looking for a good us map

[JJ_Case]

cant seem to find anything that works and all the EU maps have a fence 2 feet from the road so large equipment is impossible to get from point A to B, a man needs some ditches.

Have you tried ‘Goldcrest Valey 22’ ? It's my favorite!

Fox Farms is nicely set up, if you're ok with the slightly tedious geography, which I guess you are :)

So I downloaded this map mod and all its supporting mods. The map design is beyond amazing. The farm yard with unique Elk Mountain Ranch barns, etc. are awesome. The cow barn works as it should, but with the horse barn and stable, there is something amiss. A horse can be purchased and transported to the unloading trigger, or purchased at the purchase trigger, at the gate. Food and water is accepted as they should at the delivery triggers. I've jockeyed a straw trailer inside the barn at the sliding door, every which way I can. Yet, I still have not been successful at laying down some clean straw.

The horse acts perfectly normal in the paddock, displaying all normal animations, UNTIL I take the horse for a first ride (100% or otherwise), upon return to the horse paddock and dismount, the horse has limited movement, and has lost all ability and freedom to move around any of the enclosure.

I've also tried this EMR horse barn on other maps and results are exactly the same. Help, Please!

On the Elk Mountain horse barn you have to dismount at the hitching post outside the barn, not inside the pen.

Depends on what size fields you want to work.

If you want small fields, go with GrayStone Farm, North Carolina. (Based on the real place north of Reidsville, NC) 101 fields of <1 up to @14 acres. The only trick is you will want to avoid the small ones on the edge of the map, because it's hard to complete contracts on them (if you play "New Farmer" mode, you will be in this situation. Some fields are so close together that courseplay will not recognize them, so you either have to open the gaps or custom draw them. (I did a video on this a few weeks back...) Also, there are only a couple of sell points on the map, so I placed one at the upper right (Danville, VA), the bottom (Reidsville, NC), and the left by the base farm (Eden, NC). This way you can sell eggs, milk, etc.

For medium size fields (15-45 acres) I HIGHLY recommend Frankenmuth, Michigan. This is a real map based on fields around the Weiss Centennial Farm (home of the Frankenmuth Corn Maze, which is field 11 on the map) that was established in 1853. There are lots of sell points and production options on the map, which is the only way it varies from the real location. There are also $2.8 MILLION of "trinkets" laying around for you to discover and cash in on. Some additional fun can be had on the "supercross" and oval dirt tracks in the western woods. There are ditches by the sides of the roads waiting to create havoc, and some fields are literally on top of each other (both cases like the real location), but you can work around them and really have a LOT of fun on this map!

If you're wanting BIG-TIME farming (largest equipment and high horsepower) then go with County Line (fictional, but most fields are 100-200 acres) and a very real feel to the map. Or Deer Creek, Ohio, which is a more intimate, real-world map, but with big fields.

If you want to know more about Graystone or Frankenmuth, let me know, or check out my YouTube channel as I have dozens of videos on them and County Line.

Enjoy!

Thanks, I'll try that!

Is there an unusual way of unloading straw?

The horses do not take straw. Just oats and hay (or alfalfa hay).

Okay, and thanks! No straw required for a clean stall and paddock, for this version of a horse barn. Good! One less thing. Anyway, thanks again for your help. I sure do like this map.

Not sure if it is still a factor or not but going back to FS19 there was a problem with horses producing manure so I think most map makers gave up on including straw for them.

FARMSIMGUY on Youtube plays on a lot of USA maps Maybe get a good idea from him. I am more of a small English map so not best to answer but i did enjoy the Elk Mountain Map which is Epic on a large scale! Pretty sure V2 has been released
