In Farming Simulator 25, there are numerous ways to earn money. However, many of these methods require significant investments of money, labor, and time. Certainly, if you want to understand all the crafts and business methods on your own, that's great and right. But at the early stages of the game, it can be challenging for beginners. There is a high probability that your business will quickly go bankrupt and fail because, to achieve success in any endeavor, you need to make many mistakes and gain experience, which will allow you to build a successful business in the future.

But if you want to know how to quickly earn money in FS 25, then this guide will definitely be useful to you. In it, we will consider several successful business plans that are guaranteed to bring you profit in the shortest possible time. We will also learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each of them. At the end of the article, useful tips for building a successful business in the game will be briefly provided. In addition, we will also consider some cheats and mods that allow you to quickly get a lot of money.

But for now, let's return to running a business in Farming Simulator!

Logging Business

Logging can be considered one of the fastest ways to earn money in the game! This cannot be denied. Many players don't know about this and avoid this option, which is very unfortunate. With the right approach, the business of growing and selling trees can bring in huge amounts of money. Moreover, it is suitable for developing your startup in FS 25 at the early stages of the game when there is no money.

Since our goal is to maximize profit in a short time, you should only plant fast-growing trees. Their selling price will be significantly lower, but you can get income from them much faster.

Necessary Equipment:

Of course, the better the equipment, the less time you will need to spend on logging. But this can hit our finances, which is not very good at the beginning of the game. Therefore, we will only buy the most necessary items.

• Handheld chainsaw. It costs only a few thousand dollars and allows you to cut down trees fairly quickly. You can buy a special harvester for cutting trees and branches, but it will be expensive, even though it is ten times more efficient than the manual method. Therefore, when choosing, consider your financial situation.

• Transport for hauling. Almost any cargo transport will do: a medium tractor with a trailer of 150-200 horsepower or a truck with good lifting capacity (since you will need to transport large and heavy logs).

• Crane with a manipulator. It will be needed to load the ready logs into our cargo transport.

• Special equipment for planting trees. These planting combines are in the shop in the forestry equipment section. Even the weakest equipment will do!

• Tree saplings. Again, there are many species, and it is better to choose on your own. The most profitable are spruce, pine, and similar trees. The main thing is that the tree grows tall, with a straight trunk and minimal branches.

In principle, this equipment will be more than enough to start a logging business.

The plan is as follows:

• Buy land for planting our future forest. Clearings with a lot of grass and vegetation are better than fields.

• Buy saplings and all the necessary equipment.

• Plant the saplings and wait for them to grow. The process is very long, but since you don't need to care for and fertilize them, it plays into our hands. After all, you can spend your free time developing other types of business.

• When our trees are ready, take all the necessary equipment and start the cutting process. The most expensive logs are straight logs 6-8 meters long. It is very important to clear them of branches. Manually this takes a very long time, so you can buy a special harvester that will cut the tree and immediately clear it of branches. The only thing is that you will have to learn how to use it.

After all this work, we will have a large number of logs. Now they need to be sold to get money.

There are many ways to make money from logs in FS 25:

• Selling logs. Logs can be sold whole (recommended length is 6 to 8 meters). This is quite profitable, and you can get a good return. They can be sold at a special sale point.

• Grinding logs into wood chips and selling them. This is another earning option. This option can be used for fast-growing tree species like poplar. It grows quickly, and the price for such a whole tree is very low. So making chips out of it and selling them is a good idea.

• Sawing logs into boards and making furniture. This option will bring the most profit. But first, you will need to find a facility where your logs will be sawn into boards. After that, you will need to take the finished boards to a furniture factory to make furniture from them. Sell the finished furniture and get a profit!

It is important to understand that it is difficult to describe everything in detail in an article. Therefore, we are giving you some tips and ideas, and you will need to implement them yourself.

Tip:

For further sale, the trees must grow. This will take several game years. So if you don't want to wait, you can use a little trick. Instead of buying saplings, planting them, and waiting for them to grow into full-fledged trees, you can plant trees using the construction mode. One tree will cost a few thousand dollars and can bring a profit of 4-5 times its cost. And the best part is that you don't have to wait for them to grow.

Earning Money from Animal Husbandry

Animal husbandry in Farming Simulator 25 is one of the most profitable ventures! One of its greatest advantages is the wide range of options. You can raise specific animals, such as only cows, or chickens, or sheep, and so on. Or you can create a large farm with different types of domestic animals, thus significantly increasing your profits. However, this also means more responsibilities.

The profit from animal husbandry comes from selling the resources these animals produce. Cows provide milk and manure, sheep produce wool, chickens lay eggs, and pigs can be raised and sold whole. All these resources are incredibly valuable and worth money!

Raising livestock can bring very good profits in Farming Simulator. Initially, you will need to put in a lot of effort to develop this business. Animals need to be constantly watered, fed, milked, cleaned up after, and generally taken care of. But once they start producing resources that can be converted into currency, you will realize that all your efforts were not in vain.

