#Farming simulator 19 review how to#

There are pretty solid tutorials available for those new to the series, or players who want a refresh, and these range from learning how to set up a farm to how to use various pieces of equipment and how to perform certain tasks. That’s just for crops, mind, as you can also raise animals, sell lumber, and complete contracts for your fellow farmers.

In Farming Simulator 19, you do everything from ploughing the soil to adding fertilizer, then planting crops, harvesting them, taking them to market and then replenishing the soil ready for the next crop. This isn’t a Farmville or Stardew Valley kind of farming, where you click on a patch of earth, plant a seed and then come back two days later to sell your wares at market. This was my first foray into the Farming Simulator series, and I have to admit that I was unprepared for the sheer amount of depth available to players. Thankfully, Farming Simulator 19 doesn’t come with the smell of natural fertilizer, but it does promise to be the next best thing when it comes to pretending to establish your own farming empire. I do, however, have distinct memories of passing fields full of sheep and cows on the way to a family holiday in the south of England, and I have even more distinct memories of the smell of manure permeating the car and sticking in your nostrils long after the farm itself has disappeared over the horizon. While some children obsess over tractors and farming equipment, I was more interested in dinosaurs and spaceships. I was never really into farming as a kid.
