Farming Simulator 08
Farming Simulator 2008 (or Farmer Simulator 08) is the first game that appeared in the Farming Simulator series. The game is extremely similar to Farming Simulator 2009, due to the same objects put in the game.
Content
Maps
There is only 1 map in the game.
Crops
From the crops, there are only grain crops (such as wheat, barley, canola and etc.)
Vehicles and equipment
Gameplay
As aforementioned, the game has the same objects as in Farming Simulator 2009, but there are only 2 tractors and 2 combines. Other tools appear to be similar to those in Farming Simulator 2009. Small Trailer-only details are missing.
In addition, this game only had 1 type of crop, Wheat, and the only company represented was Fendt. This meant that players could only harvest plain Wheat, and were only able to use the Fendt vehicles.
The game was so simple that there were no drivers inside the vehicles unless you had the newer Farming Simulator Classic.
Mods
The game was conditionally able to support mods, however, it looked to be experimental. Also, the graphics were poor. The objects in Farming Simulator 2009 and Farming Simulator 2008 were possibly released in 2007, games being released 1 year before, so possibly Farming Simulator was already appearing in 2007, but of course, this is undisputed fact and true,

Trivia
- All of the above mentioned vehicles and equipment (except the front disc mower based on the Krone mower) did its return in Farming Simulator 09.
- At 14 April 2024, at Farming Simulator 08's 16th birthday, GIANTS made the edited cover of the game with the birthday baloons tied on the Fendt 8350 combine harvester and the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" text above of the game's name.
