Farm buildings | Elements of the game Professional Farmer 2014 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Warehouse
In this building, located on the Western side of the farm, you can store seeds and fertilizers. When you buy seeds or the fertilizer in the farming store, they will be, automatically, stored in the warehouse. To replenish the seed drill, or the broadcast spreader, you simply need to drive up, press [Enter] and select the item of your interest.
Silos
Each type of crops requires a separate silo. At first, you only have one - for wheat. There are six types of plants that you can store in silos: wheat, corn, barley, rapeseed, pea and soybeans. Therefore, there are six types of silos also. On one of the sides of the silos, there is an unloading place for crops, after which the crops are stored in the appropriate silo. At the other side, there is a pipe that loads crops onto a trailer underneath.
Level | Capacity | Cost |
1 | 100 tons | 5 000 Euros |
2 | 250 tons | 10 000 Euros |
3 | 500 tons | 20 000 Euros |
4 | 1500 tons | 50 000 Euros |
Each silo has four levels of upgrade. To erect a silo (level 1), in the first place, you need to spend 500 Euros. Each successive upgrade entails an additional cost but, also capacity increases. You are going to need silos level 3 and 4 when you expand your farm by buying many arable fields and much better farming equipment.
Petrol station
On your farm, there is a fuel dispenser. Try refuel all of your vehicles here - it is twice as cheap as refueling in either of the two petrol stations in town.
You simply need to drive up to a dispenser, press [Enter] and select "refill". If the tank in the dispensers runs empty, you need to go to town to buy the fuel from a wholesaler, which will then be stored in the dispenser on the farm.
Garage, hen coop, meteorological station and pen
Right next to the house, there is a garage or, more precisely, a garage shed. Although,, at the beginning of the game, this is where all the farming equipment is, each time after you are done working in the field, you do not need to take it back here. Leave it wherever it is convenient for you and where you will have it at hand.
In the Eastern side of the farm, there are two hen coops, where you can find hens and ducks that you have bought at the farming store. You do not need to feed them, they are self-sufficient and they provide you with eggs, or meat, on a regular basis (which is automatically being sold).
Close to the hen coop there is a spot where you can put the weather station. At the beginning of the game, you do not have it, but you can purchase it from the farming store, after which it will, automatically, appear right next to your farm. Thanks to it, in the menu, in the bottom left corner ([F3]) you will be able to review weather forecast for the next three days. Given how rarely the weather conditions in the game are bad, this is not too useful a piece of equipment.
Past the warehouse, to the West, there is a pen, with cows that you have purchased at the farming store. You can hold a maximum of 20 cows.
