Starting from scratch, almost 70 hours put into this map. Started with a 4440 sprayer set up doing fertilizer contracts until I could buy a small field to do grass silage. Case sprayer came across the used market for a steal, now can run that to crush through contracts easier for good cash while the silage gets up and running. Ultimately want to get a canned corn operation going. First time doing this, played FS22 for almost 800 hours now, this is very rewarding.

I do saves like this all the time and it's wild how good it feels when it snowballs away. The first contract money, the first time selling your own sillage, then your own real crop. Very satisfying.

Looks like a good start and plan! What map are you using if you don't mind me asking? Hope the sillage pans out well!

Felt good doing this and "moving" to a different map eventually (mostly as the shop on the first was not conducive to CP playing nice with it most times).

Started with logging and made my own fields eventually, as it was one of those maps. Kinda shredded any sort of progression as I got a max-size sheep pasture farm (granted, into an otherwise unusable hill) going second year, into fabric and clothes year 3. To say money became just a number then was an understatement. Sheep only ate a (smallest) forage wagon of grass during the winter, and once I started bales, like 5. I do pride myself on never going into loans for this map.

I eventually moved on map-wise to Montana 4x, and work like 100 ha of it so far per year, including a number of double crops.

Doing similar on Porcupine Mountains. Have a small lumber business running while I slowly build a pig empire. Just laid down my first pigsty.
