I'm back in this game after a looonnng break. This time my goal is variety. I've never played a game over 6 weeks straight without burnout, so that's just me. I just bought the small field right across from the sawmill and planted trees, and I plan to do cows and maybe sheep. I'm definitely going to add this to my mix. Thanks!

You can also turn grass into silage at the biogas plant

Goldcrest Valley making silage and just the three fields that I have. That's it. Half million dollars. Good tip

I'm late to this video (3 years woo!) and now it's on the switch. my first time playing farming simulator and i'm addicted. Problem is unlike playing a game on the pc playing it on a portable (I got a switch lite) it gives me such a crick in the neck!

Man, can't tell you enough how fun and entertaining you are! I look forward to every video of yours, and just saying, you have one of those voice-over voices. You know, like the commentary on blue planet or such

48:50 The bales kinda look like drugs lol

great vid ,and i did not guess wright. i love doing silage but hate putting it in the pit in fs 17 and hate wrapping bales in IRL. so thanks for the tip

I took your advice in this video and after about I would guess 3 hours of work I made a profit of $24,000. It did pay for all the equipment I used money from pigs and swath to get me start.

This was the first video I ever watched of yours. Haven't missed one since. Keep up the good work. Kingdom Come rules!!!

I'm a console player but love your videos. I'm also play with my kids on a family map. keep up the good work. Keep your head up on the ex as well, time will heal things. I went through the same situation and it's been 8yrs. Stay strong sir.

Alot of helpful information. Thank you very much...

I have the platinum edition and the field viper / cow edition valtra Which dlc or how do i get this tractor legitimately

your vids have really helped me learn farm sim 15 and bow 17. just bought 17 today. though i play on xbox one. one question. are they planning a john deere dlc in the future to your knowledge? mods are (kind of) available on xbox but i dont see any jd's

With the Kuhn FBP 3135, I take straw up to 96% full then go hit a line of cut grass that was pre-prepped and rowed out. With the wrapper on, you get silage out of straw. Both are junk and both are basically free. So I guess you can do the same without the Kuhn pack by having a separate wrapper and both simply take a bit more time.

The most valuable crop is wind mills 😭😭😭🙃

Getting money for the start: On a new map, I usually do the gold-nugget-hunt first, sell any crop in the silo, get the maximum kredit and buy a wind-energy-plant from that. Next I go on "holidays": Set the time-lapse to the max and let it go for some (game-) weeks or I go on a mission-trip and working on every field the map offers. You mentioned the train delivery: Have you ever tried dumping your tractor trailer into the train bin (you should definitely do that at the sawmill ;) and what I like with the train at Goldcrest: you can use the train station as additional crop storage ;) You missed out doing grass-silage for the biogas plant! You don't have to have expensive equipment for doing grass-silage in the silo. Especially if you play on a map where you have a BGP sellpoint on your Farm (like it is on Drumard Farm - the very best map if you are just starting to play FS17, because it is completely equipped! Every machine you would think of starting a farm you already get at start - and everything is unused. Just buy your animals or energy plant(s) and start farming!) you can make money almost like in FS15 (at least on the PS4 version of the game). The Price for BGP-Silage fluctuates on easy at Drumard Farm between 2.000 and 3.5000 per 1.000 litres (that makes 8.000 to 14.000 credis for silage-bale equivalent!!!). So if you dump your silage silo with usually I fill it up to 750.000 litres of chaff, you get between 1,5 and 2,2 million Credits for each harvesting round (great demands not included in this calculation).

what like to see GIANT putting in new crops like tea or coffee or cotton

Hi Arthur, I do not post a lot of comments, even though I watch your channel frequently. But every once in a while, when I get bored with my life I need to get once your nerves. So, my substitute-you-tube-daddy just to force you to spend a few more hours on this topic: further down the production chain...is animal husbandry worth the effort? If you put into the calculation not only the crops but the investment in machinery and animals, where is the break even point? Is there for example any point in feeding silage? (besides we just do it for fun anyways)

I thought this was going to be a video on growing Weed.

