How do you load bales of hay and straw?

Use a front loader to load the bales onto the wagon (one bale of hay and one bale of straw) and then, put in 2 to 4 buckets of silage. The proportion should be as follows: 25% – 50% of hay and silage, no more than 40% of straw.

How to feed straw to pigs in a stable?

Furthermore, the health of the pigs must be good and the animals must be given regular feed. Then you can sprinkle the straw in the stable. In order to spread the straw, you simply have to unload it with a loading wagon or in bale form at the unloading point for the pig feed.

Can you sell manure in Farming Simulator 22?

Anyone who has bought a pig pasture or one of the two pigsties in Farming Simulator 22 can not only keep, breed, and sell pigs in it, but also produce manure with the pigs. The manure in turn serves as a natural fertilizer for the fields and can be spread with a manure spreader.

How is straw swath picked up?

The Straw Swath is left in a long thin line directly behind the harvester. It can then be picked up by any Loading Wagon that is capable of carrying Straw. Alternatively, the Straw Swath can be packed into either round bales or square bales by the appropriate Baler, and then picked up in this form by a variety of other machines. One bale of Straw contains 4,000 liters .

How much straw does a cow shed produce?

The amount of Straw in the cow shed decreases over time, at a rate of 75 liters per Cow, per day. Once the Straw level reaches 0, Manure production will stop and productivity will drop slightly as appropriate.

How much straw is in TMR?

The amount of Straw in proper TMR is between 0% and 40%. That means you can make TMR without any Straw. However, Straw is easier and cheaper to produce than the other two components, making it the "filler" in this mixture. Most commonly, one bale of Straw ( 4000 liters) is mixed together with one bale of Hay ( 4000 liters) and 4000 liters of Silage, to make 12,000 liters of TMR.

What is straw used for?

Straw is one of the three components used in the creation of Total Mixed Ration , along with Hay and Silage. This is done by mixing the three materials in a Mixer Wagon, such as the Kuhn SPV Confort 12, at the appropriate ratios. TMR can then be dumped into a trough at the cow pasture in order to boost cow productivity by a wide margin – to 100% with Straw Bedding (see above), or 90% without.

What is straw in farming simulator?

Straw is a type of crop in Farm ing Simulator 15. It is an optional byproduct created during Wheat and Barley harvesting. Although it can be sold as-is, Straw is more effective when used as bedding for cows, as a component in Total Mixed Ration, or used to create Chaff .

How to unload a loose straw?

Loose Straw loaded into a Loading Wagon can be unloaded directly into the cow shed by driving up to it and using the "Unload" function.

Can you make straw into chaff?

Straw can also be processed into Chaff. A chaff harvester (such as the Krone Big X 1100) equipped with a collector header ( Krone EasyFlow 300) can be used to scoop up loose straw on the ground, shredding the straw into chaff. The chaff can then be deposited into a bunker to create lucrative Silage .

What can you do with hay and straw?

These products will be used for feeding animals. Sheep and cattle can be fed with normal grass, hay and straw is used to produce fodder for cows. To do that, you will need bales and to make them, you will of course need either hay or straw, left on the field. Then, using a tractor with a baler attached to it, you simply have to drive around the field, collecting hay or straw. When there’s enough of it in the machine, the baler will produce a bale.

How to produce hay?

Hay is dried grass. To "produce" it, you will have to buy a windrower ( GF 6502 for 10Â 300$ ). This way, in the place where you drive with the windrower attached, the grass will dry immediately. It is a good idea to attach a mower at the front and a windrower at the back of the tractor. Next, you can load the hay onto a trailer and – similarly to grass – sell it in the shop. However, it is not very profitable, as the price is the same and you only have to work more. Hay will be more useful in the form of bales.

What are green bales made of?

Green bales are made from hay, yellow ones – from straw. It will be necessary to buy a few machines – one of the bale makers (costs about 90Â 000$ ), a front loader and a special tractor (the cheapest version costs 64Â 000$ ).

Can you make bales and transport them?

With this equipment, you will be able to make bales and transport them anywhere, to sell them or use for making fodder. Collecting larger amounts is much easier with proper machines. You can also buy a trailer and load the bales using a front loader. To transport bales, you will need a front loader.

Can you sow grass with a mower?

How to feed cows with silage?

Next, lift the bucket and rotate it so that you won’t drop the load. Then, transport the silage into the trough. Making a few such trips shouldn’t take you a lot of time. The silage will suffice for a long time. Check the Animals tab from time to time, to control the amount of food.

How much to buy 10 cows?

You will use the trailer to fill up the troughs with grass and later for providing straw. After spending 65Â 500$, you will be able to keep the productivity on the level of 44%. The needs of a small cattle are not high: about 1500l of grass and the same amount of straw shouldn’t be a problem – you don’t need to buy a new field at this stage of production.

How many cows are needed for a milking field?

The "max" version is at least 50 cows, which will give milk at the highest available level of productivity. Buying a new field, a mower and a trailer is a must. You will also need a baler ( 88Â 000$) and a mixer wagon ( 39Â 000$ ). A great idea is to buy Autostack FS 63-72, which will allow you to transport a lot of bales at a time – it costs 45Â 000$. High investments also means high profits, as the mixture will give you the highest productivity.

What is the most profitable animal to keep?

Where is the silo in the cowshed?

After mowing enough grass (you can always mow some more, if you want to), go to the special silo, which is located near the cowshed. The silo has to be filled to at least 10% of its capacity. Then, drive around the chaff with the tractor for a while. After you do that, the option of covering the silo will appear and the grass will start to ferment. When the process ends, the silage is ready.

Do you have to invest money to buy cows?

Question: Enable Straw Swath

Does this affect my harvest numbers? Or does disabling/enabling have no affect on my harvest, similar to FS15? I would like to gather the left behind straw from my harvest, gather it with a loading wagon and sell it at the Barn to help offset the cost of seeds and fertilizer, but if it reduces my harvest numbers then it is definetly not worth it.

Re: Question: Enable Straw Swath

Putting the straw in a swath to gather and sell has no effect on crop yield whatsoever.
Gathering the straw to sell early on is very much worth it.
