Whats the point of cultivating?

[📈Business Woof📈]

So i have noticed that after harvest i can seed right away and it doesn't change the quality of my field. I was wondering if that is realistic at all? Should you cultivate before seeding?
And if not is there a way to change this?
Also i would like to use disc harrows, what and when can i use that for?

You can only plant or seed on cultivated or plowed fields. Some planters or seeders also cultivate as they plant. These will state so in the description.

Disc harrows, power harrows, and cultivators all cultivate. Plows and subsoilers both plow.

subsoilers plow and cultivate

hmm weird, i used a seeder mod that says it does not cultivate, but it still let me seed

ive tired 3 times to make a short reply about cultivating... turns into a wiki page too quick.
basically its to improve yields. in rl its also field management, turning the chaff and crap on top under a few inches and bringing a freshly turned field ready for its next crop. the furrows also can collect more moisture and that means the seed beds are better for the seeds start.
its all about taking care of the soil. the better a job you do with the process the better the fields yields. the fertilizing, the nitrogen injection the turning of the soil. the weed spraying etc... farmers spend more time i think caring for the fields then in them planting and harvesting. better the soil the better the profits discounting mother natures influences.

Seeding without plowing or cultivating is only possible with direct seeders. The shop entries tell you which are or are not direct seeders.

Seeding after harvest can be, as direct seeding / no-till planting is a thing in real-life. Unlike the game, however, it can have massive impact on field composition compared to standard till planting.

Should you cultivate before seeding?

In the game, you need to either plow or cultivate before planting, unless you use a direct seeder.
In real life, it's a question of what you want to achieve.

Disc harrows, power harrows, and cultivators all "cultivate" in this game. The primary differences are working widths, working speeds, power demand/working width ratio and flexibility.
Disc harrows are the middle ground here - they have better width than power harrows and worse width than cultivators, best working speed, best power demand ratio, but no flexibility (as in: power harrows can be combined with seeders to create a makeshift direct seeder).

it is realistic, we do it all the time at the farm i work at in ohio. also cultivating has no benefit in that situation, though plowing does if you have periodic plowing on

Thank you for your answer! So in-game it does not change my field quality if i seed directly right after harvest

Thank you. Actually its amazing that you work on a farm!

I am curious about Disc harrows, power harrows, and cultivator each must have a particular use and must have association with type of situations. I will be happy to get this info from people who are using these equipment
" The primary differences are working widths, working speeds, power demand/working width ratio and flexibility." - more info on this will be helpful. Thank you all for the info.

Not a question that can be answered easily. All three have so many variations and setting options that they can achieve very different things depending on how you set them up.
If one were to break this down to the most basic difference, then disc harrows would be used to cut and turn the soil in a manner similar to a plow (though much shallower and finer), a cultivator would be used to loosen, mix and pulverize the soil without turning it and down to a medium depth, and a power harrow would be used primarily for loosening and pulverizing the top soil for final seedbed preparation.

As far as the game is concerned, in a nutshell:
Cultivators
+ Largest working widths
/ medium power/working width ratio
- lowest working speeds

Disc Harrows
+ highest working speeds
+ best power/working width ratio
/ medium working widths

Power Harrows
+ flexibility (can be combined with small seeders to create a makeshift direct seeder)
/ medium working speed
- smallest working widths
- worst power/working width ratio

Thank you Thankfriend

Many major companies are entering in India with their equipment. This information will be very helpful. Here are farmers are holding lands like 10 acres. Some families do have upto 300 acres, I feel that this game will be part of future Agriculture education system of India. There are many fields those need such types of simulation games. I admire the Farming Simulator Game Designers and developers.
