Giants have just released a preview of a new crop that is coming to the Farming Simulator 25 and it’s Spinach. Full of nutrients, presumably of ancient Persian origin, the subject of a culinary myth for its (actually not-so-high) iron content, and Popeye’s favorite: Spinach!
This new crop will add unique things to keep in mind while running your virtual farm. We will have some screenshots and some basic information what to expect from this crop.
Time for Spinach
Spring and Summer are spinach seasons. In March or April, you take your seeder and put out about 10 liters of seed per hectare to look forward to a yield of about 23100 liters in return.
With an average selling price of $660 per thousand liters, you need to be ready to harvest in June. Mind, that you need a specialized harvester here – the OXBO MKB-4TR.
Sow Once, Harvest Twice
If you’re not wasting any time, you can actually harvest spinach twice a season. To do that, you got to sow it right in March, wait for it to mature, harvest it right away in June and watch it grow again. Don’t forget to apply your usual yield improvement, like you do with other crops.
Doing everything right and in time, you’ll see the those growth stages that slightly differ in the second cycle. As it is common among crops like spinach, the first growth stage after harvesting it the first time, appears a bit more bushy. Helps to easier keep track of all your spinach fields visually.
And remember the words of one of our favorite sailors: You’re strong to the finich ’cause you eats your spinach. Well, harvest it at least and sell it before it withers, will you?
As we are told Giants still have a lot of information kept in secret and one by one slowly introducing to us everything before the FS22 launches on November 12th.
