    As someone who has a lifetime worth of experience farming, it would be entirely unrealistic if the later stages of "readiness" increased the yield. When a crop is ripe, that's it - the yield can never grow beyond that. The quality can change, but the yield never grows after its ripe.

      @runescapecorp42 6 лет назад +2

      StevenHerbs the yield can so change. Go combine a quarter of canola for example on a 30°c hot dry day then go back in time and combine the same quarter in cooler, more humid day..

      oops, The yield does NOT change with Canola or any other. The weight will be higher if you harvest sooner, but then you have to run the seed thru a dryer. Or it will rot. In the end the yield is the same no matter what. StevenHerbs is correct.

    • @The_Black_Knight
      @The_Black_Knight 5 лет назад +4

      Incorrect. 30+ year farmer. It entirely depends on the FRUIT TYPE for yields. It ABSOLUTELY makes a difference. Grains for example are not grapes or even hay, you harvest at different maturity points based on weather and crop age which CAN INCREASE their yield. Optimization is a bit of science rather than art.

    In real life you want to cut it as early as you possibly can when the moisture is at 15% the longer in the season you leave it the lower quality you get, the starches can start to be used by the plant and that lowers the quality and also lowers the weight of the grain which mean you get less tons per Ha over all.

    There is a HUGE science to peaking harvest in real life. Most corporate midwest operations in the U.S. had it down to a 2hr window... and that was more than 10yrs ago. I haven't been around those huge operations in years... but I'm certain they refined it to an even more precise timing. For the average farmer, it's not a big deal. When corporations have 100's of thousands of acres, in 1,000+acre fields, peaking a harvest makes significant dividends.

    In real life its not as simple as this. When the grain is dry its considered ready to go, and since at this point the crop is dead leaving it longer is going to be a detriment. Farmers want to get the crop off as quick as possible when the going is good. Weather like wind and rain will knock down plants and shell out grain. Certain crops will sprout in the head like wheat or barley and peas will bleach which lowers its value. Another we have to deal with in real life is geese or other wildlife. If left alone geese can annihilate a few dozen acres of peas or wheat in mere days.

    @frankenberry9670 3 года назад

    I've been doing sugar cane which doesn't wither. Each time I harvest as soon as I notice its turned red and reached "Off with their heads" status. I found that there were a few immature plants in the field that couldn't be harvested. Since that plant is self propagating and I don't come back until I have a full field the "young" plants disappear on the next harvest. After three harvests rinse an repeat. I wonder what would happen if I sowed half the field on one day and half on the next. The possibilities for changing farm field art seems technically challenging.
    My guess is that it takes time to sow your initial crop and there is a slight period at the beginning of the red stage where not all plants are actually ready. This implies the game is actually keeping track of either each plant or small bundles. There might also be variations due to crop type.
    I would also guess that in real life the random variables are large enough that relatively small details like this are way within the margin of error.

    The problem is this does not reflect real life. Later harvesting based on certain fruits does increase end yields however it is CROP TYPE and WEATHER dependent for optimization. People who disagree do not have full multi fruit farming experience in real life. However, this is at risk of crop loss due to weather, not just withering.

    Sealey i found something out I don’t do this personally but with the contracting reimbursement method couldn’t you just lower the attachment sprayer down and reverse into the pallets and Hurd them into the sell point so you wouldn’t need a front loader and you are using someone else’s equipment so there’s no wear no use of your own diesel
