The latest update of Farming Simulator 25 introduces two new crops: Rice and long grain rice. These rice varieties bring an exciting addition to the game, as they require special cultivation methods and machinery. The classic rice is grown on flooded fields, while the long-grain rice is irrigated after sowing. Players can choose to grow rice seedlings themselves in greenhouses or buy them on the market.
Rice cultivation in detail
The cultivation of rice differs from conventional crops as it requires flooded fields. These fields are flooded with water after sowing, which is a traditional method that is mainly practiced in Asian countries. Players must use special irrigation systems that allow the field to be supplied with water as required. The right water level is crucial to ensure a successful harvest.
With long-grain rice, the whole thing works slightly differently: here, the rice is first sown on dry soil and only irrigated later. Here too, players have to plan and monitor the appropriate irrigation.
Rice seedlings and the right machines
Players have the choice of either growing rice seedlings in greenhouses or buying them on the market. The advantage of growing your own seedlings is that you have control over the cultivation process and can reduce costs. Once you have the seedlings ready, it is important to have the right machinery. Special rice planting machines are needed to plant the seedlings in the flooded fields. These machines are specially designed to work on wet soils, which sets them apart from standard equipment.
Harvesting also requires special machines that are adapted to the conditions of the rice fields. The rice harvesters enable efficient harvesting, regardless of the type of rice selected.
From harvest to sale or processing
There are various options after the harvest: The harvested rice can either be sold directly or integrated into new production chains. This opens up additional economic opportunities by processing the rice to produce more valuable products. These production chains are a useful extension for players who want to maximize their business on the virtual farm.
A breath of fresh air for Farming Simulator 25
The introduction of the two rice varieties not only offers new farming challenges, but also expands the depth of the game. Players looking for new challenges will be delighted with these exciting additions, as they not only bring a breath of fresh air to farming, but also add cultural and technical details that make the game experience even more realistic.
With these new rice varieties, Farming Simulator 25 ensures that the fun of growing and managing a farm is not neglected. More information and details about upcoming features and expansions are expected soon.
