hello it's ricardo and welcome back to farming simulator 2022.
today we're going to talk about canola one of the first crops you get to grow
when you're starting out in the game but how would you do it it's not all that straightforward
as just planting things in the ground letting weather happen and then harvesting your crop
oh no so we're going to go through each of the steps you can get a crop on the go
yes folks is it another lovely day on the farm the sun is shining i have got a field
that has been cultivated it has not yet been fertilized and needs lime just so happens i've
got a tractor here with a lime spreader which i'm going to apply a nice coating of lime to
this field no problems we're going to get in we're going to hire a worker on the pc by pressing h
and they're going to go across and start spreading lime on this field now lime is one of the
important parts of farming simulator and treating your fields and there are many benefits to adding
it in regards to yield so lime is really a soil conditioner and controls the acidity in the soil
so applying a nice bit of lime before applying your crop is a must now if we look at our calendar
now whilst our worker goes and employs that line we can see we can grow canola in the august
period perhaps the only thing we can grow really crop wise in the august period other than grass
and oil seed radish here's our field it's been lined you can see in the field info on the bottom
right hand side of the screen we no longer have to line this field and you can see it's coated
with that nice white powder indicative of lime great next up we need some fertilizer and for that
we're going to need to get a fertilizer spreading device now these are very similar to the lime
spreading devices you may want to just use one device and then unload your lime and then load
it up with some fertilizer i however am using the government subsidies mod which allows to
have a little bit of money so i've gone out and bought myself a swanky gray and black tractor
with nice black herbs now you can see i've got my brettel spreader right there this will take not
only lime but it'll also take fertilizer i'm going to press r now when close to one of my
lime pallets or fertilizer pallets and you can see my fertilizer increasing in the bottom
right hand side as i start to refill now a little bit of maneuvering and moving about
will allow you to get the other pallets so you're going to have to drive your tractor close
along with the brettel spreader close to those pallets so you can refill them and again pressing
r starts the refill now i'm not going to fill this right the way to the very top but i am
going to put my three pallets of fertilizer in the hopper and then once i've done that and it
disappears it's time to get on back to the field and get that fertilizer coating on over a lime
our tractor and our bridal spreader has now arrived at the field
that we have just applied lime to and now we're going to apply a level of fertilizer
same as before as we applied lime is the same process of applying a solid fertilizer to a
field like what we're going to do today line the tractor up on the corner of the
field and you can either drive it yourself you want that more tactile hands-on approach
or hire a worker we've got plenty of other things to do so we'll be hiring a worker as you can see
as the fertilizer is applied it changes from white to a nice rich deep brown color now we're
going to let that worker continue with his task and come back in just a minute for the next step
so with our worker doing his job you can see the field is now 50 fertilized that's good stuff
so we've applied lime cultivated the field applied lime and now what we've done is we've applied
fertilizer what we could do now is get our cedar and get seeding our canola on our field
so this is the starting device that we're going to use to seed our field again we're going to
line our tractor up to one of the corners the bottom left hand corner of the field
as per our orientation we're going to line it all up great and here's the thing about when you're
starting off it won't let you do anything stupid so by pressing the f1 button on the pc you can
then bring up the help menu for this particular device and with by pressing y you can select the
different plants now if you select something that cannot be sown in this season for example soybeans
and you try to hire a worker it's going to tell you it's the wrong season for this time of work so
you know you're giving a little bit of a helping hand so if you look at the season for canola we
can also look at where we can sell it now gold crest valley and the farmers market will also
give it a really good price also as well you can sell it like things like cereal factories as well
so here we are we are now going to plant canola we've selected canola as the planting
option of choice and you can see we're now planting it in lovely satisfying furrows
so as that planting continues you can see the difference in the field now see we got fertilized
50 we've got a yield bonus as well we've also got our field that's been fertilized by 50 now with
the introduction of this new field info feature that gives you more information during update 1.02
we get more information on how to tend to the fields you can see that we've got some weeds
growing as well all right we can't actually see them but we are given a little information
weed growing and you need a weeder and also a bit of rolling so let's get on and get that done
now get used to going to the shop as we're going to clever motors
in our particular farmland environment this is where you're going to go to spend quite a bit of
money to get the devices to apply treatments to your fields and we're in the market for a weeder
now there are different methods of applying machinery to weeds in firming simulator 2022.
