Best crop to make money with

[Caspco]

To start off, I want to make it clear that I know Poplar is the best one at the moment, but due to the teadiousness of it I am not taking it into account. Basically I am asking for any good alternatives to this crop.

Grass -> Silage. You can harvest 3 (or is it 4 now?) times a year.
But it's not exactly a crop, and can get tedious as well.

its not the crop its what you can make after it ;-)
I simply use every type to make flour and after that my bakery bring a good income with bread.

I do grass for silage and sheep. Silage goes to the Bio Plant to make Digestate which i use to make Solid Fertilizer which i use to fertilize the grass and fields. Sheep wool for fabric and clothing and rope Cotton for fabric and clothing and rope

My wife and I do silage, always, in every FS we have played over the years.. Bail the grass (round or square), wrap it to make silage, let it ferment, get a automatic pickup bailing trailer, and haul it in to sell it. We typically purchase land that already has grass planted on it or you can plant the fields you have to grass. Remember to fertilize it after every cutting to get the best yield. Seems to make a lot of money.

If it´s just crops->grain , then soybeans. Has a high price, uses less seed and does not generate that much grain so you don´t have to drive that often for to sell it. Else i once had a list somewhere, and if you can speak german a female youtuber did a list of all that stuff.

If you are looking for the best cash crop you can be lazy with and just send the AI to handle it is soybeans. I would build up with that then do sunflowers or canola and start making the oils as these can be done by the AI easily. That way while the AI is planting/harvesting etc. I can work with animals or some other more intensive loop. Also another thing to think about is how much you can make per pallet. For example clothes can be sold at 30k a pallet on easy while kimchi is more profitable you will spend more time handling pallets. Another option is buffalo milk. No pallets just fill a tanker and haul to sell.

Grass Silage is still the most profitable, because you can harvest 3 times a season, no need to replant.

The most relaxing crop with profit is cotton.

The crop from the standard trio (wheat, oat, barley) most profitable is wheat.

I've done the same. For hundreds of hours. Beware, Silage burnout is real. I can't bring myself to play my '25 farm because I've done too much of this lol.

Oats and grass. You can do a lot of things with these crops, most of which are pretty profitable.

If you factor in the cheapness of the equipment needed to get into it I think one of the best crops for profitability in this farming simulator is one of the newest ones. Rice. It gets a pretty big return on not all that much investment... at least compairing it to the other grains.

Well, yes....and no xD

It´s a bug, making rice boxes with long rice in the tin factory makes an insane profit while doing wet rice in a bag will give you the same .... with a minus in front of it. It will hopefully be fixed next patch, but both rices in the tin factory produce either a too huge plus or even too huge minus.
