Farming Simulator 25: Forestry

In Farming Simulator 25, mastering forestry involves unique techniques for growing, harvesting, and transporting trees, including the special case of poplars. Poplars are cultivated like regular crops without the need for plowing, and they regrow after harvest, making them a straightforward source of wood chips. You'll need specific equipment such as tree planters, poplar balers, or forage harvesters to optimize yields.

For general tree planting, the guide details 12 types of trees divided into coniferous and deciduous, each requiring different harvesting tools like chainsaws or harvesters. Cultivation requires no field preparation, but patience is key as growth takes over a year. Efficient harvesting involves cutting, trimming, stump removal, and transporting logs using cranes, trailers, or forwarders. Wood chips and timber have distinct sales periods and values, with January offering peak prices.

Transporting felled trees can be challenging in dense forests. The guide explains the use of winches and skidding winches to maneuver logs into accessible areas or uphill, requiring powerful tractors and careful setup. This comprehensive coverage equips you with essential knowledge for profitable and efficient forestry management in Farming Simulator 25.
