In honour of the Farming Simulator League, we figured it's about time we did a bit of competitive farming here on JAFS! We want you to harvest field number two in Riverbend Springs as quickly as you possibly can.
You know the one; it's the biggest, most irregularly shaped (snicker) field in your starting farm on this map, the one where Grandpa Walter shows you how to use a harvester in the tutorial:
Here are the rules:
You're free to plant and harvest any crop in the base game, using any equipment in the base game (no UGC crops or equipment); making the right choices in such things is part of the challenge!
You may not use any mods, console commands, cheats, or AI workers
The field must be 100% full of your chosen crop, and you must harvest 100% of it yourself
Record your efforts and submit the video of your feat through connected social media. Good luck! We'd love to hear about your prep and tactics in your submission, but it's not mandatory.
Note that this is a podium-finish reward that will only close and be judged on January 10: prizes will be awarded to submissions which fulfil the above conditions in order of speed, fastest first. We'll count from the moment the harvesting counter in the bottom-right of the UI starts ticking up to the moment it stops. Simple!
Remaining$50 / 235
Task: Completely harvest any crop in field #2 on Riverbend Springs as quickly as possible

Hello,
this is my contribution to the challenge. As you can see here, sunflowers were grown because they have a very low yield and therefore fit into the combine harvester without having to unload them. It took a lot of attempts to try out different techniques.
I think I can be very happy with the current result.
I'm excited to see what the jury says about it.

I had a great time completing this Fast harvest Challenge during a recent stream. It took multiple tries to get this fast time right as I ended the stream.

My tactic was to sow the field with sunflowers and harvest them along with the weeds, which reduced the yield.
Before starting this operation, I considered which crop I would harvest the fastest.
I chose sunflowers because they can be harvested at a speed of 15 km/h.
When harvesting sunflowers, we move faster despite the fact that our header is smaller. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm re-uploading this post because I previously uploaded a video using GPS from the game (also from harvesting sunflowers) and I wasn't sure how it would be treated in the final result.
Maybe in the next contest, you won't let us edit posts? š¤ Because we can edit them an infinite number of times, which reduces the chance of winning the main prize.

Here we go just in time! I discovered a glitch which I show in my video but I didn't use it during the final attempt.
