[h2]For Growing Businesses & Big Operations[/h2]



Get over 20 new machines, buildings, and selling points in the Farm Production Pack! Whether you're starting small or growing a thriving empire, this pack offers content for every stage of your agricultural operation.

Begin with newer, more affordable wind turbines or invest in solar panels, complete with a robot for remote cleaning. Generate passive income and use it to build customizable sheds for storing equipment and materials.



As your farm expands, new selling points with dynamic prices and daily demands, including vending machines, market stalls, a supermarket, and a farm store, add a new layer of depth to the gameplay. Fast deliveries to these locations are rewarded with bonuses.


[h2]New Playthings - including a Distribution Center![/h2]



Among the new machines for your farm: the Lely Sphere! Utilize it to create liquid fertilizer from manure and air from animal sheds, making your farm more eco-friendly. Boost crop yields with VDW's Cleaner Tiger, which cleans and cuts sugar beets, and a washing drum that produces washed crops for higher prices.



With a sustainable farm and market demands met, set your sights on managing a distribution center. Covering 4,000 square meters, this endgame feature allows you to operate forklifts, manage high-load shelves, and distribute goods on a large scale. What could be more rewarding in the end, huh?

You need to run your farming operation smooth and sustainable - especially when it comes to logistics and resource management. Also, you should start washing your crops!

With the Farm Production Pack by Dutch Modding Incorporated (DMI) & GIANTS Software, you can soon expand your operation through a variety of supply and distribution options, including storage. It's coming April 30th for PC and consoles! You can preorder now.

[h2]Upgrade Economics, Production & Storage[/h2]



Included are over 20 new machines, buildings, selling-points, and more to expand your operation. Whether you want to start small or expand an already thriving operation: The Farm Production Pack has content for early game earnings (we're talking passive income here!) as well as the big stuff you build your way to - like a full-blown distribution center. Daily challenges included.


[h2]Starting Small, But Sustainable! [/h2]



Before you concern yourself with expanded economics and build your logistical empire, you may start with setting up newer, smaller, and therefore more affordable wind turbines. The new solar panels, though, come with a remote control robot cleaning them from the dust of your fields! 



As nice as this passive income is, even nicer are the new sheds, you can build with the funds that keep on coming. Open, closed, small, medium, big - take your pick! You can also customize them before you use them to store machines, pallets, bales, or bulk material.


[h2]Growing the Business(es)[/h2]



Sooner rather than later, you’ll notice that the market around your farm has grown and has gotten more demanding: The new selling points have dynamic prices and daily demands.



Vending machines, market stalls, as well as a supermarket and a farm store for agricultural goods reward fast deliveries with a little extra. 




[h2]New Playthings for Your Farm[/h2]



After supplying the farm store, get some sulfuric acid from them. Why? The Lely Sphere, a circular manure-handling system, creates liquid fertilizer by combining it with air from animal sheds. Voilá - you got yourself more fertilizer and are allowed to call your farm a little greener. 



You can make more off of your crops, too: VDW's Cleaner Tiger cleans and cuts sugar beets after separating them from stones, and a washing drum produces all kinds of washed crops, you can then sell at higher prices. With your farm sustainable, and the demands of the market met, there’s still room to grow…


[h2]Endgame: Manage a Distribution Center![/h2]



This is something to work towards and build: On 4,000 square meters, you manage your own distribution center full of heavy-loading shelves.



Operate a forklift to unload your trucks arriving at its unloading bays, make use of the high-load shelves with room for hundreds of pallets, and start distributing big-style. If that doesn’t feel rewarding, what does?

Straw Harvest is now available for Farming Simulator 22! Extend your agricultural operation with the pellet industry and increase straw-based productivity.  With the updated version, you can also look forward to improved visuals and details of the acclaimed expansion. 



The free Straw Harvest Pack by studio Creative Mesh brings you specialized machines, tools, and other resources. It’s available on PC and consoles, free of charge, directly via the in-game ModHub. 
[h2]Adding Brands & Machines[/h2]



Look forward to powerful machinery from manufacturers KRONE and Bressel und Lade. One of the highlight machines is the world's first mobile pellet harvester – the KRONE Premos 5000, which produces pellets by collecting straw and hay swaths from the field. Alternatively, it can be operated stationary with an additional bale shredder.

Also included are two balers, the KRONE BiG Pack 1290 HDP II and Comprima V180 XC alongside other machines for handling bales and pallets.
[h2]Industry-Based Gameplay[/h2]


To add another layer to the gameplay, a versatile and configurable industry hall allows for storage and processing. While produced pellets can be sold, used for animal bedding, or fed to animals, the industry allows more possibilities through configurations.



Use it as an empty hall for parking vehicles as well as storing bales and pallets, or add a hall crane for easier moving of bulk material, bales, and pallets. Adding an automatic palletizer, further processed pellets can be sold at an even higher profit.