I’m thanking you again man you’ve helped me so much in the past 24 hours. But I have a question how do I plant different things. Like how do you get the seeds for different crops

Interesting stuff - I notice you didn't take into account the seed usage for wheat and soybeans, there may be something there to increase the profit of soy due to the lower seed requirement. Obviously grass product is going to be more valuable over time as you don't have to replant it every season. But then as you pointed out grass is a lot more work and (maybe) less frequent yield (you still have to prepare fields and sow for the grains). But also when actually playing, soy is seen as "easier" - because I have to unload the harvester less frequently, and 1 truck load is more "value". I may be able to sell all my soy in 1 truck load, but with wheat I will either take a hit on the second load, OR have to wait a few days for the price to recover. Personally I like to sell my silage bales at the biogas plant because digestate = free fertilizer, and on some of the maps I play silage bales are also constant price, where loose silage does vary. And finally... how does all this compare to the value of logs if you planted trees on that field? :)

Love the new intro Arthur! Awesome vid!

I like soybeans in gold crest las espinocha corn sanovska I have to still get everything going i always check out the market prices for crops its the difference of buying brand new farm equipment or dealing with a lease

Had no idea you were from CLE, I graduated from Kent State, when you said blossom I instantly realized.

Hey Arthur I play fs17 platinum edition on ps4 I was wondering what is the red cans what are they and would I get rid of them thanks

I work for Kuhn in real life so when I went back and started playing my old farm sim 17 it’s so much cooler to me now then it was to me when it came out…just wish we had Kuhn auger wagons because that’s what I weld at work lol botec 55-90’s all day baby

Hey, Arthur, I'm new to your channel; been watching for about a week or so, mostly FS15 (bc recently dld it on XB1 for free til June), but have watched some of your tutorials and whatnot of FS17 (Gamefly's sending that one). Anywho, here's a question. What's better between, say, Silage as a fast money-maker, or buying sheep, and selling wool pallets? In other words, which one would be more profitable there. I would think sheep bc they multiply, but I could be wrong. Okay, God bless.

where did he purchase the dlc with the challenger in the intro. i would love to have it and i dont want to uptain it illigaly also how much did the dlc cost ?. fantastic video as always

With seasons I find soybeans to be a big money maker same as canola you gotta grow a variety of crops. And silage is worth alot a great way to make money

What I am gonna do is store silage at the biogas plant for a Great Demand. Should be more money than the barn. Thanks for this video Arthur!!!

On the wheat sale would it be better to sell straw bales over just selling the straw out right?

You mentioned the Switch Edition. I have it. It's just like 17 without any mods and DLC. My biggest complaint is it does not have a flad bed for pallets unlessIi use the bail trailer which I haven't tried. I hope Giants releases DLC. I need them lol. I might just buy the Platinum on PS4..Oh! Also the train...you actually drive it so to make money on wood either sell woodchips on a great demand or put the logs into the pond.

24:09 What is this mod? (The truck that you use) pls answer thanks.

The other thing about silage is if you use the right tools and the silage compactor silos, you can make vast, huge amounts of silage... Then just conveyor belt it into the bin and make a fortune... Even more so if you use the BGA Hopper 17 mod, which freezes the price for as long as there is silage in the bin, so you don't get price drops between dumps if you're using a loader bucket or switching the conveyor belts between silos. Yes it's more work than a crop you can sell direct from the field, but the payoff is far greater... (link to the BGA mod: www.fs-uk.com/mods/view/38723/bga-hopper-17)

I love your new intro man, keep it up

Does anyone know where to find the GPS mod on the xboxone version of farming simulator 17

Grass is best cause I don’t need to but extra seeds after a harvest and if you turn grass into silage bales if your playing on easy mode you get about 5 grand a bale

love ya man!

Arthur, the Follow Me mod. Can that be used for single player? I have 11 fields I am trying to maintain!

From where did you get the Cultivator?

