    Something in the video was a little glossed over was that the grass status was changed instantly from harvested to the first growing state with both methods. So if you are playing seasons, you gain an extra period of growth on your grass as it doesn't have to change from "Harvested".
    Likewise, if you are on seasons, sleep for a month and THEN roll it, you will return the grass to the first state of growth and you lose a period of growth. So always roll just after cutting.
    Previously I had been harvesting my grass as soon as it was "harvestable" state - maybe 4-5 harvests per year. Then I read a comment where someone suggested to only harvest your grass in April, July and October as that will net same or more yield than harvesting all year round.
    Sure enough he was right - would love to be able to credit the commenter but I have no idea who it was. That's saved me loads of harvests year on year. More yield, less work.
    Note: I only roll my grass just after cutting it.

      That's not correct mate. I used to think the same untill I've done a little test - mowed 2 fields and only rolled one of them and while rolling does change the growth state, both fields ended up on the same growth stage the next month (1 day months) and became fully grown at the same time.

      @@michuuu84for some reason it is different depending on which console you playing on.
      When I played fs22 on ps4 I didn't have to do anything after harvesting grass fields. The month after it changed automatically from harvested to growing.
      But on ps5 you need to use a grass roller to change the field status from harvested to growing.

    For me it's best to do both depending on how much digestate I have on hand. Grass is my main crop (like 90%). I don't sell it direct. I use it to feed my multiple biogas plants. I typically produce 9-10 million litters of loose silage plus my bale count limit every season.
    That's a lot of digestate but it will run out! Hence, mulcher when I have an abundance of digestate, roller when don't. The only downside to the roller is the time it takes. Even with my time interval set at X 0.5, I still have to run 2 rollers per field

    You have to consider slurry and manure as an option since grass will be food source for cattle. I know that in FS19 it wasn't worth it to use bio fertilizer, but now the price changed and maybe you need to do some tests on that again. Also when doing Grasssilage for the BGA you gain free Digestate that making mulching and fert important. Whathever you do you have options, I like the roller, but always go for yield bonus such as inoculant and stuff.

      True u get free Digestate in the BGA but u have to own the BGA to get that right. Also the cost of the BGA is $1.5million and unless u do several MASSIVE Silage sell loads it will take forever to earn that money back.

    Not sure how you're getting a default 98% yield bonus after using the grass roller on a harvested field. I bought a field I intended to use for grass and started it totally from scratch. I plowed it, picked the stones, seeded it, rolled it with the soil roller, limed it, fertilized it, then let it grow and harvested it. Even though grass isn't supposed to benefit from some of those steps I did them anyway just because I wanted to make sure I was getting as much yield as possible. After harvesting I use the grass roller and it gives me a yield bonus of 57% with 100% fertilization. I have no earthly idea where the other 41% in yield bonus is supposed to be coming from.
    It's super easy to get 100% yield bonus on any actual crop in the game, but for some reason the grass is just confounding.

    Great video, thanks - However I just bought the game recently and use Precision Farming, so it doesn't show the fertilize % in the info. So am I still good to do rolling with precision turned on and then use fertilizer to get the nitrogen up. ? I know this is an old video, but do you know the answer?

    • @Driver53Gaming

      Nitrogen is done differently with precision farming. You only apply after the crop is in the ground. If you use automatic application rate it will set your nitrogen level for the crop in the ground for you.

      maybe you can combine the biggest mulcher on the back with a fertilizer (with the same working width) on the front and driving in reverse mode. if this is working, you can save the second traktor/pass. but I think on the long run you loose more money than you earn because you need more equipment and a stronger traktor which all have to be replaced after some time

    One thing I've been struggling with is figuring out how to swath grass for baling. I saw it in a video and of course no one ever tells you the buttons to press, but if you buy the Pottinger Novacat A10 Crossflow (the only one that can swath as far as I know), unfold but don't lower, and it's in the 'hold right bumper' controls. I really wish they had product descriptions that told you this stuff instead of making you search the internet trying to find an answer. More of that "bend over backward and lick your left nipple" stuff.

    Let's say you have multiple jobs going on and you have a worker do this. Is it still cheaper if you factor in the cost of the worker doing the rolling? The fertilizer has such a wide spread that you could do a field in very few passes vs. a much longer job with the roller. Just curious. Thanks. Good video.

      @@juanmsanchez520 you would still have to mulch it, and all the mulchers are tiny. You would still have to factor in both the workers hired, one for the mulching (which would require more passes with the largest mulcher as compared with the largest roller) AND one for the fertilizing. So even though the fertilizing is only a few passes extra, they are still extra and you would pay more in worker fees for mulching and fertilizing, than you would for just rolling. Unless of course they have a wide width mulcher mod. But you'd have to test that specific piece of machinery against your own test fields.
