The practice of animal husbandry, forestry, agriculture, and establishing fully developed production chains provides you with complete authority over your land, enabling you to utilize it as you deem fit. Nevertheless, to fully realize the potential of these opportunities, significant capital investment is necessary. It’s often said that you must speculate to accumulate.
Farming Simulator 22 is comparable to its predecessor, Farming Simulator 19, with the added benefit of enhanced intricacy, additional gameplay options, and more diverse crop selections. Our primary focus will be the latter aspect. In this article, we will highlight the most profitable crops to cultivate, while ensuring that the process is straightforward and realistic.
Which Farming Simulator 22 crops bring the most profit?
Farming Simulator 22 offers a diverse range of 14 main crop types, including Barley, Wheat, Oats, Sorghum, Canola, Sugarcane, Berries, Cotton, Corn, Sugar Beets, Sunflowers, Potatoes, and Soybeans. The prices for each crop are dynamic, and constantly fluctuate over time, so there is no set value for the cheapest or the most expensive crop. However, Goldcrest Valley consistently offers the best prices for certain crops such as olives, soybeans, and wheat. Access to this location requires an additional investment to obtain a train, but it can be worth it if you strategically time your harvest and sales for the most profitable outcome.
