1. Wheat
Wheat is probably the first crop that most Farming Simulator players plant, and it’s a solid way to earn some good cash. Each hectare yields 8,900 litres of wheat, plus a lot of straw, both of which can be sold for a nice profit. To grow it, you’ll want to plant your wheat in September or October and harvest it in July or August. The average selling price of wheat is $1011.
2. Rice
Rice is worth growing in Farming Simulator 25. However, it’s not as easy as planting it in a regular field you’ll need a flooded field and start the crop in a greenhouse before transferring it. Despite the extra work required for planting, it’s a rewarding crop that offers profit. The average selling price of rice is $3300.
3. Barley
Barley is another excellent crop for earning money. It offers the highest yield of all the grains, producing 9,600 litres per hectare, plus plenty of straw. It’s also pretty low-maintenance, as barley is quite hardy and doesn’t need much attention. Plant it in September or October, and you’ll be able to harvest it earlier than wheat, around June or July. The average selling price of barley is $939.
4. Cotton
While cotton requires relatively few seeds and offers high profits, it takes a long time to grow and needs careful attention. Planted between February and March, it needs 500 litres of seeds per hectare and takes about 8 months to grow, with harvest in October or November. You can expect a yield of up to 500 litres per hectare, selling for around $3,756 per 1,000 litres. While cotton is profitable, it requires patience due to its long growth time.
5. Soybeans
Soybeans remain one of the most profitable crops in Farming Simulator 25. You’ll need 300 litres of seeds per hectare, with planting between April and May. Soybeans take about 6 months to mature, with harvest running from October to November. You can expect a yield of up to 450 litres per hectare, and they sell for around $2,334 per 1,000 litres. While they take a bit longer to grow and use more seeds than some crops, soybeans are still in high demand and a popular choice for their strong profit potential.
6. Oats
Oats yield less than other grains, producing around 5,700 litres per hectare. However, they’re typically about 50% more expensive than barley or wheat. Plus, oats generate more straw than any other grain, so when you consider the full return, they’re just as profitable as barley or wheat. The average selling price of oats is $1596.
7. Sunflowers
Sunflowers are a valuable and profitable crop in Farming Simulator 25 due to the high demand for sunflower oil. You’ll plant sunflowers between March and April, and they take up to seven months to mature, with harvest from October to November. You’ll need 300 litres of seeds per hectare, and you can expect up to 2,800 litres per hectare, with an average selling price of around $2,050 per 1,000 litres. While other crops might be quicker to harvest, sunflowers still provide a solid income and are a great option for your farm.
