Farming Simulator 25 what to do first

Farming Simulator 25 what to do first: inspect the field you already own and finish its current crop job before buying a new business. Hizzle's first-session goal is one completed production cycle with its money accounted for.

Inspect before working

Open the map and field information. Note ownership, crop, growth stage and any displayed needs. If the crop is ready, check the header and trailer before harvesting. If it is not ready, the crop calendar and current field state determine the next useful action.

1. Find the machines in the garage and learn which tool is currently selected.
2. Open the Help window. On the default PC controls, F1 exposes available actions, G switches the control group, and Q attaches or detaches a tool.
3. Do one complete pass and inspect its result before hiring a worker for the whole field.
4. Deliver or store the harvest using a compatible trailer and selling point.
5. Plan the following crop, supplies and field preparation.

The manual describes a worker wage and lease charges, so unattended work still has a cost. Hizzle suggests slowing the timescale while learning a new machine instead of letting another month pass with animals or bills waiting.

Choose one next lesson

If you want livestock, learn hay or grain supply first. If you want a larger farm, compare land costs and the equipment needed to work it. If you want a no-money challenge, use contracts to learn without pretending that a difficulty preset guarantees an empty bank balance.

Controller bindings vary. Use the displayed action labels rather than treating PC keys as PS5 or Xbox instructions.
