Cultivating the field is usually the first step in preparing the field for growing a crop.

Attach the desired cultivator to a tractor and head over to a field. Starting at one corner of a field is recommended before lowering your equipment.

Note:

• Cultivators are required unless a direct sowing machine is used.
  • Encourages weed growth as well as cause small stones to appear in the field.
• Stones will damage equipment faster if playing with fieldstone.
• Weights may be required for the tractor.

Stone picking the field after cultivating is an optional step in preparing the field for growing a crop.

Attach the desired stone picker to a tractor and head over to a field. Starting at one corner of a field is recommended before lowering your equipment.

Note:

• Stones have three different sizes of small (yellow), medium (orange), and large (red).
  • Size determines how fast equipment is damaged.
  • Can be pushed back into the soil to prevent equipment damage by using a soil roller.
• Stones can be turned off in the settings but turning off fieldstone.
• Cultivators produce small stones.
  • Shallow cultivators, disc harrows, power harrows, direct sowing machines produce no stones.
  • Medium and large stones can not be pushed into the ground, and must be collected.

Sowing the field is usually the second step in growing a crop.

• 

  Monosem MS Electron, a special five-row planter that plants onions

To sow onions, you need a Monosem MS Electron planter, which is in Onion Planters category in the Vegetables shop section. Fill it with seeds and head over the field.

Note:

• Onions can be planted between March and April.
• Stones will damage equipment faster if playing with fieldstone.

Rolling the field after sowing is an optional step in yield improvement for growing a crop.

Attach the desired roller to a tractor and head over to a field. Starting at one corner of a field is recommended before lowering your equipment.

Note:

• Rolling the soil increases the yield by +2.5%.

Liming the field after sowing is an optional step in yield improvement for growing a crop. Liming is also good before next harvest seeding.

Attach the desired lime spreader to a tractor and head over to a field. Starting at one corner of a field is recommended before lowering your equipment.

Note:

• Liming the field increases the yield by +15%.

Fertilizing the field after sowing is an optional step in yield improvement for growing a crop.

Fill the desired equipment with the appropriate fertilizer type and head over to a field. Starting in one corner of the field is recommended before lowering your equipment and turning it on.

Note:

• Fertilizer is not required for growing a crop but does improve the yield.
• Applying fertilizer can only be done once per growth stage.
• Fertilizer is applied with either solid fertilizer, liquid fertilizer, slurry, manure, digestate, or oilseed radish to crops to increase the yield by +22.5% per application with a max of +45%.
• Stones will damage equipment faster if playing with fieldstone.
• Weights may be required for the tractor.
• Narrow tires (1.5 m or standard) are required if playing with crop destruction.

Weeding the field is an optional step in yield improvement for growing a crop.

Attach the required equipment to a tractor, if a sprayer is used be sure to fill the tank with herbicide and head over to a field. Starting in one corner of a field is recommended before lowering your equipment.

Note:

• Weeding can done by using either a weeders, hoes, or sprayers to increase the yield up to +20%.
• Weeders works on all crops that have small weeds except row crops.
• Hoes works on all crops that have small and medium weeds.
• Sprayers work on all crops that have small, medium and large weeds but has a yield penalty up to -15%.
  • Herbicide is used to kill weeds.
• Narrow tires (1.5 m or standard) are required if playing with crop destruction.

Harvest is usually the third step in growing a crop.

• 

  Holaras UMR 300-FC, a front attachment that is used to cut onion haulms
• 

  Holaras UR 205, a rear attachment that is used to windrow onions
• 

  Ropa Keiler 2 RK22, trailed potato harvester which head can be configured for onions
• 

  Grimme Varitron 470, self-propelled potato harvester which head can be configured for onions

With onions, you need to first remove haulm using Holaras UMR 300-FC and Holaras UR 205 machines, UMR 300-FC cuts haulm and UR 205 digs out onions and picks them into rows. After that, you need any kind of potato harvester that can also harvest onions, there are two potato harvester models that can be configurated with onion header - trailed Ropa Keiler 2 RK22 and self-propelled Grimme Varitron 470. To save some money with buying, the best variant of buying is Keiler 2.

Note:

• Onions can be harvested between August and September.
• Crops will wither if playing with crop destruction after the harvest season.
• Harvesters have a limited storage capacity and eventually a trailer will be required to empty the crop into.
• Stones will damage equipment faster if playing with fieldstone.

Plowing the field after harvesting is an optional step in yield improvement for next years crop.

Attach the desired plow to a tractor and head over to a field. Starting at one corner of a field is recommended before lowering your equipment.

Note:

• Necessary for rooted crops like corn, potatoes, and sugar beet after harvesting.
• Plowing increases the yield by +15%.

Mulching the field after harvesting is an optional step in yield improvement for next years crop.

Attach the desired mulcher to a tractor and head over to a field. Starting at one corner of a field is recommended before lowering your equipment.

Note:

• Necessary for wheat, barley, oat, sorghum, soybean, canola, sunflowers, corn, orchards, and forestry.
• Mulching increase the yield by +2.5%.

Transporting is usually the fourth and final step in growing a crop.

Attach an appropriate trailer for the crop type to a tractor to head to a harvester or silo. Fill the trailer with the crop and deliver it to the desired sell point.

Note:

• Prices will change based on the demand of a crop.
• Storing crops in a silo or storage building is recommended when waiting for the price to increase.
• Certain trailers can only be used for certain crop types.
• Great demand can offer higher price then normal.
• Selling crops using the train on certain maps usually pays a higher price.
  • Trains can be rented to transport large amount of crops for $1,000.