We strongly recommend that you pay attention to this business idea. It will allow you to grow from a modest, uncertain farmer to a true farm business owner, earning fabulous profits.

Here are some of the most profitable animals to raise:

• Adult Chickens. They cost only a few dozen dollars each. They can lay eggs and reproduce from the moment of purchase.

• Chicks. They cost only a few dollars. They lay fewer eggs. But over time, as they grow, the number of eggs they produce will increase. They cannot reproduce until they mature. Since they are very cheap and eat little, it's best to buy chicks at the start of the game.

• Roosters. They cost about the same as chicks. They cannot lay eggs. But they can be sold for meat, yielding a good profit.

• Sheep. They produce wool. There are also several types of sheep—adult, young, and old. They vary in price and the amount of wool they can produce. Only adult and old sheep can reproduce. Young sheep need time to mature before they can reproduce.

• Cows. They are quite expensive. They produce milk and manure, which can also be sold or used on your own fields as fertilizer (thus saving a lot on buying fertilizers).

Note that these are not all the types of animals you can raise on a farm. There are also horses, pigs, and others. They too can bring significant profit.

Keep in mind that animal husbandry, like any farming activity, has its nuances and peculiarities. Yes, this business is one of the most profitable and allows you to get rich quickly. But it's also important to understand that it’s not as simple as it might seem at first glance. Animals need to be housed somewhere, which means you will need to invest in building special farms and barns for them to live in. They need to be sheared, milked, and eggs need to be collected. They constantly need food and water. You need to consider all these aspects in advance and prepare everything ahead of time. Otherwise, you will spend a lot of time figuring out where and how to get water, buying feed, and feeding the animals.

But overall, if you decide to raise livestock in FS 25 to earn money, you definitely won’t go wrong! It’s not just profitable but also incredibly interesting and engaging. That’s exactly what we want from the game, right? Enjoyment from the time spent playing!

However, as with any venture, this too requires a responsible approach and careful planning to avoid any mishaps.

Beekeeping

As you remember from FS 22, beekeeping was a profitable activity where you could earn income from selling honey. In Farming Simulator 25, this opportunity still exists. Given the potential for substantial earnings, it's definitely worth investing in beekeeping! In this guide, we'll cover everything we know about beekeeping, hoping that it will help you quickly become a successful beekeeper!

What You'll Need:

• First and foremost, you'll need to purchase beehives with bees! After all, who will produce honey, right? Typically, they are available in the construction mode. There are many hive options, and your choice should be based on your current budget. The more hives you have, the more bees they will contain, resulting in more honey and consequently more profit.

• A front loader to handle honey pallets, which will appear at a special location.

• Optionally, you can buy a small cargo transport or pickup truck to transport honey pallets back to your farm.

Regarding equipment, there are no mandatory conditions. You can comfortably choose the one you like the most. The main thing is that it should be able to perform its task—moving pallets.

Important: It's also worth noting that there's no need to separately purchase bees. They are automatically purchased together with the hive!

Choosing a Location for Hives: You can benefit doubly from earning honey and also increase crop yields from fields thanks to bees. They can increase the yield percentage of sunflowers, canola, or potatoes by several percent, specifically from 2.5 to 5 percent! Therefore, try to place hives as close as possible to your fields planted with agricultural crops. This way, you can maximize your profits!

However, this is not strictly necessary. You can place hives in other locations, such as meadows, forests, pastures, or anywhere else.

Action Plan:

• Enter construction mode (SHIFT+P), go to the placeable objects section. Beehives with bees can be purchased under "Animals", in the "Bees" subcategory.

• Carefully choose a location to place them. Purchase and install your hives in one place, close to each other.

• In the same section, you'll find the honey pallet spawn point. You also need to purchase it and place it as close to the hives as possible (you can place it anywhere, but in that case, choose a convenient location from which you can transport it to the sales point). Do not place honey collection pallets too far away, or honey will not be collected. Also, remember that there can only be one honey collection point! It's also not necessary to place it next to the hives. It can be any location, for example, a place from where you will transport it for sale.

• Wait for the pallets to fill with honey.

• Arrange your equipment, load it onto a vehicle, and transport it for sale.

• Get your money!

This method of earning is very interesting and straightforward. There is no need to care for the hives; the entire process is automated.

Additionally, you can purchase a special beekeeping suit for protection against bees. However, this is not mandatory, as they cannot cause life-threatening harm to you.

Green Energy

In FS25, you have the opportunity to purchase various power generators and earn income from them. This method is incredibly simple and requires minimal investment and effort. Simply acquire solar panels, wind turbines, or another type of generator and wait for them to start generating profit. Their only downside is the long payback period. Wind turbines and solar panels yield income once a month, and while it's not substantial, the huge advantage is that you don't need to do anything at all for it. Unlike other methods that may require minimal time commitment, here you can set up these elements on your property and wait for the money to roll in.

What You'll Need:

• Your own territory where panels or wind turbines will be installed. You can place them on fields, a small clearing, or even near your farm or home, as long as nothing obstructs their operation. Wind turbines harness wind as an energy source, so locate them in the windiest spots. Solar panels should be free from trees or branches that block sunlight.

