Farming Simulator 25 introduces rice as a new crop, adding more diversity to the farming experience. In this brief introduction video, discover everything you need to know about growing and harvesting rice in Farming Simulator 25.
In Farming Simulator 25, players can grow two distinct types of rice: long grain rice and regular rice, each requiring different planting and harvesting methods. Regular rice is planted directly into a flooded paddy field, which is a specially prepared field that retains water. The planting process involves using specialized machinery, such as the Iseki PRJ8D rice transplanter, which is designed to operate in water-managed fields. Water levels need to be monitored and maintained throughout the growing season to ensure optimal growth. Once the regular rice is ready to be harvested, a unique harvester like the Iseki HJ6130 is used to collect the crops.
Long grain rice, on the other hand, is planted before the field is flooded, making the planting process more straightforward compared to regular rice. For this type of rice, players can use standard seeders, which are commonly used for other grains, and it can be harvested with basic combine harvesters, eliminating the need for specialized equipment. This makes long grain rice a more accessible option for those who may not want to deal with the complexities of water management. Additionally, players have the option to grow their own rice seedlings in greenhouses, allowing them to have more control over the initial stages of growth. Whether you choose regular or long grain rice, understanding the differences between the two will help you maximize your yield and enhance your farming experience in Farming Simulator 25.
The addition of rice in Farming Simulator 25 introduces new challenges with its unique water management requirements and specialized equipment. This feature adds depth and complexity, making it an exciting crop for virtual farmers to master.
