One of my favorite money makers is the Mushroom Greenhouses. Details below:

  • In the construction menu go to the greenhouse section and select Small Mushroom Greenhouse.

  • Place 2 to start with on land you own.

  • Buy a water tanker from the shop. E.g. the Abi 500 tanker. Attach this to your tractor.

  • You can use the water point under the windmill on RiverBend Springs map to fill the tanker up with water or on any map you can just find the nearest water source with a not too steep and angle to the water to fill up the tanker.

  • To do the above, reverse the tanker into the water, but don't go too far. You just want enough that the option to fill the tanker is displayed on the screen.

  • For the small Mushroom Greenhouses it will take 3 and a half trips to the water source to fill them once the water is transported to the greenhouses.

  • In the owned productions menu select each Mushroom Greenhouse at a time and select each lot of mushrooms.

  • Once selected, activate the production for each.

  • I like to select the output to storing so that the pallets of Mushrooms are spawned in the pallet area but you can set the output to sell.

  • It takes about 3 months in game for the Greenhouses to spawn a pallet.

  • Once pallets are being produced you can transport these pallets on a trailer to the best selling point on the map. To check where you will get the best price on the map you can go to the prices area and select Mushrooms.

  • Once you have sold your Mushroom products, that's it. You have completed your Mushroom production.

I really enjoy raising sheep to produce wool and clothes. It's a simple line of production, but I find it very profitable.

It all starts with herding the sheep, where we need a suitable location to keep them and provide grass or hay for their feed. So it's important (first of all) to buy an enclosure for the sheep, which is where they will stay. There are some cheap options, between 40,000 and 50,000 euros, ideal for beginners. As for food, you can harvest the grass yourself from the fields or pasture, while hay needs to be produced by drying the grass and making it with a baler.

With the sheep in the paddock, they will automatically start producing wool over time, so the wool is stored on pallets around the paddock and we can collect it when the pallets are full. But always remember to look after your flock, the sheep need to be fed to guarantee wool production.

Then we can move on to processing the wool into fabric. You'll need to buy a spinning mill (around 40,000 euros for a basic version), and that's where we'll take the pallets of wool that are ready (you can use a flatbed trailer or a pallet fork).

The fabric produced can be sold or taken to a sewing workshop to be made into clothes. It is also possible to use the fabric or even the wool to produce ropes, which is also profitable. The choice depends on your strategy.

Once you have produced your clothes or ropes, you can sell them at the points of sale on the map. It's a good idea to keep an eye out, as some places offer higher prices, depending on demand.

I really like sheep farming, it can be very profitable and an excellent investment, especially for those just starting out... the main costs are the paddocks, the feed and the spinning mill, but the investment is worth it. Selling clothes adds a lot of value to the product and optimizes profits.

Producing cheese, however obvious it may seem, involves a series of steps, so I'll do my best to detail what you need to do:

1. Cattle

How would we have cheese without what gives us milk? So start by securing a barn for cows, there are several, differing in price and area of capacity, now all you have to do is buy the cows.

2. Milk production

For your cows to produce milk effectively, try feeding them total mixed ration (TMR), as this guarantees higher production, but if you can't, they'll do just fine on hay and grass, just reducing their production.

Note: TMR is made by combining hay, straw and silage in a mixer.

Note 2: Remember to always collect the milk, it's necessary.

3. Collecting and transporting the milk

Buy or rent a milk tanker, use it to extract the milk from the barn.

Drive and take the milk to the cheese dairy, just pour it in at the indicated points.

4. Cheese dairy

Buying a cheese dairy is a good investment, you convert the milk into cheese for a fee and it is generated in 500-liter pallets.

To transport the pallets, I recommend a forklift, taking them to the transport trucks.

5. Sales

Sell the cheeses at markets or fairs, prices vary depending on the moment.

6. Final thoughts

I think it's a good form of income, as it's better than selling raw milk, but it requires a certain constancy in its production, which ends up requiring a certain amount of care at all points in the process, such as ensuring regular feeding for the cows. I hope it can help those who are just starting out in the game!

Here’s a detailed guide to managing a production line in Farming Simulator 22/25 (general principles apply to both versions), using bread production as an example. This includes setup, operation, and selling the final product.


1. Setup

a. Land Preparation

  • Choose a plot: Select a plot of land near your production facilities to minimize transport time.

  • Plow and seed the field: Prepare your land by plowing and planting wheat or barley, which are essential ingredients for bread production.

b. Required Equipment

  • Tractors and tools: Invest in a good tractor, a cultivator, a seeder, and a harvester.

  • Trailers: Ensure you have trailers for transporting harvested grain.

c. Production Facility

  • Purchase or lease a grain mill to process wheat or barley into flour.

  • Purchase or lease a bakery to turn flour into bread. Both facilities can be found in the in-game production menu or placed on your farm.


2. Input Production

a. Growing the Crop

  1. Seeding: Plant wheat or barley in the prepared fields. Ensure the right planting season to optimize growth.

  2. Fertilizing: Apply fertilizer to improve yield. Use solid or liquid fertilizer, manure, or slurry.

  3. Weeding: Remove weeds to maintain crop health. Use a weeder or herbicide.

  4. Water and Lime: Some fields may require lime to maintain pH balance or water for irrigation (depending on game settings).

b. Harvesting

  1. Use a harvester with the appropriate header to harvest wheat or barley.

  2. Collect the grain in a trailer and transport it to your grain mill.


3. Processing

a. Grain Mill

  1. Deliver grain: Deposit the harvested wheat or barley at the grain mill.

  2. Monitor production: Check the production tab to ensure flour is being produced. Adjust production rates if needed.

  3. Store or transport flour: Collect flour pallets when ready or directly transfer them to the bakery if auto-delivery is enabled.

b. Bakery

  1. Supply flour: Deliver or auto-transfer flour to the bakery.

  2. Provide water or additional ingredients: Some production chains may require water, sugar, or other inputs depending on mods.

  3. Activate production: Start bread production in the bakery’s interface.


4. Selling

a. Transport Bread

  • Once bread is produced, it will appear as pallets outside the bakery. Use a forklift or pallet trailer to load them onto a vehicle.

b. Choose a Selling Point

  • Check the in-game economy tab for the highest selling price for bread. Prices vary by location and season.

  • Transport the bread to the selling point with the best price.

c. Optimize Timing

  • Use seasonal fluctuations to your advantage by storing bread and selling when prices peak.


5. Maximizing Efficiency

  • Upgrade Equipment: Use higher-capacity harvesters and trailers as your farm expands.

  • Expand Fields: Increase the number of fields or add additional crops for more production.

  • Automate: Use workers to handle repetitive tasks like plowing and harvesting.


6. Profit Analysis

After selling the bread, compare production costs (seeds, fertilizer, machinery maintenance) with profits to assess efficiency. Reinvest profits into equipment, facilities, or land expansion to grow your operation.

This methodical approach ensures smooth operation, high-quality bread production, and maximum profit in Farming Simulator.

One option that you can currently use in the base game is the used machine market.

Open the vehicle menu and look under the Offers tab to see which vehicles or attachments are available there with a decent discount.

Buy the corresponding vehicle or attachment and drive it to the workshop of your choice. Have the vehicle or attachment repaired and/or painted there.

This will mean additional expenses, but the value of the machines will increase.

If you now sell your vehicle or attachment, you will receive more money than you spent.

If you now happen to use a mod, such as the workshop with staff, where you have a one-off purchase cost and pay a monthly fee depending on the equipment in the workshop, then the repair and painting will not cost you anything extra.

This means you can maximize your profit from the used machine market even further.

Have fun trying it out