You sir.... Are a legend☝️👍😎🚂 🚜

Selling straw at the barn is like war. War, war never changes

The thing is, you can't do hired help for most of what is needed for grass mowing + baling + wrapping. You can get a little help with FollowMe but that's it. So abusing wrapped bale sileage price stability is good in the early game but once you get tired of being a "one man band", doing all the work yourself and listening to that god awful bale wrapper sound over and over you can earn more money per in-game hour with real crops and hired help via multiple harvesters. In reality with FS17 the BEST crop is the one you have in your storage bins when the market price spikes. If you're still living hand to mouth (or rather field to sell point) then you can focus on profitability metrics like yield per seed amount or yield per acre but once you have a buffer just keep a good supply of everything in your storage for when it comes time to sell.

It may not be Sugar, it may be the sugar substitutes. Be sure of the sweetener in those cupcakes and cake, MANY soft drinks use HFCS (High Fructose Corn Surip). They contain NO SUGAR. Many people have issues with the sugar substitutes these days, headaches is one of the common complaints.

how you make it fast forward? i mean i think its mod or sth

Hello mr Arthur I am a big fan of you, i love the way you are making FS videos and i can honestley say you are my favorit author/vloger.I have a quastion. I saw wich is the most valuable crop my question is wich is the best way to obtain full crop from your field? it is better to turn on plow + 3 time fertil or cheat and turn off. do you obtain the same quantity of crop? my method is: I use zuhammer18,5 pud + zuhammer zuni disc and after this I cultivate I skip plowing plus two fertilization steps. I hope you understed me, sorry for my grammar, English is not my mother tongue.Big hug from Romania.

Best way to get more money per load is load up two trailers and get them to unload at the same time. So you get the most money for the first load. I use the Black Sheep trailer and sell 140,000 all for what ever the price is. You unhook one with the dolly still attached and while it’s unloading you back up and unload the other one. Can work with up to 4 of these with two trucks

Steve Perry's "Oh, Sherry". 👌

If you make silage at the bio gas plant you can can put it in a trailer and sell it in the red barn

My CASH CROP is grass, and wrapped to make Silage. Now Silage is fermented hay. But if making Silage out of grass you don't need to tedder it to make hay first. The moisture of the long grass will help with the breakdown as it ferments. So in short, cut the grass, windrow it and bale and wrap it. I use the Nadel R90 Telescopic Front end Windrower with the Krone 155 bale wrapper. As an example I was running 5 fields on a map. I was running wheat. Selling it for the best price and baling the straw and selling that. My net from both was about $250K. But when I made Silage from those same 5 fields I made over $535K. now, with a regular crop like wheat you have to cultivate it, fertilize, fertilize, and fertilize. With a plow every 3rd harvest. But with grass after it's been planted and you harvest it. It will already have the 1st level of fertilization, and you can give it the second on the day of the harvest. You then give it the 3rd fertilization the following day and harvest again the nest day. it's a quick rotation and a great cash crop. I've only done one video on this game and that was a week or so ago. And I explain my cash crop, and that same money cheat in detail. At one time on another save game I had 6 crews at one time and making over $2.5 million per harvest. It was too much to handle. Great video though sir, appreciate. GRASS!!! Another example, if you bale grass and sell it I was getting $440 bucks a bale. BUT,... and it was a BIG BUT,.... When I wrapped that same bale it was worth $2649 bucks per bale. That is my cash crop. The amount you get will vary per map. but it's a great go to Cash Crop. by the way, I commented at the beginning of this video. I have yet to see what you've named your cash crop. So hopefully were both on the same page in the end. Ding! Order up! Yeah, you'd like my setup, come over and watch the end portion of my vid and see my setup.

I did this on normal mode each bale sold for 2400 and my friend has it on hard mode and each bale sold for 920 is the price difference that much or is something going wrong

Did you wind up getting the Switch version? That's my first dip into FarmSim and what brought me to your videos.

Love the new Intro.

All those tractors blocking the road you'd almost think it was France, outside the ferry ports when the farmers are upset about something.

you DO need to fertilize grass after harvest, i have tested it many times and many others have also.

And why do you use sprayer instead of a spreader? Uses up less fertilizer?

Great video

Man I want that planter

As a Nintendo switch owner I feel incredibly disrespected by the lack of DLCs for this game and I have no hope of upgrading because the next two games in line are a shovelware joke. (500+ hours on map1)/(300+ hours on map2)

just got this game, but I found just harvest grass, then dumping it near my barn, and turning into bales is profitable

I was getting £5825 per round silage bail, why is the square bail so low?

