Rice has made its debut in Farming Simulator 25 and is a vital crop for ensuring survival. Similar to real farming, growing rice requires specific resources and effort to achieve a rewarding harvest.
This game features two rice varieties: standard Rice and Long Grain Rice, each needing its own seeds and tools. This guide will provide you with the necessary steps to grow rice successfully. Let’s jump into the details!
What Do You Need to Grow Rice?
To cultivate rice, you’ll need five essential items:
- Tractor
- Cultivator
- Planter
- Harvester
- Trailer
When selecting your equipment from the Packs section in the shop, make sure to check both compatibility and power ratings. Additionally, ensure that you have an adequate open area for the rice paddy by exploring the building menu available in the shop.
How to Grow Rice
Next, let’s focus on the process of planting rice. After assembling the required equipment, follow these steps:
Step |
Details |
---|---|
1. Create a Rice Paddy | Select the Rice Field option from the build menu and outline the corners of the area where you want to plant rice. This will cost you $1,500. |
2. Build a Rice Greenhouse | Invest $3,000 to create a Greenhouse, which allows you to produce Rice Saplings in bulk without buying them from stores. Just provide water, and you’re set. |
3. Plant the Rice | Utilize the Tractor, Cultivator, and Planter to plant the rice saplings. |
4. Turn on the Water Pump | The water pump will ensure your field gets enough moisture, which is crucial since rice grows best in wet conditions. Monitor the water level daily to avoid losing your saplings. |
5. Harvest the Rice | When your rice crops have matured, it’s time to harvest using a Harvester. |
Rice progresses through four growth stages:
Stage |
Description |
---|---|
Growth Stage 1 | Seedlings are planted. |
Growth Stage 2 | Crops begin to grow and appear green. |
Growth Stage 3 | Crops grow further, with yellow hues starting to show. |
Growth Stage 4 | Crops take on a yellow color, indicating that the rice is ready to harvest. |
Following these stages, the Harvested and Withered stages will occur.
