The best money comes from layering strategies. Grapes and olives are high-maintenance but insanely profitable, especially when processed into juice or oil and sold in winter. Silage bales remain a steady moneymaker—grass is easy, and wrapped silage sells fast.

Sugar beet and potatoes shine if routed through production chains like sugar or starch, turning low-value harvests into high-profit products. Early on, contracts are great for cash flow, but once your farm grows, production chains outpace them.

For passive income, wind turbines and solar panels pay off long-term. Mix in high-profit crops, greenhouses (mushrooms are top-tier), and smart market timing. Diversify and reinvest wisely, and you’ll rake in cash efficiently!

Excellent overview - 'layering strategies' as opposed to all eggs in one basket makes a ton of sense

My plan to get a reasonable amount of money as quickly as possible is:

First, look at which meadows there are on the map, then see if they are freely available, otherwise maybe turn a field into a meadow or sow clover or alfalfa. Then mow and put it in a fermenter silo. For this I have a special mod that can process grass, clover, alfalfa, hay, straw and wood chips into silage.

There is also a mod that allows you to harvest straw from missions. This way you get a lot of material. And if the price is right, everything is sold.

One of the quickest ways to make money is to buy land sow corn and make lots of silage, which I then sell to biogas. Another way that I often use is greenhouses or animals such as sheep or cows, although it would be better to have more than 100 cows if you want to earn a lot. With sheep the best thing in my opinion is the clothes even if they need to do 2 processes, that is, first the fabrics and then you can make the clothes. With cows, I often aim for the direct sale of milk but products such as dairy products and cheeses also always make money. I also do a lot of greenhouses because they require little maintenance and make a lot of products.

For me one of the fastest ways to get money is the following:

We buy several fields, and in those fields we plant grass, we do the whole process to get 100% yield.

Once that is done, we will pack and tape it, and we will sell it in one of the most expensive points on the map.

My second way is:

With the grass from the fields we will feed sheep, which will give us wool, which we will put in the thread factory. which will give us pallets of thread. Once we have the thread we will put it in the clothing factory, in it we will generate clothing and we will sell it at its highest point at 10k. which is very profitable.

and those are my 2 ways to make money in FS25

To maximize money efficiently in Farming Simulator 25:

- Crop Choice: Focus on high-profit crops like spinach, soybeans, and rice. Spinach can be double-harvested every three months, soybeans have low maintenance, and rice, though complex, yields high profits.

- Contracts: Complete high-paying contracts like fertilizing or harvesting. Use borrowed equipment for early game to save on costs.

- Field Flipping: Buy fields ready to harvest, sell the crop, then sell the field for a profit.

- Silage Production: Mowing grass for silage is lucrative. It's repeatable, offers good profit, and can be done year-round.

- Passive Income: Invest in generators for electricity sales, or greenhouses for continuous crop production.

- Sell Unused Assets: Liquidate unnecessary vehicles, buildings, or even animals early on for quick cash.

- Loans: Use loans strategically; the interest rates are low, providing capital for expansion without immediate financial strain.

- Forestry: Convert wood into chips for better profit than selling logs directly.

I'm new to the game, but I found that soybean farming is a good way to make money. At least for me, who's just starting out, soybeans are paying off well.

Why do I say this?

1. Soybeans have one of the highest selling prices

2. Soybeans have a relatively short growing cycle (3 months)

3. They are very cheap to grow (no expensive equipment needed to plant and harvest)

4. They require no maintenance

As a new player, growing and harvesting soybeans is very profitable.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've edited my post to explain a bit more why soy is profitable for me.
