About Farming Simulator 17 – Working & Reliable

Farming Simulator 17 is a deep agricultural sandbox where you manage every aspect of a farm, from soil preparation to market sales. This guide covers the essentials for getting your farm off the ground. The basic cycle for most crops involves five key steps:

These generate high income per unit and have lower yields by volume. This means you’ll spend less time driving back and forth to empty your harvester.

Use a combine harvester with the correct "header" for your crop.

Deliver crops to a selling point for profit or store them in your silo to wait for better market prices. 2. Best Early Crops

Loosen the soil using a plow (every three harvests) or a cultivator. Sowing: Use a sowing machine to plant your chosen seeds.

Apply fertilizer to increase yield. On Easy, you only need one stage; on Hard, you need three.

These offer much higher income per acre but require specialized, expensive machinery and involve massive yields that require frequent transport. 3. Making Money Early On
