New Crops in Farming Simulator 22

Farming Simulator 22 will offer many more features than FS19. This also applies to crops. Initially, the game will include 3 new types of crops: olives, sorghum, and grapes. Yes, you will be able to grow and sell them, but we have already mentioned that FS22 features production chains, and many crops can be further processed. For example, flour can be turned into bread, and so on. New crops are affected by this as well. Let’s look at each one separately.

Grape Business

Growing grapes is a real pleasure, because despite being a profitable business, if everything is set up correctly, your farm will turn into a beautiful paradise consisting of large rows of grapevines. A grape farm will become the perfect place to relax. Naturally, to achieve such great results, you need to take care of everything, and special agricultural machinery will help you with this.

If you decide to play with the seasonal growth setting – you will definitely need the New Holland Braud 9070L. What is seasonal growth? It’s simple: certain crops produce good fruit in specific seasons, and you will need to monitor these seasons, plant on time, harvest on time, and so on – become a true farmer, experiencing all the challenges and features of this work.

Olive Business

If you’re not particularly keen on the idea of building a huge farm with grapevines, you can plant olive trees and start a truly profitable olive business. Moreover, an olive tree farm looks just as good as a grape farm, and no one forbids you from combining these two crops. 

Additionally, the fact that these crops share the same season—from March to June—makes things much easier. The only difference is the harvest time, since olives need to be picked much earlier than grapes—somewhere around September. Undoubtedly, for harvesting olives, the New Holland Braud 9090X will come in handy.

Nutritious Sorghum

The third crop is sorghum. Grow sorghum because this product is consumed in large quantities and is very nutritious. Growing this crop requires a location with a fairly dry climate, which is where the challenges arise.

Production Chains with New Crops

As mentioned at the beginning of the article, production chains (such as making bread from flour) are an important part of FS22, and the new crops will also be part of this. 

Here are a few examples. From grapes, you can create dried grapes or delicious sweet juice. Olives are widely used to produce olive oil, and sorghum yields high-quality fine flour. And these are far from all the possibilities of the production chains.
