Hello fellow farmers,
I still been hot and heavy on Farm Simulator 15. I decided one map was just not going to appease my addiction. I added another save to the mix, Coldborough Park Farm. My other save, Mulroy Bay, is more of a livestock orientated map were Coldborough is all about agriculture. So now I have a choice, if I’m feeling like feeding cows, I jump onto the Mulroy Bay save. Need some time in the fields, I have the Coldborough save.
I actually have 60+ hours into the Coldborough save and haven’t gotten much done. I have went through two harvests covering six fields. The fields are decent sized but have noticed that big implement seems gaudy in this place. Meaning big is not always better. My son thought he would help his father by buying him a harvester. I had been renting my harvesters in attempt to feel out each one for the big job they have in the fields. Well, he managed to get me the biggest Case IH in the store. Haha, yep, tracks and everything. It is so big that I have only one overhang to store the behemoth. Thank goodness it’s maneuverable and can get through the tight gates. He meant well. He just didn’t understand the plan I had.
Most of my time spent in the save has been experimental. I have been trying different things with course play and it just eats up time. I am getting better at it. I am more of a manager than a tractor driver. Oh, I can drive, just like managing the automation.
Yes I have a Green Initiative plan for this save. I am already have part of my plan in place. I have six solar panels and a windmill in place. Not only is there an income coming in steadily, I am also supplying green energy to my region. I also am getting geared up for silage production. I am planning to give the Bio Gas plant all the silage they need to produce renewable energy. Sure the income is good, but my main plan is green technology.
I am still going to plant and harvest , although I’m finding the task repetitive and struggle finding the fun in it. Don’t get me wrong, the logistics part is so much fun. This game is packed full of logistic work.
What I’ve done so far. I sold off all my livestock. I just don’t have the time to take it seriously. Planted and harvested a couple of times. Planted sugar beets for the first time. Started mowing the grass fields for silage conversion. The logistic of getting it to the plant has yet to be thought out though. I’m still trying to find the most efficient way to get the product there. The Bio Gas plant is a little distance away from my grass fields. I will figure it out.
The future, buy all the fields and gear up for a lot of agriculture production. Let’s hope I can still find fun in it and not get overwhelmed. There is just a ton of stuff to do.
That’s about it.
Happy farming!
