Figuring out the best crops in Farming Simulator 22 can be challenging. There are typically a few crops a player can choose from at any given time, but which is the right one? We’ll take a look at what players should plant for each month below.
What are the best crops in Farming Simulator 22?
There are 17 different crops that players can plant in Farming Simulator 22 (before adding mods):
- Barley
- Canola
- Corn
- Cotton
- Grapes
- Grass
- Oat
- Oilseed Radish
- Olives
- Poplar
- Potatoes
- Sorghum
- Soybeans
- Sugar Beet
- Sugarcane
- Sunflowers
- Wheat
Like crops in real life, there is a specific time to plant them and a time they yield an optimum harvest. However, unlike Stardew Valley, where each crop can be sold for a specific value, prices in Farming Simulator 22 can fluctuate, making it hard to figure out what to plant to get the maximum return. Additionally, the production chain system means that the most profitable crops are ones that the player can use to produce other goods.
To pick the best crop to plant in Farming Simulator 22, players should look at which ones can be planted during the current month in the table below:
Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti vs. RTX 3090 Specs
| RTX 3080 Ti | RTX 3090 | |
|---|---|---|
| GPU | GA102-225 | GA102-300 |
| Interface | PCIe 4.0 | PCIe 4.0 |
| CUDA cores | 10,240 | 10,496 |
| Tensor cores | 320 | 328 |
| RT cores | 80 | 82 |
| Base clock | 1,365MHz | 1,395MHz |
| Boost clock | 1,665MHz | 1,695MHz |
| Memory | 12GB GDDR6X | 24GB GDDR6X |
| Memory speed | 19Gbps | 19.5Gbps |
| Bandwidth | 912GBps | 936GBps |
| Memory bus | 384-bit | 384-bit |
| TDP | 320W | 350W |
Once players have found their selection, they should see which production chains in which the crops can be used. If players can complete even a part of the chain, they can sell the product for a higher price than the base material. So, essentially, the best crop in Farming Simulator 22 is the one that players can afford to process into other goods.
Starting off, options will be limited, but as the game progresses, players can eventually own the fields to grow crops and the buildings needed to process them into more valuable items. As a player continues buying land, they’ll be able to diversify their crop rotations more and more, and eventually, have a yearly cycle that will ensure no growing time is wasted.
