What's The Deal With Plowing

I want to know what is up with hte whole plowig after you have harvested the smae field three times. I kind of think that this is one of those updates that yes does make the game more relistic but does it make it more fun? I would like it if you could clear this howle things up with me, cheers

I believe you can disable it in the options. You may have to read through some of the past Dev Blogs on their Facebook.

You can turn it off in the option menu, same with the 3 time fertilization

Its just to make it more realistic. Its a step towards a deeper system like soilmod. You can turn it on and off as you please. I for one welcome it. When there is no reason to plow. I simply do not plow. Now i have to and so i will.

I wonder if cultivating (I like using the cultivator WAY better than the plow) will count as plowing. It does in the current game. Also, will the combination "plow/cultivate and seed simultaneously) thing that is in the current game - will that count as plowing? It does not if you want to plant, say for example corn.

This was how you did it in the past, sounds like they want it more realistic so you will have to plow before cultivating after 3 harvests. I could be wrong though but thats just how it sounds to me.

Meh, I'm more not caring for this whole fertilizing 3x just to equal 1x on previous ones. Does it make it more realistic? yes maybe, does it make it more fun? not really...this should be an option to just do the 1x thing...and overall, many of the features I've read, just seem like an xpac, not a whole new game...will wait for it on sale....maybe.

There will be an option in the game to turn off the plowing after three harvests and you can adjust the fertilizing to 1x instead of 3x.

I'm pretty sure that they do different things in this new game, I heard that they have done lots of work on plowing

lol i always plowed anyways , this was my rotation =
cultivate---->sow--->spray crops--->harvest---->plow---->repeat
so i really thought it was nescessary todo it anyway's.
you normally plow in real life to get wrid of the remaining junk of the crops.
and cultivation is needed to flatten the ground in order to sow your seeds.
i'm not sure but i also believe you get more ingame money when you do it in the correct order.
it increases the quality of your crops =D

it's going to be released the 25th but there's loads of footage around.
there are lots of factsheets from the dev's about the vehicles and footage.
also many articles about the game =D thats probably what they are disscussing.
there's also a small amount of people who had the opportunity to test the game.
