What is plowing?
Plowing is the initial step in preparing a new field. It can be done immediately after harvesting and is necessary for planting root crops. For grains, cultivation is sufficient. Plowing can be accomplished using a plow, subsoilers, or spaders.
To use a plow on a cleared field, follow these steps:
- Deploy the plow.
- Lower the plow.
You’ll know the plow is working properly when the ground behind it becomes ridged.
When to plow?
Plowing is one of the more challenging tasks in FS22, requiring a powerful tractor. However, since plowing is not always necessary after each harvest, you don’t need to invest in it right away. You’ll almost always need weights on the front of the tractor to use a plow.
- Root crops like corn, sunflower, sugar beet, and sugar cane do not require plowing. However, plowing before planting can increase yield by 15%.
- A plow, subsoiler, or spader is needed for plowing.
- Plows can also be used to destroy plants in the field.
- Plowing prevents or slows the growth and appearance of weeds, but only deep plowing will have this effect. Shallow-working subsoilers will not help.
- The use of a plow causes stones to move up through the soil.
- Plows can be used to create new fields when the appropriate function is activated.
After harvesting, and before using the plow, it’s advisable to use a mulcher to dispose of the stubble, as this can increase the yield of the next crop by 5%.
The default game settings include periodic plowing, so even if you sow grain and cultivate the field after harvesting, you’ll need to use a plow every few harvests to maintain the field’s quality. Red-colored fields on the map indicate that plowing is required. You can also tell by standing in front of the field.
Subsoilers
Smaller subsoilers can be used in concert with a planter.
Subsoilers are devices that sink deeper into the ground, but their work is equivalent to using a plow. They can be used instead of a plow for periodic plowing, and they’re much quicker. Some excavator models can also be fitted with a seeder or fertilizer spreader to accomplish two tasks at once.
Many workers have difficulty using combinations of vehicles, such as a subsoiler/seeder/planter.
FAQ
What is plowing in Farming Simulator 22?
Plowing is the process of preparing the soil for planting crops in Farming Simulator 22. It involves using a plow attachment to turn over the top layer of soil, which helps to loosen it and make it easier for plants to grow. Plowing also helps to remove weeds and other unwanted vegetation from the field. In Farming Simulator 22, plowing is an essential part of the farming process and is required before planting any crops. It can be done using a variety of different plow attachments, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
What are the benefits of plowing in Farming Simulator 22?
Plowing has several benefits in Farming Simulator 22. Firstly, it helps to prepare the soil for planting by loosening it and making it easier for plants to grow. This can result in higher crop yields and better-quality crops. Secondly, plowing helps to remove weeds and other unwanted vegetation from the field, which can compete with crops for nutrients and water. Finally, plowing can also help to improve soil quality over time by increasing its fertility and reducing soil compaction.
How do you plow in Farming Simulator 22?
To plow in Farming Simulator 22, you will need a tractor with a plow attachment. You can purchase these attachments from the in-game store or find them on the map. Once you have a plow attachment, attach it to your tractor and drive it over the field you wish to plow. The plow will automatically turn over the top layer of soil as you drive, leaving a freshly plowed field behind. It’s important to note that plowing can be time-consuming, so it’s a good idea to plan ahead and make sure you have enough time to complete the job before planting season begins.
