As it is right now, there's no reason to use oilseed as a cover crop vs grass. So I guess I get the idea behind the change. I just hope that the subsidy will be slight, and not over abundant. If using oilseed gives you something, but grass is still far more profitable, I think that would be fine. I guess we'll see.

Dude seriously Hahahaha! Wow I have played this game so long I can live without it. The other one is needing AI cheat to work fields. Basic AI is ok.

This will be my first time playing with precision farming (I didn't try it in FS22). Do the field-prep steps involved with precision farming just replace the ones in base game? Reading up on it it sounds like plowing results in a yield deficit, so do you just skip plowing when doing precision farming?

I actually can't remember using Oilseeds in FS. From FS19 to FS25 -- I hardly have planted it. I do grass often. Just out of curiosity I'll start using Oilseed after May 8th. Giving away too much money as subsidy will kill the fun though. Fertilizing my fields are a must for me but I've always preferred the organic way like Slurry and manure spreading..

I gave up playing it seems so fake and dated game without Precision Farming.

Yes no plowing after harvest, except for root crops. There you will still need to plow after it.
And in rows between grape and olives, you would still plow/Subsoil.

Yup same, just bought the game yesterday in anticipation of Precision farming May 8th. Lots of mod installs and gamepad config to do in the mean time, jeez.

That's really over criticism I'd say. Precision Farming is exciting to have of course but without it the game is nothing like dated or fake or abandoning. It's always a good game, precision farming... well, it makes the game better precisely 🙂

idk exactly what this mod does and what it is for ?
Use it GPS and special field data to get the right amount when fertilizing or spraying on the fields ?
Is it useable only with special tractors and machines ?

I miss the "Crop Rotation Mod " !
And Seedbed reconsolidation too.

Can't be bothered with politics in this game..... because that is this DLC, does annyone off you ever saw a farmer with such machines ?
I live in the Netherlands but i have never seen a farmer using this, and i have even worked on a farm. The best way to fertilize your land is to drive it out on top of the soil and let the insects pull it into the ground. Injecting fertilizer such as we do in the Netherlands is bad, most of it gets into ground water, inisted of the soil.
