Since the vines are close together, we’ll use a slim subsoiler for this task. Make it look nice and tidy, and immediately continue with the next step. Lower the mulcher, turn it on, and mulch row after row. Since we want to keep the spaces between the vines clear, we’ll attach the mulcher to the tractor, as soon as grass begins to grow higher. Repeat this procedure until you get enough vines. Put down the next pole, drag the vine across the field, and put down the final pole, again. ![]() That’s the ideal distance between two rows of vines. Since grape vines should be as close together as possible, zoom in, and move the cursor away from the first row until you see the silhouette turn up again. Then, you just drag the vine across the field and put down another pole. Place the vines by clicking on free space on your land to put down a pole. Note that you can only plant the vines between the beginning of March and the end of May if seasonal growth is enabled. Open the build mode and click on ‘orchards’ section in the production tab. Got everything you need? Then let’s start on your assignment and place some grape vines. As stated before, your usual tractor, and spraying machine won’t fit between the vines, and you need slim machinery. In the ‘Packs’ section of the shop, you find everything you need. You need a leaf cutter to prepare the vines after harvesting to grow grapes again.Īnd you need a trailer to transport and sell the harvested grapes. ![]() You need a special grape harvester to harvest the grapes. Without fertilizer, the income from your harvest will be significantly lowered. You need a special fertilizer spreader and a pallet of liquid fertilizer. You need a mulcher to cut back the grass growing between the vines. You need a special subsoiler to loosen the soil between your grape vines. You need a tractor to attach the following tools and operate them. Not necessarily a flat field used for your other crops, but a nice meadow on the hill, maybe. You need an open space to build your grape vines. Let’s take a look at everything you need to plant and harvest grapes. You’ll work in narrow spaces between the vines. That’s also why you need specialized equipment. Grape vines require the proper distance between each other to save space, and also get exactly the right amount of sun, water, and air. That seems excessive to me.Welcome to your next ‘Crops 101’ lesson of the Farming Simulator Academy! Today, we’re focusing on delicious grapes, and creating a nice vineyard on your farm. As stated above, it takes 28 years to break even on my small little vineyard. Sure, you plant them once, but it takes you 10 years to recover that planting cost. Rough math says you should have doubled what you sold 21 pallets for of grape juice. So it depends if you want to spend the time preparing them each harvest.ĭid you sell at the right place? In my game its showing grape juice with a price of You only need to plant them once as it regrows so over time it will pay for it's self. ![]() Olives are better for just selling but while grapes are not worth it for one harvest. Is this consistent with every other method? At that rate, we'll be 28 years before we break even on our investment, NOT including fuel, fertilizer, repair/repaint fees, etc. We processed everything into grape juice and then sold to the farmer's market in November at a pretty high rate. We had carefully done everything right, 100% fertilized, mulched, cultivated, etc and were excited to finally make a sale. ![]() The rest of that is invested in the harvester and other grape-specific machinery. My vineyard cost us $825k to set up, including $250k for the vines, $80k for the plot of land, $80 for the grape processing unit and $80k for the farmer's market.