we're going to use this pneumatic star 900. it's quite cheap and we're also going to get a little
tractor for a medium-sized tractor by which to pull it now i usually go for wheel weights
on this as well but you haven't really got to i'm just trying to get rid of some of this money from
this government government subsidy once you've got your tractor you've done your modifications
and you've bought it it'll be ready to pick up in the parking lot of the shop and then you can
attach your device to it so here we are here is our brand new tractor we're going to go and
hook that up to our weeder a very tactile weeder that's going to pull small weeds out of the soil
after a little bit of touring and throwing left and right backwards and forwards you can connect
up your weeding machine and then get yourself back to the field to start weeding that field
so here we are back at our field you can see it needs weeding we've got our weeder on the back
of our tractor also needs rolling and that will be the next step so great into the tractor and
let's get weeding we'll hire a worker for this pressing h again hires a worker the weeder then
unfolds or deploys its arms and starts weeding this will weed the entire field
thank you very much and you can see right we've got reader weed growing
and after a short period of time you'll see those weeds will disappear
one of the next things we need to do is roller ring and for that we're
going to need a power roll device i'm going to go for the power roll
1230 hd it's quite cheap 41 000 pounds in farming simulator uh go for the standard
real brand and set up it makes no difference and then we're also going to need a tractor by which
to pull it now why do farmers roll fields may benefit from rolling when it's essential to push
down stones which may have damaged machinery or create a better plant soil contact in puffy soils
after frost heave or bad poaching so with rolling you're compacting the top three to four inches of
the soil down and that means that grass growth and weed growth can be suppressed between 50 and 50
this is what it says on the internet so a good bit of rolling is worthwhile now rollering a field
is your choice at this point in the game to roller a field is purely your choice you want to go and
spend the money to rent or buy the machinery it does however increase your yield as you
can see as the ruler is going across the field you can see we're going from kneading rolling
to the point where it's been rolled as to we have met the criteria of the field so we're still 50
per fertilized we've got a 75 yield bonus and then we're ready once it's finished rolling
to move on to the next steps the next steps are going to be applying additional lime to
the surface and then once you applied that lime a bit more solid fertilizer and you can
do that by applying lime on top of this rolled state without going to the next growing cycle
now we're not going to labor the point you've seen how to apply lime and to apply fertilizer
and once it's been done you can see what sort of yield you'll get from your field
so here's the field growing canola we're growing
because it is august we've got a yield bonus from rollering or applying lime applying fertilizer
planting our seeds rollering weeding and you can see our yield bonus is way up there at 98
and we're a hundred percent fertilized now we wait until the harvest season just gonna be next july
here is a canola field in harvest season it's been fertilized limed and treated with the exception
of rollering and you can see its yield is 95 as opposed to the other field where we applied
all the same treatments lime fertilizer rolling weeding and that's got a yield bonus of an extra
three percent giving it 98 so it is worthwhile giving a bit of a rolling to get that extra bit
of percentage as well it's not really a necessity at this point in the game but here comes the fun
bit it's time to get the old combine harvester out get your worker hired to get all that
lovely canola harvested into that combine harvester and ready to take it off to market
so in essence that has been how to grow canola from step one a cultivated field applying lime
applying fertilizer sowing your seeds doing a bit of weeding doing some rollering applying more lime
applying more fertilizer and then waiting for time to do its thing for weather to happen and
these crops to grow then all that's left to do is to get it all loaded up onto your trusty trailer
and take it off to your selling point or production point of choice we're gonna take it to
the farmers market it's nice and easy there's all my canola in the back of my trailer over the grid
press the i button and then you can then exchange your harvest for some much needed money
anyway i've been ricardo thanks very much for watching this in-depth video
on how to grow canola in farming simulator 2022. hope you've enjoyed it check back
for more videos in the series on farming simulator and other games i'll see you soon
you
