Introduction

Welcome to another Farming Simulator 22 guide! In this video, we will be exploring the various methods of soil preparation in the game. From traditional plows to new tools and techniques, we will cover everything You need to know to turn over your soil and Create the perfect seed bed.

The Importance of Soil Preparation

Before diving into the different methods, it's essential to understand why soil preparation is crucial in farming. Properly prepared soil provides an ideal environment for seeds to germinate, roots to grow, and nutrients to be absorbed. It can improve Water retention, prevent weed growth, and enhance overall crop yield. By investing time and effort into soil preparation, farmers can set themselves up for success in their virtual farming ventures.

Traditional Moldboard Plow

The traditional moldboard plow is a tried and tested tool that has been used for centuries. It is particularly useful for fields that have previously been planted with crops such as corn, soybeans, potatoes, or sugar cane. These crops often leave behind a "need plow" state, which can result in a 15% yield penalty if not properly addressed. The moldboard plow clears this need plow state, ensuring optimal conditions for new crops.

Pros:

• Clears the need plow state for specific crops
• Prevents weed growth between plowing and harvest

Cons:

• Requires significant horsepower
• Brings up small stones that need to be removed

The Spader: A New Tool in Farming Simulator 22

The spader is a recently introduced tool in Farming Simulator 22. It works by using multiple shovel blades on a spinning cylinder to scoop up and mix the earth. Unlike the moldboard plow, the spader digs deep into the ground, compacting it with large wheels. While the spader clears the need plow requirement, it also brings up large stones that need to be collected using a stone collector.

Pros:

• Clears the need plow requirement
• Provides a seed bed bonus state for increased yield

Cons:

• Slower operation speed
• Brings up large stones that need to be collected

The Return of the Subsoiler

The subsoiler, another familiar tool in Farming Simulator 22, is known for its ability to cultivate the ground and clear the need plow state. It works similarly to the spader but tends to bring up large stones as well. To avoid damaging machinery, it is essential to use a stone collector alongside the subsoiler.

Pros:

• Clears the need plow state
• Cultivates the ground

Cons:

• Brings up large stones that need to be collected
• Slower operation speed

The Trusty Cultivator

The traditional cultivator is a versatile tool that can be used in various situations. It does not dig as deep as the plow, subsoiler, or spader but leaves behind a cultivated texture. Cultivators are effective in preparing fields for seeding after the harvest and can be used for fields without a need plow state.

Pros:

• Suitable for prepping fields after harvest
• Creates a cultivated texture

Cons:

• Does not clear the need plow state
• May result in weed growth

The Shallow Cultivator: A New Classification

In Farming Simulator 22, a new classification of cultivators has been introduced: the shallow cultivator. Unlike regular cultivators, shallow cultivators work at a shallower depth, leaving behind a stubble tillage texture. This texture is a mixture of dirt, earth, and plant matter, as the cultivator does not integrate all the plant matter into the soil. Although the game suggests increased weed growth with stubble tillage, there seems to be a bug as no weeds currently appear.

Pros:

• Creates a stubble tillage texture
• Suitable for fields after harvest

Cons:

• May have a bug regarding weed growth

The Power Harrow: Scratching the Surface

The power harrow is a tool that scratches the soil surface using rotating tines. It operates at a faster speed and leaves a stubble tillage texture, similar to the shallow cultivator. However, the power harrow does not bring up any rocks or stones and is supposed to stimulate weed growth, although there seems to be no evidence of increased weed growth in the game currently.

Pros:

• Efficient operation at a faster speed
• Leaves a stubble tillage texture

Cons:

• May have limited impact on weed growth
• Does not clear the need plow state

The Disk Arrow: Shallow Cultivation Fields

The disk arrow is the final tool we will explore for field preparation. It works similarly to the shallow cultivator and power harrow, scratching the surface of the soil. It leaves a stubble tillage texture and can operate at a higher speed. While it does not clear the need plow state, it is suitable for shallow cultivation fields.

Pros:

• Scratches the soil surface effectively
• Suitable for shallow cultivation fields

Cons:

• Does not clear the need plow state
• May have limited impact on weed growth

Conclusion

In this guide, we have covered the various methods of soil preparation in Farming Simulator 22. From traditional plows to new tools like the spader, subsoiler, cultivator, shallow cultivator, power harrow, and disk arrow, each tool has its pros and cons. Consider the specific needs of your fields and crops to determine the most suitable method for your virtual farming operations. Experiment with different tools and techniques to maximize your crop yield and overall success in the game.

At the end of the day, finding the right approach to soil preparation will greatly contribute to your virtual agricultural success. Happy farming!

FAQ:

Q: Which method of soil preparation is the most effective? A: The effectiveness of each method depends on various factors, such as the specific needs of your fields and crops. Experiment with different tools and techniques to find the best approach for your virtual farming operations.

Q: Do all methods of soil preparation clear the need plow state? A: No, only tools like the moldboard plow, spader, and subsoiler clear the need plow state. Other tools like the cultivator, shallow cultivator, power harrow, and disk arrow do not clear this requirement.

Q: Will using certain tools for soil preparation result in increased weed growth? A: Some tools, like the cultivator and power harrow, are designed to stimulate weed growth. However, there seems to be a bug in the current version of Farming Simulator 22, as weed growth does not currently occur with certain tools like the shallow cultivator.
