(Estimated Read Time: 5 minutes)

Farming Simulator 2022 lets players take advantage of many different streams of income to make money. One notable way to profit in this game is by accepting and completing contracts. So, continue reading as we help you get some extra profit from completing contracts in Farming Simulator 2022.

How to Complete Contracts in Farming Simulator 2022

Contracts in Farming Simulator 2022 are tasks assigned by the game's AI. The game randomly generates these jobs and their completion requirements. However, players can generally accept contracts that use the game’s various mechanics, such as plowing, harvesting, and fertilizing. As mentioned, each contract has specific requirements. Most, if not all, jobs need vehicles and other tools to complete them. Players can use their equipment or lease equipment if they don’t have enough money to buy the necessary items. Farmers who borrow items can do so through the Contracts tab instead of buying them. Once leased, go to the shop to get the pieces of equipment and drive them to the job site. Confirming that the job is complete will return the leased equipment automatically. Aside from the objectives and requirements, each contract rewards players with money after they complete jobs. Remember, the reward money typically varies depending on the difficulty of the required service. Additionally, contracts can disappear from the in-game menu. These jobs generally vanish because of changes in the landscape or season.

Farming Simulator 2022 Contracts Tips & Tricks

Completing contracts in Farming Simulator 2022 can be lucrative, especially for beginner players. Farmers may increase their return on investment (ROI) by maximizing work efficiency. So, here are some tips and tricks to help you maximize the rewards from these jobs:

Avoid Choosing Contracts with Small Rewards

It’s advisable not to fall into the trap of accepting contracts with fairly low cash rewards. Although these jobs are reasonably easy to complete, you’d most likely gain more money by spending time and effort doing other contracts. For example, you accepted a $387 seeding and fertilizing job to a field near the edge of the map. Even if you don't lease the equipment, you must still purchase the seeds with money from your pocket. Additionally, you must drive your tractor and seeder to that location, letting you waste valuable time. Once completed, you might've spent about 15 minutes doing this task for a measly $387. Remember, your ROI decreases if you lease equipment. So, completing higher-paying jobs can help increase profit margins.

Try to Stack Similar Jobs

Players can accept multiple contracts in Farming Simulator 2022. Take advantage of this feature by accepting similar jobs, particularly those that use the same equipment. That way, you can save money when you lease equipment by renting them once. Remember, don't confirm a job's completion using this technique. Instead, wait until you complete all accepted contracts. Otherwise, confirming the completion of a job will automatically return the leased equipment. If so, you must spend additional money to lease the items again to complete the other contracts.

Check Your Progress Frequently

Players can eyeball their contracts’ completion by looking at the field. However, Farming Simulator 2022 generally gives some leeway when farmers/contractors complete jobs. For example, you accepted a cultivating job and proceeded to sow the required field. However, you may not need to cultivate the entire field because the game may already mark the job as complete. Doing so can help you save time, allowing you to move on to the next contract sooner than later.

Put the Work In (Avoid Hiring AI)

At first, it might seem cost-effective to hire AI workers to help you complete contracts faster. However, these hired help can significantly cut your profits, reducing ROI. Sometimes, hiring AI workers for contracts won’t make you break even. With that, accepting contracts during seasons that give you some free time is ideal. In particular, summer in Farming Simulator 22 can be a great time to do these jobs since you can only plant grapes and canola during this period.
