Farming

Farming is one of the Jobs (and skills) available in Transport Tycoon. As a farmer, you are responsible for harvesting and selling crops. You have the choice of farming in Paleto Bay or Grapeseed. Both areas have multiple fields that can be bought provided that you have the level for the field. Like any tiered job, your pay will depend heavily on your progress within the skill.

Getting Started

To get started you will need to visit any Job Center (except for Life Invader) to choose the farmer job.

Once you have the farmer job, head to one of the farms (Paleto Bay or Grapeseed) and start your duty on the farm .
As a fresh farmer, you won't have the privilege of choosing what crop to start with. You will have to begin with a grain field. You start with one free grain field; check your map for an owned field .

Starting the Harvest

It is suggested for new farmers to start farming in Paleto Bay due to the proximity of blips compared to Grapeseed.

To begin farming on the grain field, you will need to know about the following:

• For harvesting, you will need a combine harvester.
  • A combine harvester can be spawned at both farms, or it can be purchased from the Vehicle Dealership .

• For collecting the harvest, you will need a tractor connected to a hopper (trailer).
  • Tractors can occasionally spawn on the farms. Otherwise, a tractor can be purchased at the Vehicle Dealership.
  • A hopper can be spawned at the farm.

Enter the grain field with the combine harvester and press G to start harvesting. You will start seeing yellow circles pop up behind you. These yellow circles can later be collected with a tractor and hopper trailer. Once you feel like you have enough circles, get your tractor and attach your hopper trailer. Lower the hopper (G). Drive over the circles. The hopper trailer will start collecting grain. Once the hopper trailer is full, drive to a grain silo to drop off your grain.The grain silo, bale selling point, and fruit stand have the same icon, so make sure you are at a grain silo.

You just successfully completed a full farm cycle. Repeating this process will earn you Farming levels and cash.

Baling

Grain can also be packed into bales at the marked Baling Machines . Simply place the Hopper within the marked area and it will convert Grain into Bales. When it's done converting, get a bale trailer (from the farm) and pick them up the same way you picked up the grain with the hopper trailer. Take the bales to the marked Bale Selling Point and sell them there.

New Fields

Grass

Of course, there are a lot more crops than just grain. For example, you unlock grass at level 9. Grass cannot be harvested with a tractor.

Grass is usually cut with a mower. This is no different in Transport Tycoon. Once you reach level 9, find the lawnmower spawn marker and buy one of the grass fields. From now on the process is almost the same as with grain. Press G and start driving around. Once you feel like you have enough, grab a tractor with a hopper trailer attached. Drive over the markers until the hopper is full. You can now sell the cut grass at the grain silo .

New Equipment

Level 45 unlocks the grain brigade truck. The brigade truck can be bought at a dealership. The difference between these and the regular equipment is that the level 45 variants can harvest faster and have a bigger capacity.
