Best Ways To Make Money, Ranked

There are lots of ways to make money in Farming Simulator 25. That said, not all of the money-making methods are worth the time and effort. Some ways to make money are rather tedious and time-consuming. Players should spend their time wisely to maximize their productivity. When it comes to Farming Simulator games, efficiency is key. If the player wastes too much time on low-profit ventures, then they aren’t going to be very successful in the long haul.

This list will take a look at some of the best money-making methods in Farming Simulator 25 for both new players and seasoned Farming Simulator veterans.

8 Sell Unwanted Items

It’s possible to sell pretty much everything in Farming Simulator 25. Players can sell buildings, vehicles, and animals for a quick profit. When the player first starts, they will already have a few things at their disposal. Players will have a handful of starter vehicles, some buildings, a few cows, and some other things too.

While players shouldn’t sell things that they’ll need, items such as decorative buildings and duplicate vehicles can be sold for a nice and quick cash injection. This can help the player to get just enough money together to invest in something more profitable. Since players can build structures whenever they like, they can always rebuild a building further down the line.

7 Take On Plenty Of Contracts

There are lots of contracts that players can take. Each one has its own set of requirements, equipment needs, and payouts. Players should try to take the highest-paying contracts over the ones that don’t pay as much. That said, some of the low-paying contracts can be completed in just a few minutes.

In the early days, players should rent the required equipment as it is much easier than purchasing the equipment outright. This will reduce the amount of money that the player makes for completing the contract, but even then, players can usually expect to receive at least a couple of thousand dollars upon completing the contract.

6 Buffalo Farming

Highly Profitable Livestock

While it is a bit of a costly investment, buffalo farming is a great way to make lots of money relatively quickly. Buffalo farming does come with risks such as diseases, but even then, the rewards outweigh the risks.

Buffalo farming can give the player multiple sources of income. Buffalo meat is quite valuable. Also, its milk can be used to manufacture certain products, and they can be sold whole for a nice chunk of change. When compared to most of the other animals that can be purchased, buffalo are considerably easier to raise and maintain.

5 Flip Fields For A Quick Profit

An Easy Moneymaker

Purchasing land is a big part of Farming Simulator games. Players will need to invest in more land to have enough space to grow all of the necessary crops. That said, there are some fields that can be purchased with crops that are ready to be harvested. These are a great investment.

There are two ways the player can go about profiting from a field like this. The first is by purchasing it, harvesting the crops, and then using the field to grow whatever crops the player would like to grow. The second, and much faster way to turn a profit is to purchase a field that has crops ready to be harvested, harvest the crops, and then sell the field. This allows the player to reap all of the rewards that come with a fully grown crop field without any of the upfront investment.

4 Manufacture Products

Combine Your Produce To Make A Variety Of Items

This is more for the later stages of the game, as the initial setup costs tend to be quite high, but manufacturing and selling products is a fantastic way to generate lots of money. Players can make everything from baked goods to wood furniture, which they can sell for a pretty penny.

Players can rent or buy pre-made facilities that are ready to start manufacturing products. This saves plenty of time since building a manufacturing facility from the ground up can be quite a time-consuming process.

3 Invest In Generators

A Bit Of A Controversial Moneymaker

This money-making method does take a lot of the fun out of the game, but if the player’s sole aim is to make as much money as fast as possible, then this is a great way to make passive income quickly.

To do this, all the player needs to do is purchase a handful of generators. Generators will produce power which will automatically be sold for a nice profit. It’s a completely passive source of income that, aside from the initial set-up cost, doesn’t require the player to lift a finger.

2 Rice Farming

A Very Profitable Crop

Rice is a crop that yields a high return on investment. While it does require specific farming settings to make, and it is a little more complicated than some of the other crops in the game, it doesn’t take up much space, and it can be turned in for a nice profit.

Farming rice is a bit of an art, and it can take a while to master, so it’s best to start out small. But once the player has learned the basics of rice farming, it’s a very profitable crop to invest in.

1 Silage Baling

A Reliable Source Of Income

Silage bales have been a good way of making money in the last few versions of the game. It’s pretty easy to set up, there’s no need to replant, and the bales can be sold for a quick and instant profit.

As opposed to the standard single harvest per year, grass can be harvested multiple times a year, which makes it a great way of making money. While players will need to invest in some pretty costly machinery, it is possible to rent the equipment needed, which greatly reduces the overall costs.
