Farm Sim 22 When To Roll (2024)

FAQs

When should you roll a field in FS22? ›

Regular rollers are used after sowing, when the field is already cultivated and the seeds are in the soil. With a roller, you condense the soil, and therefore increase its quality and the yield by 2,5%.

The ground should only be rolled around spring and there should not be frost on the ground. The type of roller should also be taken into consideration; it should not be too heavy.

Practice rolling the soil immediately after sowing or as early after germination as possible to avoid plant injury and also allow more time for plant recovery. Avoid rolling erosion-prone fields immediately after planting; instead, roll before planting or after crop emergence.

Rolling isn't only because of stone, it's also to push the seed into the ground better. You'll gain 2.5% better yield. Up to you if you think it's worth it. If you roll before planting it shows the field as a seedbed, but I have not noticed any real bonus for doing so.

When a new seedbed is being established, rolling ensures all seeds are in contact with the soil, which helps speed up germination. After sodding. Once the sod is laid, a lawn roller removes air pockets and ensures the roots are in contact with the soil beneath, which helps the sod become established.

There is a 2.5% yield bonus tied to soil rolling. You need to use the rollers after sowing to gain that bonus.

The main purpose of land rolling is to improve efficiency at harvest time and to reduce combine wear and tear. However, environmental and agronomic risks may occur with this practice. Essential benefits of using a land roller are pushing down rocks into the soil and crushing dirt clods and corn root balls.

However, if rolled too aggressively, the soil can quickly become compacted, leading to poor grass growth. Some farming forums indicate that the speed should be around 10-15mph, but farmers must consider the terrain of their land and the weather conditions.

On/off option is in game settings below periodic plowing option.

Land rolling is most commonly utilized in soybeans, peas and other pulse crops to manage rocks, dirt clods and residues. Rolling the rocks and clods down helps even out the field surface making it easier to harvest in the fall. The same goes for managing residues like corn.

What is the most profitable method in Fs22? ›

poplar, sugarcane, and silage are the top 3 for base game. Not sure about dlc crops. Poplar is the biggest profit.

By applying a layer of cut biological material on top of the soil, mulching improves your soil, and therefore the yield of your crops. You will gain a 2,5% bonus on your yield for the next harvest. Tip! It's okay not to mulch - in case, you have too much on your hands.

You need to cultivate the field before sowing, so your crops can properly grow. Compared to plowing, cultivating is done much faster. But, they don't prevent weeds from growing.

Most people try to roll soybean ground immediately or shortly after planting, before emergence. While this is the best option, conditions and timing don't always allow for that. Once beans begin to crack the ground, it's best to avoid rolling between emergence and V1.
