I would love to see a reward for "My top 5 must-have mods for Farming simulator 25".

The variation, or in some cases the similarity, between everyones lists would be great to see and discuss! Are there mods that everyone has and loves? Are there some mods that people have discovered to little fan fare and many do not know about? This is where we could find out. It would even double as a great tool for many to find mods they didn't know about!

It’s the only game where you can feel like a business mogul while accidentally flipping your tractor into a ditch because you were “just testing the physics.” One moment you’re optimizing crop yields like a pro economist; the next, you’re rage-quitting over AI drivers turning your silage delivery into a demolition derby.

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!

I would love a mod that would allow the FS25 AI to properly operate the grain hoppers during the course of a harvest - if only for within a marked field. My biggest complaint with Farming Simulator over the last few years has been that no matter what I seem to do, I buy these big expensive new harvesters and often times have to drive the hoppers alongside it while the AI gets to have all the fun with the harvesters.

Canola Oil

Producing canola oil in Farming Simulator 25 requires growing canola and processing it at an Oil Mill. Here’s a detailed overview of the process:

Prepare the field by plowing, applying lime (if required), and fertilizing for maximum yield.

Use a seeder to plant canola during the appropriate planting season, typically late summer or early autumn.

Load the harvested canola into a trailer and transport it to the Oil Mill. Ensure you have a tipper trailer capable of carrying bulk crops.

• Purchase an Oil Mill:
  This facility costs around $80,000–$120,000, depending on the map. Alternatively, rent or use one already on the map.

• Production Cost:
  Processing canola into oil costs $50/hour. The mill converts 100 liters of canola into 50 liters of canola oil.

• Output:
  Canola oil is produced in palletized form, with each pallet containing 1,000 liters.

This production will give you a great profit if done correcrtly, good luck!!

Farming Simulator has become more than just a game, it’s actually used as an educational tool in some schools and universities! The realistic farming mechanics and the way the game simulates farming practices have led some agricultural programs to incorporate it into their curriculum. For example, students studying agricultural engineering, crop management, and even environmental sciences have used Farming Simulator to practice their skills in a virtual environment.

People often say "why would you play this? It's boring!" - a lot of people don't understand that a lot of the fun in Farming Simulator comes from the fact that it is a low stress video game. It is easy to have fun when you are relaxed and hanging out with your friends in multiplayer, or even working toward your own sandbox goal in single player.

When not only trying to make money, but save money, wait to buy fields until they are already "ready to harvest". Buy them at the "ready to harvest" stage so this way you are making the most money back on your purchase right off the rip.

Also, sowing contracts require you to purchase your own seed - which lowers the overall profit from those contracts.

My thoughts and feelings on Farming Simulator 25!
