Managing sales | Agriculture Farming Simulator 2013 Guide

Checking on prices regularly and selling at the suitable moment is a key matter.

You can really do a hard work on the field, coordinate actions and logistics on the vehicles, but the road to a financial success will be much longer if you won't sell your crops at the best possible moment. The aim is earning money without too much effort.

The first thing is keeping an eye on the prices of crops. They change daily, every hour. If you sold a large quantity of crops recently, you can expect the prices to fall (however keep in mind that it doesn't always have to happen). When they do fall, you should refrain from selling anymore for the time being. You can still grow that type of grain, but sell different crops. Sometimes it's also worth to wait by shop itself, for example when the price of barley in the mill falls below 700 $, wait for an hour or two and check the prices until a better one appears. With a full trailer of 21 000 l each 10 $ change in the price increases the overall value by around 200 $, so don't wait for too long and block the tractor and trailer.

The second issue refers to the increased demand of certain goods at given points of sale. From time to time, one of the five points will announce an increased demand for one of your crops, together with the price and the how long it will last. Such a price is marked in red on the price list.

It's a great moment to empty your silo. The price can even double when compared to the original one. The exact price can be checked in the PDA.

Therefore you shouldn't sell everything you have at once for the standard price. It's better to wait for a better offer and hope for some luck regarding the increased remand, as it's completely random.