You sound so midwestern! Very informative video.

what time u play gold crest on sat

where can i get the truck mod

Dont forget to fertilize the grass so that you get MORE bales. More bales=more money

im not sure that it is a crop since in fs15 silage was best by far but u said that silage/bales/grass/hay dont qualify as a crop i watched this vid to find out what the best crop was not to find out what i already know which is silage is overpowered , but as a long time subscriber and viewer good video for the purpose it was intended for .

for money, there is a mod that adds money, its in the mod area in the actual game, you can add the amount you want by pressing a certain key combination and typing in the amount for those people that want to modify their money without the risk of editing the files and breaking everything, i use it whenever im testing mod equipment or DLC, or when i make a mistake and accidentally buy something

great intro

How to question dude how do you make money without mods on Farming Simulator 17 without mods and without money makers like full of panels with Beehives windmills and harvesting crops that is one of my questions

you can walk in the pc version?

harvest any crops on all the fields and turn them all into grass?

Would this be accurate though? Because don't you lose 10% fertility after each harvest when you don't plow?

Cba watching the ful vid so im just guessing its canola

The small bales are better because you get 2x as many small bales and they sell for the same price. my ave harvest is 55/75k per field.. Also the small bales on easy sell for $5,800 per bale on PS4.

should turn dirt off on test maps to keep them shiny

And wich is the best out of the other crop pairs? Wheat or barley Canola or soybeans Sunflower or corn Potato or carrot thingy

Did you harvest at the 1st stage of being ready ,74% or 3rd stage,100%

its crazy you know the actual train horn sequence. kinda

How do you get rye and oat?

My favorite Dire Straits song is Romeo and Juliet.

Real most valuable crop is wood chips in the place able chipper. Place trees with the trees mod, grab them with the scorpion king, chip them with the place able. $12,000 per giant pine or spruce.

i did a test and the price for silage bales at the bio plant doesn't chance. £5880 a bale.

Hello Arthur Remember me? its been nice to return!

This is why i have a 200K trailer 😂😂

I already know how you did it using the notepad open with

Arthur: cheats $100 000 000, buys huge machines Also Arthur: works the tiny field

Old video but I just want to let you know that my 3 year old son saw your fancy tractor and immediately told me mine is to small and I need a new one like that

Well, you CAN make more with silage at the bga....over a period of time. The trick there is sell a little at a time when prices are up. IF you want to make money without all that work, sell everything, buy bees, but that would be absolutely boring.

I like the tests that many have done, and as you said, there is a lot of work in silage. There is also a lot of cost on machines, so i would make the most valuable crop barley, as you alreay have the machines from the beginning on most maps, and you only need the straw trailer extra, which is really cheap and low cost also. So if you put cost and used time into it, the most valuable corp would be barley, wheat or corn.

what crop truck is that?

I discovered this and found that if you Tedder the grass it’s easier to see...

I’ll take the responsibility you got to my games farming simulator (what ever version you play on) (save file) then you go career savefile and find money and change it what ever the hell you like

Ya know if your not going to use the GPS mod, you could add a compass mod. I have hardly ever not seen tractors and harvesters without a compass in them in real life. just sayin' 😛

Frank Sinatra - "New York,New York".

They are just preorder tractors. Anybody that preordered the game got the snake themes and the cow valtra. I have them on console lol

here you go buddy ... the broadway show tune from Escape from New York that you were trying to remember ... it's called Everyone's Coming to New York ... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9epY9Fnvb3Xnac.html ... enjoy ...

Anyone spending the time to cut grass then row it is wasting time... 1 plant a field of grass 2 (optional) fertilize 3 use forage harvester to cut it (YOU CAN HIRE A WORKER FOR THIS) 4 grass should be in a tipper of some kind at this point 5 set cruise control to 4-7 mph and dump the grass in a long straight line 6 bale/wrap right down the line. This also works for hay... just ted the line then bale/pickup.

Thought it would be wool honestly

Does the follow me mod work on console.... asking for a friend

You said the answer like 50 times
