Farming Simulator 22: Grains – wheat, oats, barley, sorghum

This section of the Farming Simulator 22 guide provides information on the characteristics, profitability, and use of wheat, oats, barley, and sorghum.

In this guide to Farming Simulator 22, you will learn about the different types of grains, the amount of harvest you can get per hectare of crops, and the equipment needed to grow them.

• Equipment needed
• Wheat
• Barley
• Oats
• Sorghum

Equipment needed

Growing grains is a simple activity in the game and can generate straw that can be sold for income. Here are the machinery required for growing cereals:

1. Light tractor – basic equipment works fine for growing grains.
2. Cultivator or seeder with cultivator,
3. Seeder (some seeders have a cultivator and a fertilizer tank),
4. Harvester with grain header,
5. Average trailer – it’s best if its capacity matches or is a multiple of the harvester’s capacity.
6. Optional: forage wagon or baler for collecting straw.

To maximize profits:

1. Fertilize the field twice,
2. Roll the soil immediately after sowing,
3. Mulch before cultivation/plowing,
4. Prevent weed growth,
5. Do not harvest during rain,
6. Plowing does not increase the amount of grain harvested.

The collected goods can be stored in a silo.

Wheat

Wheat has parameters, yields, and prices similar to barley. A grain header is needed to harvest it.

1. Straw can be obtained from it.
2. It’s used to produce flour in a grain mill (150l of wheat -> 120l of flour). Flour can be used to bake a cake or bread.
3. It’s used as feed for chickens.
4. It’s used as feed for pigs.

The yield of wheat is 17,000l per hectare.

Barley

Barley is similar to wheat and requires a grain header for harvesting.

1. Straw can be obtained from it.
2. It’s used to produce flour in a grain mill (150l of barley -> 120l of flour). Flour can be used to bake a cake or bread.
3. It’s used as feed for chickens.
4. It’s used as feed for pigs.

The yield of barley is 19,000l per hectare.

Oats

Oats are particularly suitable for cultivation if you have horses, as they are the main source of their food. A grain header is needed to harvest it.

1. Straw can be obtained from it.
2. It’s used to produce flour in a grain mill (150l of oat -> 188l of flour). Flour can be used to bake a cake or bread.
3. It’s used as an ingredient in the production of cereals.
4. It’s used as feed for horses.

The yield of oats is 11,000l per hectare.

Sorghum

Sorghum is another grain available in the game that requires a grain header for harvesting.

The following are the uses of sorghum: it does not produce straw, it is utilized in the manufacturing of flour in a grain mill, where 150 liters of sorghum yields 158 liters of flour, which can be used for baking bread or cake; it can be fed to chickens, pigs, and horses. Sorghum has a yield of 16,000 liters per hectare.

FAQ

What types of grains are available in Farming Simulator 22?

In Farming Simulator 22, players can grow four different types of grains: wheat, oats, barley, and sorghum. Each type of grain has its own unique characteristics, such as growth time, yield, and selling price. Wheat is the most common type of grain, while oats and barley are often used for animal feed. Sorghum is a lesser-known grain that is primarily used for animal feed or as a source of biofuel.

How do you plant and harvest grains in Farming Simulator 22?

To plant grains in Farming Simulator 22, players must first prepare the field by plowing, cultivating, and fertilizing. Then, they can use a seeder to plant the desired type of grain. Once the grain has grown to maturity, it can be harvested using a combine harvester. The harvested grain can then be sold or used for animal feed. It is important to pay attention to the weather and soil conditions, as these can affect the growth and yield of the crops.

What are some tips for maximizing profits when growing grains in Farming Simulator 22?

One way to maximize profits when growing grains in Farming Simulator 22 is to pay attention to the market prices. Prices for each type of grain will fluctuate based on supply and demand, so it is important to sell when prices are high. Another way to increase profits is to invest in better equipment, such as a larger combine harvester or a more efficient seeder. Finally, players can also consider using crop rotation to improve soil health and increase yields in the long term.
