Thank you! Please be aware that these tips are slightly out of date - generally they still apply but there have been some changes that make it no longer 100% accurate :)
A ploughed field reduces the nutrient consumption by 1/5th and adds +15% to a field's nutrients across the board after plowing each spring - this basically means you can (depending on the crop) squeeze more planting seasons in before you need a fallow season to fully restore the fertility.... hope that helps!
When you go to purchase cows in from the neighboring cities, there should be 3 options for you to choose from (in this order); Cows, Bulls and Oxen. Most of the time the game will default to 20 Cows being purchased, just delete that number and add the number in the respective box to purchase Bulls or Oxen.

But what´s the benefit of plowing in the game?
Using a plough increases the fertility and yield - more potato's!
@@The_Beard By how much? Is it the same for all crops, all nutrients?

I have only ever been able to buy cows not bulls and of course with no bulls breeding is not an option

@@philosofize803 yeah thanks I have since worked that out.
Glad you got it working!
Of course only bulls can become oxen. 😂 It's done by castrating them.
Are all oxen castrated and are male? Maybe it my part of the world but I have seen cows pulling ploughs - glad it gave you a chuckle!
