Crops

Small crops can be planted in crop plots on the ranch and sold for money at the General Store or Best Burger. Large crops (Sunflower, Wheat, and Corn) can be farmed in the 3 large plots in the back of your ranch.

## Growing Fruit and Veg (Small Crops)

To start planting fruit and veg, you'll need to build a crop plot. You can then purchase seeds from the general store to plant within the plots. All small crops require 1 unit of water to fully water them, but some crops will consume water more quickly than others.

### Watering

Crops can be watered with a bucket or using sprinklers. Sprinklers require a windmill to use. They will water crops within a small radius around them once a day, but must be activated once upon placing them. Sprinklers can be placed on the ground outside, or on crop plots.

### Re-harvesting

All crops besides cabbages can be harvested between 0 and 10 times. Upon each harvest there is a 10\*n% chance of the crop dying, where n is the number of times harvested. A plant will look wilted, and the disease bar will show 100%. So, for the first time you harvest a plant, there is a 10% chance of the plant dying, on the second harvest, there is a 20% chance, and so on and so forth until the tenth harvest. At the tenth harvest, the plant now has a 100% chance of dying.

## Fertilizer and Disease

You can purchase fertilizer from the general store to speed up the growth time for your plants. You can also purchase a composter which utilizes animal manure to produce fertilizer. These can be purchased from the general store

Watch out for plants which are diseased, you will need to purchase agricultural medicine to remove any diseases. The disease level of a plant is represented by the lowest bar on the plant information UI. Any disease level below 100% can be cured with agricultural medicine.

## Farming Large Crops

Your ranch has 3 crop plots located towards the back of the ranch. These plots can be used to grow 3 different crops; Wheat, Corn, and Sunflowers.

### Cultivating and Seeding

First you will need to cultivate the plots using the cultivator trailer. This can be attached to a tractor and then dragged across the soil to ready it for seeding (Press left click to lower the trailer). If your tractor gets stuck, try raising the trailer (Left click again).

Once cultivated, you can use the seeder to plant seeds. You'll need to purchase bags of seeds from the general store and fill the seeder with these before you start . The seeder can hold up to 3 bags of a single seed type. You can then start planting seeds by first lowering the seed wheels and driving over the cultivated plot. One plot will require just under three bags of seed to fully seed.

### Growth and Fertilizing

Each crop will take several days to grow, this can be sped up slightly by using fertilizer. To spread the fertilizer on the field you will need to use the fertilizer trailer. You can fill this using purchased fertilizer or using the composter

### Harvesting

To harvest your crop, you will need to purchase the harvester and the correct header equipment from the hardware store. Once aquired, attach the correct header to your harvester, lower it, and then get harvesting.

Once your harvester is full, you'll need to dump this into a trailer or into a granary. you can do this by swinging out your unloading pipe using right click when over a trailer or the silo hopper.

Once deposited in a trailer, you can then sell the crop at the general store. If you deposit into a trailer or granary, it CANNOT be removed, so choose wisely.
