Complete Sugar Cane Guide in Farming Simulator 25

Unlike some other crops, sugar cane doesn’t require field preparation through plowing or cultivating. This makes it an excellent choice for beginners or those looking to save time.

Additionally, sugar cane has a unique feature: it grows back after harvesting, eliminating the need for replanting each season.

Planting Sugar Cane

The planting window for sugar cane is March and April. To plant sugar cane:

1. Go to the in-game shop and navigate to “Special Crops” > “Sugar Cane Planters”
2. Choose between the 1-meter or 2-meter planter (note that these are relatively narrow)
3. Fill the planter with seeds by parking next to seed bags or pallets and pressing ‘R’ on PC (or the equivalent button on consoles)
4. Drive the planter over your field to sow the sugar cane

Field Maintenance

For optimal yield, consider the following steps:

1. Lime your fields using a fertilizer spreader that supports lime (look for the white icon under fertilizers)
2. Fertilize your fields twice at different growth stages to achieve 100% fertilization
3. If enabled, use a weed sprayer to control weeds (many players keep this option turned off)

Harvesting Sugar Cane

When October or November rolls around, it’s time to harvest. You’ll need:

1. A sugar cane harvester (there’s only one option in the game)
2. A sugar cane transport trailer

Important steps:

1. When purchasing the harvester, ensure you select “Yes” for the trailer hitch option
2. Attach the sugar cane transport trailer to the harvester
3. Drive the harvester over your sugar cane field
4. The harvester will automatically cut the cane and load it into the attached trailer

Selling Your Sugar Cane

To get the best prices for your sugar cane:

1. Open the in-game menu and go to the “Statistics” tab
2. Find “Sugar Cane” in the alphabetical list
3. Check the prices at different selling points (e.g., Farmers Market, Train, Grain Barge)
4. Note that prices fluctuate monthly, with July and August typically offering the highest prices
5. Use the “Tag Place” feature to mark your chosen selling point on the map
6. Transport your sugar cane to the selling point using the sugar cane transport trailer

Remember, the sugar cane transport trailers can lift high, allowing you to transfer the cane into other trailers if needed.

Conclusion

Growing sugar cane in Farming Simulator 25 can be a rewarding experience. Its ability to regrow after harvesting makes it an efficient crop choice.

By following this guide, you’ll be well-equipped to manage your sugar cane fields from planting to profit. Happy farming!
