More Precision Farming coming to Farming Simulator 22

With a new and updated DLC for Farming Simulator 22, the Precision Farming Project continues. The new DLC will go beyond the initial version's functionality, such as soil kinds, soil sample, variable rate applications, and economic analysis.

Advanced precision farming technologies will be implemented: optical sensors will be introduced to increase the sustainability of your farms. Thus, the use of herbicides as well as organic and mineral fertilizers is reduced.

We will go further and examine the new features and improvements later. As you know, we work hard on 22 November to bring you the Farming Simulator 22.

Successful project is growing bigger

The Precision Farming DLC for Farming Simulator 19 was a success and was downloaded on PCs and consoles one million times worldwide. Here is what you should know if you missed the news about the initial Precision Farming DLC:

• Initiated in 2020 by John Deere and funded by EIT Food, Europe's leading Food Innovation Initiative, the projects' goal is to provide knowledge regarding sustainable farming technology. Applying precision agriculture in the agricultural simulator is one of the EIT steps to raise awareness.
•  A number of partners within the European Union are also part of the project, in addition to EIT Food and John Deere: the University of Hohenheim (Germany), the University of Reading (Great Britain) and Grupo AN (the largest cereal cooperative in Spain). The Institute for Animal Reproduction and Food Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences will be new to the table this year to promote technology for young farmers in Eastern Europe.

Free DLC releases next Spring - more at FarmCon 21

The partners mentioned above are essential for the continuation of the project. Agricultural experts, students, farmers and others thoroughly evaluated the first DLC. Of course, player feedback was an important factor in deciding how the project should be advanced. That is why you can also expect improvements based on your feedback on the already existing features.

While we're focused on the upcoming release of Farming Simulator 22 game and mods on November 22nd, the new version of the Precision Farming DLC is scheduled to release in the Spring of 2022. Farming Simulator 22 owners can download it for free from PC, Mac, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
