need to pay up a loan (and need to pay 6 installments - 3600Euros in total) the income drops to 10 000 Euros which is a high amount anyways.
