Buying a new field on an auction | Agriculture Farming Simulator 2013 Guide

Prompt screen informing of a new field auction.

Another way of obtaining a new field is participating in an auction. From time to time you will be informed that an auction of one of the fields has begun and how long will it last (at what time does it end). On the map, a field put up for auction has a red number.

To participate in an auction, you have to drive to the field. Note that the sale icon changed to an auction icon. Step into it and pres the corresponding button to activate the auction menu.

Here you can see information on the area of the field, the nominal price (without an auction) and the current highest bid. You can always beat it. If someone offers more, you will be informed of it and will be able to bid further. Remember that the objective of an auction is buying the field for less than its nominal value, so don't overbid. It's best to avoid participating in the auction at first, leaving a vehicle of choice by the icon and returning to your other businesses. When the auction is about to end (keep an eye on the time!), switch to the tractor and bid - that way you are sure to buy the field for considerably less. After the auction ends, you will be informed who was the winner.
