- Peas & green beans unveiled
- New details for rice & spinach
- 25 crops in total
- New series “FS25 in 25 seconds” explains spinach
After rice and spinach, GIANTS Software announces two more crops for Farming Simulator 25: peas and green beans. Starting November 12, virtual farmers can look forward to growing a variety of 25 crops on their fields in total. Various tree species and vegetables in greenhouses add even more agricultural variety, and the number of crops corresponding to the game's title is a coincidence, the publisher and developer notes.
Cultivating peas & beans
Early in a farmer’s year, peas are planted in March - a month before green beans. They take four months to ripen, and farmers use specialized harvesting equipment to harvest the crop after applying the usual steps to improve yields. Huge machines like the OXBO EPD540E, a self-propelled pea harvester, guarantee a satisfying harvesting season between July and October. Or August and December for green beans.
Rice & spinach with special requirements
New details make rice and spinach even more appealing to farmers who do not shy away from crops that require special attention: Rice and long-grain rice count as two crops with individual needs for water management and equipment for planting and harvesting. Both are planted in paddies, fields deepened for water retention. Spinach is not for farmers who like to sleep in: The leafy crop can be harvested twice a season after being sown once - if farmers are quick. They also have to hurry after harvesting because it can't be stored and must be sold immediately before it withers.
More details are yet to come
On the way to release, GIANTS Software still has some features to show off. Announced through previews, the creators recently revealed minor features like a new third-person perspective on foot or grazing animals cutting grass on fields.
Farming Simulator 25 will be released on November 12th for PC, Mac, PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S. It features more than 400 machines and 150 real-world brands. Pre-orders are available now on selected channels. Visit the official Farming Simulator website for more information.
