    You have harvested more than 100 hectares.

  • How to unlock Harvest King

    Sowing and harvesting will probably be the last, most time consuming achievements in the game. I strongly recommend to only start working on these once you have all horseshoes and the $10 million out of the way. Then you have enough money to buy the most expensive farming equipment that makes the grind less painful.

    Make sure that you are planting Canola, as you do not need to cultivate the land after harvest/before sowing. This will make the process quicker and cheaper, as you are skipping a step and saving money on cultivation equipment.

    Buy the following vehicles:
    - 2 Case IH Axial-Flow 9230 harvesters with Case 3020 Cutters
    - 2 Buhrer 6135A tractors with AMAZONE Condor 15001 Sowing Machines
    - Lizard Truck with Kroger Agroliner SRB3-35 tipper

    Note: You probably will not be able to afford this straight away, so either buy one of each for now and buy more later, or turn the game time to x120 and with income from your wind turbines you will have enough cash for all of it in next to no time.

    Go and buy the land marked with 1 on your map. This is optimal as it is big (more than 10 hectares) and has a spot nearby where you can sell your harvested grains. Turn your game speed down to x1 or x5 (so that the time you sow your whole field isn't as long time/date wise as if speed was at 120x, and it will ripen around the same time. Start your sowing vehicle on one side, get a worker to drive for you with , set the growth rate to max and wait until you can harvest. Once the whole field is sown you can turn the game speed back up to maximum. When the canola is ready (turns a golden brown colour), switch the speed back to x1 or x5 and begin your harvest. Harvesting is a lot slower than sowing, so you should have two harvesters working on different parts of the field (on opposing corners of the field; both should be driven by a hired worker. Once your harvesters reach 100% capacity they will stop. You need to empty the harvest into a truck.

    Buy yourself a Lizard Truck and trailer. This is the largest, and you will want the lizard truck to clock up miles while your workers are doing their thing. Pull the truck next to the harvester, and their pipe will come out and deposit the harvest into your truck. You can sell your product at the dock at the north, simply go into the loading bay and press  when prompted.

    Make sure that your vehicles never disturb each other. The AI show no sign of intelligence, so if you have two harvesters or tractors on a field, they will just stop until you take control of one of them and move them out of the way. You'll want to keep an eye on them to make sure this doesn't happen. If you are bored you can take a vehicle for yourself and start harvesting, but most of the time you will be busy coordinating your three vehicles plus the truck.

    After long hours of work you will unlock the grind achievements for sowing, and harvesting in this order. If you are working solely on field #1, this will take around 10 full processes.

    Note that you can only have three workers at any one time. If you decide to try and speed up the process by purchasing more vehicles or land, you will either have to work them yourself or wait until a worker has finished the task they are currently on.

  • Can anyone who has the PC version of this, let us know how easy it is and roughly how long it would take for these achievements? Cheers.
  • I got this after playing about 20-30 hours on PC
  • Anyone know if hiring the workers counts toward this, because I saw the distance harvested going up on the stats when the worker was doing it. Also same question but for the seed sowing.
  • I can confirm that the workers do count towards these achievements
  • Workers count the only thing they don't count for is driving
  • Great strategy. But if you want to speed this process up buy field 3 also. Hire 2 workers to sow field 1 and 1 worker for field 3. After they are sown, speed the time up to 120x until you are ready to harvest. Set time back to 5x. Hire 2 workers on field 1 again and 1 worker on field 3 to harvest. Drive the semi around to empty the harvesters as needed. You can even buy field 2 and do all that yourself.