• Enter construction mode. Choose the desired energy generation element and place it on your plot.

• Once installed, these stations will immediately start generating income. All you need to do is wait.

This is one of the passive income methods in Farming Simulator 25. It won't bring in large sums immediately, but you'll receive steady earnings over time. In case other farming ventures don't go as planned, this additional income can help pay off loans or finance necessary equipment purchases.

Profit from Sugar Cane

You might have thought this section would discuss planting sugar cane. However, planting it isn't difficult; harvesting, on the other hand, takes a long time and requires a lot of effort. You could hire workers, but paying for their services would significantly reduce your income from selling sugar.

Instead, let's be a bit more cunning. We'll earn money by reselling sugar cane. Yes, exactly that. We'll buy a large quantity of sugar cane saplings from the store, process them, and sell them to the sugar mill.

Here's the entire process in detail:

• Initially, you need to buy sugar cane, specifically its saplings. You can find them in the appropriate section of the store. You'll need a lot of sugar cane. A whole lot. Incredibly a lot. Start with purchasing 20-30 pallets.

• Purchase equipment with enough power to transport these pallets to the mill.

• Locate the sugar mill on the map. Use auto-loading to load all the pallets onto your trailer. Transport the purchased sugar cane there for further processing.

• Ultimately, you'll receive bags of sugar. Sell all the sugar you obtain.

• Voilà, calculate your profit.

Additionally, you don't have to sell sugar in its raw form; you can use it for further production. This can extract even greater profits from your investment.

Assessing the honesty of this method is difficult. Nevertheless, it offers a quick way to earn decent money in Farming Simulator 25. Therefore, whether to use it or prefer other methods is entirely up to you.

Earning from Flour

The method of earning here is exactly like that described above with sugar and cane. Here, you'll need to buy sacks of oats, then grind them into flour at the appropriate mill. Once you have the flour ready, you can sell it.

However, selling flour directly isn't very profitable, and your earnings will be minimal. Instead, let's continue our production chain. Send the flour to a bakery and bake bread from it. Selling bread will bring in a very good profit.

Using this simple method, you can easily and quickly accumulate a decent capital for future investments in the game.

You can also experiment and devise similar schemes for processing raw materials and selling finished products. Perhaps you'll discover even more profitable strategies.

Profit from Rice Fields

The opportunity to grow rice is a unique feature in FS 25. Previous versions of the game didn't include rice cultivation. However, in FS 25, the developers emphasized Central Asia, so they added this agricultural crop.

Now, players have the chance to cultivate rice on specially designated plots. This can bring in a good profit! Therefore, it's crucial not to overlook this activity. You'll encounter new interesting mechanics, locations, and a huge variety of specialized equipment for planting rice.

As you know, rice thrives in wet soil. Therefore, you'll need to plant it in water! Special equipment is available for freely navigating small flooded areas and planting young rice. Before planting, you can germinate it using a greenhouse.

Rice cultivation will certainly bring excellent profits in FS 25. Therefore, be sure to give it a try. It's also a new and exciting experience! What more could you ask from a game, right? So, go for it!

Tips on Easy Earnings in Farming Simulator 25

Our guide on earning in Farming Simulator 25 is nearing its conclusion. To wrap up, we want to provide some useful tips that will help newcomers quickly earn their first money in the farming business.

These tips may seem somewhat basic and not very useful to more experienced players. However, they are primarily aimed at users starting their farming journey!

• Avoid Taking Loans. While you can take out loans in the game, do so only in extreme cases and plan meticulously. Loans come with hefty interest rates that can significantly impact your profits.

• Buy Affordable Equipment. Avoid purchasing overly expensive machinery. Consider buying used equipment, which may be slightly worn but costs significantly less. This is very beneficial in the early stages of the game.

• Purchase Only the Essentials. Since your budget will be limited, refrain from buying overly expensive machinery. Top global brands produce incredibly high-quality harvesters and tractors, but they come with a hefty price tag. Cheaper brands will suffice initially!

• Equipment Rental. Farming Simulator also offers the option to rent equipment. This provides many advantages. For tasks such as harvesting once or seeding once, renting is much cheaper than buying the entire machine.

• Use of Hired Workers. Hired workers can handle some tasks for you, allowing you to save time for other work. However, keep in mind that hired workers may not always perform tasks efficiently, requiring detailed instructions and costing a lot of money.

• Preference for Low-Equipment Tasks. There are many tasks in Farming Simulator 25 that don't require much machinery. Some of the most profitable ones were described earlier in this article.
  
  

Easy Money in FS 25 with Mods!

Using mods and cheats for money is not the most honest way to earn money in the game. However, if you decide that it's necessary for you, we're happy to present several useful modifications that can make you rich in just a few seconds:

• Money Tool. A highly popular money mod for the farming simulator. It allows you to get a million dollars with just a few clicks, and there are no restrictions on how many times you can do this.
