"This mod has three main goals:

Define a gaming environment that simulates real farming in a clearly defined area. To allow players to customize the game using a simple editor. Provide a game planning tool for the player who wants to pre-configure the game.

User interaction with the mod occurs between games using a simple editor and some means to archive the mod into a zip file. This is a fairly simplified approach, but the mod requires editing only when starting a new map.

The mod writes about 1800 lines of information to a log file. How much land do you have? How many animals can I have with that amount of farmland? Can I buy more land or rent? What crop and how many hectares are needed to feed the animals? How many bales do I need from straw and grass? Do I have surplus crops to sell? Which crop gives the highest income per hectare in my area? How much seed is needed? How to calibrate my spreader/sprayer to apply the correct amount? How much milk, wool, eggs, manure, and liquid manure do my animals produce? How much nutrients are in my organic fertilizer? How fast will my livestock reproduce? What if I want to specialize in large-scale livestock farming?

The current game version contains real statistical data for the USDA Heartland Region.

The mod reads data from the game save folder. To work as intended, save the game, exit, and re-enter after starting a new map or after placing animal pens."
