Farming Simulator 25 Money Making Guide: Best Crops to Sell, Investments, & More
Posted on by justin
Money is a critical resource that fuels your agricultural operations in Farming Simulator 25. Acquire land, upgrade equipment, and care for livestock properly with the right amount of in-game cash. So, we’re here to help increase your cash flow with our Farming Simulator 25 Money Making Guide.
Remember, patience and persistence are key to making money in Farming Simulator 25. Nonetheless, you can amass instant wealth by inputting the Instant Money cheat on the command console. However, if you don't want to use admin commands, the best ways to make money in Farming Simulator 25 are listed below.
Let’s start with arguably the easiest money-making technique in Farming Simulator 25 that doesn't involve console commands – starting a new game and increasing the starting money. Without editing this field, each player should have $100,000 upon starting a new game. But you can increase this amount up to $1,000,000, allowing you to have great spending power right off the bat.
As a new farmer, you’ll likely focus on a few farming operations. With that, you might not need all the equipment given to you at the beginning of the game. So, you may be better off selling these items, especially the vehicles, to help deepen your pockets.
Some starting equipment can be sold at around $200, while others can fetch up to $50,000. Remember to repair and repaint the equipment before selling it to help increase its value. You can also sell unused farm structures while you’re at it.
Many fields in the different Farming Simulator 25 maps already have harvestable crops regardless of the state of ownership. Players can take advantage of this feature to flip those fields.
Field flipping in Farming Simulator 25 is the process of purchasing a field, harvesting it, and reselling it promptly to make a profit. This approach enables quick earnings without requiring constant upkeep duties. Nevertheless, it’s not a viable long-term strategy for gameplay, but it still functions as a fast way to boost your return on investment (ROI).
Mowing grass and producing silage can be lucrative money making techniques in Farming Simulator 25. Note that silage bales can be more valuable than standard hay bales and offer livestock feed rich in nutrients. Additionally, grass regrows up to three times annually, providing farmers with a steady source of income.
However, it typically requires about $200,000 to purchase the farm equipment to produce and harvest grass, particularly the mower, baler, and wrapper. Nonetheless, the benefits outweigh the costs when producing silage bales, especially for the long term.
The greenhouse in Farming Simulator 25 provides a controlled environment for producing high-value crops all year round. This establishment also minimizes crop destruction, especially when this feature is active.
Also, this consistent source of income won’t be affected by seasonal fluctuations, enabling the growth of high-value crops such as strawberries, tomatoes, and lettuce that command higher prices in the market. Lettuce, in particular, can fetch a hefty sum of about $7,200 per month or $40,000 per year, depending on the amount sold.
Like Farming Simulator 22, Farming Simulator 25 lets players gather collectibles on each map. Earn $10,000 for each collectible gathered in Riverbend Springs and Hutan Pantai. Collecting all 25 collectibles for these maps gives you $250,000.
On the other hand, Zielonka has 50 collectibles, and each gathered collectible yields $5,000. Acquiring all 50 collectibles from this map also gives you $250,000.
Generators are a great way to earn passive income in Farming Simulator 25. These structures operate 24/7 and also require little maintenance, helping farmers save on costs. Apart from providing energy to farmlands, players can also sell generated power for additional income. Although buying generators is fairly expensive, the investment can be worthwhile, particularly after these structures give you more money than the cash spent in purchasing them.
As with other excellent money-making methods in Farming Simulator 25, manufacturing products generally requires hefty investments. In particular, you must first establish a production chain, which typically requires the purchase of a product-producing establishment.
Nonetheless, Farming Simulator 25 offers multiple production chains to its players. Some excellent examples include the Bakery for bread and cakes, Dairy for products like cheese and yogurt, and Cement Factory.
Although planting crops and raising livestock are generally primary income sources, players can also earn money through contracts. These missions involve completing specific tasks on NPC farms within a set timeframe. Note that contracts vary in scale, equipment needed, and payment amount, making them a useful way to boost income, especially in the early stages of the game.
Among the different contracts in FS25, the fertilizing jobs are perhaps your best money making technique. Players can finish these jobs fairly fast, especially when using fertilizing machines with high range.
Alternatively, you can transport wood. This contract type typically doesn't require other investments, such as fertilizer pallets. That way, farmers who are strapped for cash don't need to spend the extra cash on other items to finish the job.
What’s Farming Simulator 25 without planting and cultivating crops? But of course, some crops are much more valuable (and easier to farm) than others. The best crops that are most worth your time, effort, and money are the following:

1. Cultivate the Best Money Making Crops
What’s Farming Simulator 25 without planting and cultivating crops? But of course, some crops are much more valuable (and easier to farm) than others. The best crops that are most worth your time, effort, and money are the following:
Spinach
Spinach is one of the new crops added in FS25 and it's an extremely lucrative one. It only takes three months to grow and sells for an average price of $650. Farmers who invest in a good harvester, such as the Oxbo MKB-4TR, allow for continuous harvesting. When combined with the right fertilizers and field preparation, spinach becomes a profitable choice for many players.Soybeans
Aside from spinach, soybeans have an average selling price of $2300 and a growth time of six months. These legumes offer high profits and low maintenance, making them a popular, lucrative crop choice. Despite slower growth and lower seed yields, soybeans are still profitable due to their high selling price. Additionally, soybeans can be harvested with the same headers as wheat, requiring minimal initial investment.Cotton
Then there’s cotton, which sells for an average price of $3200 and takes eight months to grow. It’s highly money-making, has low seed requirements, and the yields are abundant. However, special equipment is needed for planting, harvesting, and transportation, making it a strategic investment for experienced farmers.Get Started with a
