Step 1: Mulching Matters
Start by mulching the remains of the previous crop. Skip this, and say goodbye to the 100% yield bonus. Grab a mulcher from the store (choose a wide one for speed), attach it, lower it (press V), and turn it on (B). Watch your field turn purple on the heat map.
Step 2: Plowing Through
Time to plow the field. Pro tip: Skip regular plows. Instead, get a subsoiler—it won’t create new fields, but it works just as well. Attach it, lower it, and drag it across. Notice rocks popping up? That’s normal. You’ll deal with them next.
Step 3: Clearing Rocks
Rocks wreck your yield. For orange or red rocks, use a stone picker. Lower it (V), turn it on (B), and clear the field. If it fills up, dump the stones at a drop-off point like the cement factory.
Step 4: Lime to Shine
Next, lime the field for another yield boost. Buy lime and a compatible fertilizer spreader. Fill it up, turn it on, and evenly coat the field. Check the map to confirm all sections turn from blue to white.
Step 5: Fertilizing
- Option 1: Use a manure spreader with double application mode for a one-step 100% fertilization.
- Option 2: Use a liquid fertilizer sprayer for faster application, then follow up with manure for full fertilization. Both methods have their trade-offs—choose what fits your resources.
Step 6: Cultivation and Seeding
Ensure the field is cultivated (check the map). Then, use a carrot planter. Attach the necessary equipment, fill it with seeds, and plant. Want straight rows? Enable steering assist (H) for clean lines. Aesthetic or not, it’s your call.
Step 7: Rolling Optional (but Recommended)
Some seeds benefit from rolling after planting. Check the field status on the map. If rolling is needed, grab a roller and pass it over the planted field. This boosts the yield.
Step 8: Harvest Time
Carrots are ready in November. Use a vegetable harvester—pick the big or small one based on your budget. Unfold (X), lower (V), and start harvesting (B). Store the carrots or sell them directly at the best price location.
Tips for Weed Management
Keep weeds turned on in your game settings for realism. Use a weeder or herbicide to handle them if they appear. Skipping this step risks reducing your yield.
Boost Your Carrot Profits
Monitor crop prices and sell when they peak. Use silos for storage if the market price isn’t favorable right after harvest.
This step-by-step plan ensures you hit that 100% yield every time, turning carrot farming into a profitable endeavor.
