Comparison
Below, we list all the options of growing plants in the game - the average crop, as well as the profits. At the beginning, you can only saw grain (wheat, barley, canola). Corn, sugar beets and potatoes require buying special equipment. Remember that the average crop amount is given for a field that has been sprayed or fertilized before the harvest. If you don't do that, expected a half of the number given.
Factors not included in the comparison:
- time required (for example a machine not wide enough);
- comfort (the ability to hire a worker);
- investments that have to be make (especially noticeable in the case of beets and potatoes);
- increased demand;
Plant | Crop (1ha) | Average profit (1ha) |
Wheat | 23,09 t | 12 720$ - 15 820$ |
Barley | 21,13 t | 12 320$ - 15 680$ |
Canola | 11,77 t | 12 523$ - 13 840$ |
Corn | 23,30 t | 10 300$ - 12 120$ |
Sugar beets | 66,90 t | 29 440$ - 31 240$ |
Potatoes | 74,30 t | 29 320$ - 30 130$ |
You can clearly see that the most profitable option is growing sugar beets and potatoes - they require you to invest a lot, but it pays off after a few harvests. You should try to start this activities when it will be possible (sugar beets seems to be a slightly better option, especially on the first stage, where you do not yet have the best harvester available). When beginning the game, sow mainly wheat and barley, as these two plants are the most profitable at this stage. There's not point in growing corn at all, at least when it would be used for selling.
You will receive about twice as more for sugar beets and potatoes than for grain. It is because despite the low price, the crop is very large. Notice also the differences in prices: on 1ha, the difference may amount 3000$, which has a huge meaning when selling a lot of product.
