So, you’ve got a field full of grass in Farming Simulator 25, but now you’re stuck wondering, ‘What’s next?’ Don’t sweat it—grass might seem simple, but it’s actually one of the most versatile resources in the game. In this guide, we’re diving into everything you can do with grass: from cutting it with the right mower to transforming it into bales, silage, or hay. Whether you’re looking to feed your livestock, make some quick cash, or just keep your farm running smoothly, my guide has got you covered.
What To Do With Grass
First up, grab a Mower from the Grassland section in the store. Your choice depends on your budget and game settings. Whether it’s the simple GMD 3123 F or the powerhouse Big M 450, both get the job done—the big guy just does it faster (and looks cooler).
Pro tip: Tweak the work mode if you’re looking to streamline your process. Otherwise, drop that mower, fire it up, and let it rip!
Once you’ve got those satisfying rows of freshly cut grass, it’s decision time. Here’s what you can do:
- Baling: If you like things neat and tidy, use a Baler to compact the grass into bales. Square balers let you stack and transport multiple bales with ease, but round balers work just fine too. Grass bales aren’t the most lucrative option, but they’re practical for storage and feeding your cows.
- Forage Wagon: For a simpler approach, a Forage Wagon picks up loose grass. It’s not as easy to store as bales, but it’s perfect for direct feeding. This is my go-to if I’m in a rush or short on cash for fancy equipment.
- Silage: Feeling ambitious? Silage is where the money’s at. Wrap your grass bales using a Bale Wrapper and let them ferment over time. The result? Silage, essential for making Total Mixed Rations (TMR)—the ultimate feed for your cattle. It’s a longer process, but trust me, your cows (and wallet) will thank you.
- Hay: Want to level up your grass game? Use a Tedder to dry your grass into hay. Hay bales are worth more than grass because of the extra effort, and they’re versatile for feeding or selling. Plus, there’s something oddly satisfying about watching that fluffy grass turn into golden hay rows.
When choosing your approach, think about your farm’s setup, storage needs, and goals. Grass might seem simple, but it’s surprisingly versatile. Experiment with these methods and find what fits your style. That’s pretty much everything you need know about cutting grass and what to do with them in Farming Simulator 25.
