Want to know which crops in Farming Simulator 25 are the most profitable? Then you're in the right place with this guide! Here, we'll take a look at the most lucrative crops that can bring you the highest profit.

It’s important to understand that net income from a harvest depends on several factors: market prices for grains, the cost of the equipment used for planting, field maintenance, and harvesting. Additionally, yield may be affected by weather conditions—your crops could even be destroyed by a tornado. In short, the numbers in this article are estimates.

Now, let's get down to business and examine the most profitable crops in FS25! But before we do, keep in mind that the order of this list doesn't matter. The crops mentioned below can yield higher or lower profits depending on various conditions.

Green Beans

This crop was introduced in Farming Simulator 25, and it wasn’t available in any previous versions of the game. Green beans make it onto our list of the most profitable crops, offering substantial income. Not only are they lucrative, but they also grow quickly, are easy to process, and are always in demand, making them easy to sell at a good price. Additionally, green beans are a valuable food product, meaning they can also be used in production for even more profit.

Let's take a closer look at how much money green beans can bring in FS25, how long they take to mature, their grain prices, and how long you'll have to wait for them to fully grow:

• Seed usage: 280 liters per hectare.

• Planting time: April to June.

• Time to harvest: Around 4 months.

• Harvest period: August to November.

• Maximum yield per hectare: 13,950 liters.

• Average selling price: $2,160 per 1,000 liters.

As you can see, growing green beans is highly profitable. The costs are minimal: all you need is average machinery, a standard set of fertilizers, and a small investment in seeds.

Soybeans

As in previous Farming Simulator games, soybeans in the 25th installment remain one of the best crops to plant if you're looking to make good money. Soybeans don't require much attention, grow fairly quickly, and deliver a very decent income. So if you're planning to work on fields in the game, be sure to consider this crop. The profit margin is solid.

• Seed usage: 300 liters per hectare.

• Planting time: April to May.

• Maturation time: Up to 6 months.

• Harvest period: October to November.

• Yield: Up to 450 liters per hectare.

• Average selling price: $2,334 per 1,000 liters.

Soybeans can bring significant profit, but there are some nuances. For example, the growth time is quite long, and the seed usage is relatively high. However, overall, this crop is in high demand, and many virtual farmers choose to plant their fields with soybeans.

Rice

Rice had to be included in this list. After all, Farming Simulator 25 focuses on Asian culture, and rice is one of the key crops on many maps. On the one hand, growing rice requires considerable effort since it can't be planted on a regular field. You need to prepare a special field by flooding it with water. Moreover, rice must first be grown in a greenhouse. If you skip this step, don’t expect good profit.

As for harvesting, this crop is quite simple. There are specialized harvesters that allow you to gather the crop from the fields quickly and efficiently.

Despite the challenges of planting and maintaining rice, it’s definitely worth your attention. If you want to become a successful farmer, start growing rice! It’s not only profitable but also interesting, providing a unique gameplay experience compared to growing other crops.

Peas

If you want to make good money fast in FS25 and accumulate starting capital to expand your holdings, then growing peas is the perfect choice. This crop was introduced only in Farming Simulator 25. Peas grow very quickly, require minimal seed investment, and have high yields, while the selling prices remain favorable.

We recommend looking into peas if you're aiming to earn quick money in the game. With minimal investment, you can reap substantial profits that no other crop can provide.

Here’s some more detailed information:

• Ideal planting time: March to April.

• Growth time: 4 months.

• Harvest period: July to September.

• Selling price: $3,119 per 1,000 liters.

• Seed usage: 250 liters per hectare.

• Maximum yield: 9,600 liters.

Peas can also be used in further production processes, allowing you to create different products and thus increase their market value. This straightforward method will enable you to earn more than by selling the raw product, although it will require more time and effort.

As for harvesting peas, specialized harvesters such as the Oxbo EPD 540e make it easy to gather crops from the fields. Additionally, you can use other machines, including modded harvesters. You can check if a harvester can collect peas by looking for the corresponding crop icon when purchasing equipment.

Cotton

If you've played FS 22, you're probably already familiar with cotton. In Farming Simulator 25, it can also make you a millionaire. Growing cotton has its pros and cons. On the one hand, with relatively low seed consumption, you can make a lot of profit when selling it. On the other hand, cotton requires proper care and takes a long time to grow.

Despite its long growth period, cotton is in high demand and easy to sell. And what if you start producing something from it, like clothes? Then you can make even more money!

Here’s some information about cotton:

• Planting time: February to March.

• Required seeds per hectare: 500 liters.

• Growth time: 8 months.

• Harvest time: October to November.

• Yield per hectare: Up to 500 liters.

• Average selling price: $3,756 per 1,000 liters.

The prices for cotton are very attractive. Many successful farmers in Farming Simulator 25 recommend growing it, as it brings in great profit. However, keep in mind that you'll have to wait a long time for cotton to mature.

Canola

Canola is one of the most popular crops to grow in FS25 because it doesn't require much care and generates a decent profit. Compared to other crops, canola stands out with its high yield. However, it takes a long time to grow—almost a year! There are crops that mature much faster and can bring in income within 2-3 months.

Canola is fairly resistant to weather conditions. Therefore, it doesn’t require special care or pest treatment. Moreover, it doesn't need expensive equipment, making it accessible even in the early stages of the game.

Overall, all the crops described in this article are excellent for quickly earning money in the early stages of the game when you have virtually nothing, and your main goal is to accumulate starting capital. You can buy 2-3 fields and plant several crops at once, which will give you a higher chance of securing a profit.

Now, back to canola…

Main information about canola:

• Ideal planting time: August to September.

• Maturation time: About 11 months.

• Harvest period: July to August.

• Yield: Up to 580 liters per hectare.

• Seed consumption: 200 liters per hectare.

• Average selling price: ~$1,900 per 1,000 liters.

As you can see, canola is a great option for those who want a steady income with minimal costs.

Sunflowers

Sunflowers remain one of the key crops in Farming Simulator 25, and growing them can generate substantial profit. This crop is popular due to the high demand for oil, which is used in various productions, such as baking. This directly influences the price of sunflowers, which always stays high and almost never drops.

Additionally, sunflowers can be used in production, opening up extra revenue streams for players. Processing raw products always increases profitability.

Sunflowers require a bit more attention than canola or other crops, but their yield makes up for the time and resources invested. Don’t expect quick income from planting sunflowers, as they take over six months to grow, but after harvest, you'll see a significant influx of profit, even if you sell them in raw form.

Key information about sunflowers:

• Planting period: March to April.

• Maturation time: Up to 7 months.

• Harvest time: October to November.

• Yield: Up to 2,800 liters per hectare.

• Seed consumption: 300 liters per hectare.

• Average selling price: $2,050 per 1,000 liters.

Planting sunflowers can ensure a high yield and generate a lot of money. However, to be honest, there are more profitable crops in FS25 that take less time to mature. Nevertheless, it's still worth considering this income source in the game.
