For me, the fastest way has been sheep by far. I have 2 of the best harvesters, and 5 or 6 large fields, condor seeder... and I make far more money from selling wool with my 800 sheep. plan to make that 1,000 very soon. I got a mod that lets me hook the little blue bail trailers together, and I can haul 20 pallets each load. 20x5,000 = $100,000 per load.

I sell everything I start with, and I mean everything... harvester, both tractors, plow, etc. Then I buy a profihopper, the cheapest front loader, blue bail trailer, take out a 100k loan, and buy as many sheep as you can. When you earn enough money, either buy more sheep, a better front loader, better mower, etc. This is the best way I've found to start out so far.

Both the cheapest and most expensive front loaders can pull the bale trailer. The middle one cannot, so don't bother with it. Load up 5 full pallets of wool on the trailer, and haul them to the spinnery. Should be $25,000 per load (on normal difficulty, idk about the others).

It's easy to sell canola and earn LOTS. Canola will usually sell for about 2 grand per ton about all the time. Growing canola is the fastest way to earn money without selling anything or borrowing money

thing is, canola yields less than wheat, barlley and corn. potatoes yields the most in my experience. more yield more profit

Yeah, open your game save in Notepad & change the money.

I changed it after the first 3 hours, now I'm on 55 hours. So it hasn't turned me off the game.

Money with out any cheats....sell everything you got, take a loan, buy one or two power plant, switch game to maximum speed and go to bed or work.

You have got to think in a wide perspective!
1. Vehicles? What do you need for what you want to do?
example: I go to the shop and take a full price loan and i buy the tractor with front loader and i buy the pallet fork and bale fork and i buy a bale vagon and 2 mowers(small ones) and i place them on the trailer and i drive them to the golf course and im ready for mowing mission!
2. I hire workers to do my farming part wich if you dont know is for the field you have: Harvest, Plow, cultivate and the sow.
3. While my workers do the work I sell the small loading trailer and buy a bigger one and then empty all the silos.
4. I expand my fields with the closest ones but only seed them one at a time because you dont want the crops to fail.
5. Keep it going for a few hours ( it takes time pal ) and you expand more, hire more workers, buy more tractors, bigger implements and then you during all these times does mission as mowing and trasporting pallets.

At the end you will have a really fun working farm and you will feel like a sir!
I suggest you play this game with a friend :)
Thanks. John

obviously, there is a wide variaty of play styles in this game. if harvesting is your thing, i would reccomend saving all your money, and buying a better harvester as soon as possible, sell off anything you dont need to accomplish that goal.

if you want to do missions, take two of your tractors, buy a lawn mower attachment for each of them, then park them at each of the 2 lawn mowing missoin locations. next, i reccomend the best frontloader for transport missions. once you get the hang of things, you will make a fair amount of money for each mission...around $4-8k per mission, plus bonus. set mission frequency to 2 minites to increase the number of missions.

as far as animals, they are a real pain in the but. i prefer cows myself, but they are very demanding. i personaly dont waste my time with cows until i can afford the many pieces of equipment needed to give them all of what they need and want.

as for sheep, i never thought to put the pallets on the bale trailor...i just assumed i had to transport them on the forks of the front loader....using the trailor sure does change things in that reguard. in my game that i was using sheep, i found that the pallet filled up so fast, and sold for so little, it just wasnt worth the effort.

lastly, any money you put into placable objects (just the ones that make money) is well worth it. once you buy a beehive, or a solar pannel, or once you can afford it, a windmill, they will allways make you money, and you dont have to do anything in return. the downside to this is even though it is a legitamat part of the game, it really does feel like cheeting. the greenhouses, however, will require a bit of effort in order to sustain them. you will need to deliever water and manuer regularly. i should note that i just read a post about bugs, and from the sounds of things, it costs more money to supply the greenhouses with water then they will make.

Ive found that you can seed straight after harvesting without plow or cultivate, yeild has not gone down. Also doing this doesnt use any seed. If its a bug in the game, its not cheating :)

Also if something is on sale and you have enough money, but not enough to buy it at full price, the buy button is greyed out. :(
