(Estimated Read Time: 6 minutes)

It’s harvest time as trees turn a bright brown or yellow in fall, especially in Farming Simulator 22. However, the work doesn’t end in autumn since there are still crops to plant and care for to help increase your farm’s profit gain. So, continue reading this Farming Simulator 22 Fall Guide as we help you make the most of this season.

Fall in Farming Simulator 22: An Overview

Autumn or fall in Farming Simulator 22 starts in September and ends in November. Most trees turn a brown or yellow hue during this season. Additionally, most crops planted during the spring can be harvested in the fall. Still, farmers can plant other crops to rotate their harvests. However, it’s important to note that players can only plant grains, specifically wheat, barley, and canola, during this season.

Farming Simulator 22 Fall Crops

Wheat

Start planting wheat in the fall of Farming Simulator 22 to gain extra income by the summer of next year. Besides selling it directly, refine wheat in the grain mill to make flour, which can sell for more money. Alternatively, feed the grain gathered from harvesting wheat to chickens and pigs.

Stats

• Planting season: September to October
• Seeds per ha: 500 l
• Yield per ha: 8,900 l
• Average selling price: $1,011
• Growth duration: 10 months
• Harvesting period: July to August

Barley

Barley is a beginner-friendly crop that new Farming Simulator 22 players can plant upon starting a new game. Like wheat, farmers can refine barley in a grain mill to make flour. Otherwise, you can feed the grain to chickens and pigs.

Stats

• Planting season: September to October
• Seeds per ha: 500 l
• Yield per ha: 9,600 l
• Average selling price: $939
• Growth duration: 9 months
• Harvesting period: June to July

Canola

Canola is another crop farmers can grow in the fall of Farming Simulator 22. Once harvested, players can sell it directly. Alternatively, refine it in an oil mill to make canola oil, which can fetch a higher price. Some farmers may also use the harvested canola to feed their pigs.

Stats

• Planting season: August to September
• Seeds per ha: 200 l
• Yield per ha: 5,800 l
• Average selling price: $1,809
• Growth duration: 11 months
• Harvesting period: July to August

How to Plant and Harvest Fall Crops

Most, if not all, grains in Farming Simulator 22 share the same requirements, especially for wheat, barley, and canola. These plants also have identical planting and harvesting procedures. However, some key differences exist between these fall crops.

General Requirements

• Tractor
• Cultivator
• Grain seeds
• Seeder
• Fertilizer
• Fertilizer spreader
• Lime
• Weeder
• Harvester with a grain header attachment
• Trailer

Note: Use console commands to instantly gain money to buy the required equipment and materials if you need the extra cash.

Planting and Harvesting Procedure

• Cultivate the field using the cultivator
• Load a planter with grain seeds
• Attach the planter to a tractor and spread the seeds to the cultivated field
• Load fertilizer into a spreader and attach it to the tractor
• Spread the fertilizer over the grain field
• Load lime into a spreader and attach it to the tractor
• Spread the lime over the soybean field
• Eliminate the weeds with the weeder when necessary
• Harvest the grain plants using the harvester with the grain header when they mature and sell them to the highest bidder

Other Details to Consider

• Place beehives next to a canola field to help increase the crop’s yield
• Don't speed up time when cultivating grain, as the plants will grow unevenly
• Spread manure or slurry after spreading fertilizer to double the fertilizer’s activation rate, increasing the yield

Best Crops in Fall in Farming Simulator 22

Canola generally stands at the top of the most profitable list of crops players can plant in the fall of Farming Simulator 22. One of its notable traits is its fairly reasonable buying price; new players can typically purchase canola seed bags at the beginning of the game using the initial funds. Canola can also be refined into canola oil to improve a player’s return on investment (ROI). Slightly falling short of canola as the best fall crop in Farming Simulator 22 is wheat. Although it's also one of the easiest crops to plant and cultivate in the game, its shortcoming generally lies within its selling price. In particular, it typically sells at a lower price range than canola. Finally, in Farming Simulator 22, farmers can still rely on barley to help increase their farms’ ROI. Barley seed bags are fairly inexpensive at the in-game shop. It also grows faster than other fall crops. However, barley doesn't sell as much as other crops this season.
