In Farming Simulator 25, there are many ways to earn money, but most of them require significant investments—both financial and time. Of course, if you want to explore all aspects of the game, this is useful, but for beginners at the start, it can be difficult. The likelihood of business failure is high, as success comes through mistakes and experience. In this guide, we will look at several proven business plans that will help you quickly become profitable. We will also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each so you can choose the optimal path.
This mod is built into the game and available for free. To find it, go to the Downloadable Content section and select Gameplay. Just click on it with the left mouse button and choose to install.
When creating a world, you will be presented with a full list of installed mods. Don't forget to select the newly installed Government Subsidy mod. Your farm will initially have a lot of agricultural equipment available. You can sell them on the market to get initial capital.
Then go to the construction mode and select the Generators section. At the very end of the list, you will find a sign priced at 0 dollars. Place any number of such signs near your plantation. Each of them will add 9600 dollars monthly. You can enable accelerated time mode to see the first results of the mod's work.
This is the simplest but at the same time cheating way to increase capital on your farm. With just a few clicks, you can add unlimited amounts of money to yourself. The method is especially useful for those who want to quickly develop their farm without spending much time accumulating funds. No need to worry about financial constraints, as you will now have enough funds to implement any ideas and experiments, and for this, you just need to follow these steps:
Contracts are a great way to earn your first money in the game. You will be offered a number of tasks, such as mowing grass, harvesting, or packing hay into bales. The tasks are usually quite simple and do not require complex skills.
Each of them has its own equipment requirements, but if you don't have the necessary equipment, don't worry—you can always rent it from the contractor. Although the final payment will be slightly lower than when using your own transport, you will still make a profit after completing the work.
Animal husbandry in the game is one of the most profitable activities. One of its main advantages is the variety of opportunities. You can specialize in raising specific animals, such as only cows or chickens, or create a large farm with several types of animals, which significantly increases income. But it is worth remembering that this also brings more responsibility.
The profitability of animal husbandry depends on the sale of resources produced by your animals. One of the most profitable directions is buffalo breeding, as their meat has a high market price. Keeping these animals provides a stable income if the farm is properly managed.
To succeed, it is important to ensure a sufficient number of pastures, monitor the health of the herd, and regularly sell products. Of course, certain costs are inevitable, but compared to other types of animals, buffalo breeding is especially profitable and advantageous.

If your goal is to quickly accumulate start-up capital and ensure a stable income without significant effort, this farm will be the perfect choice.
Rice cultivation is a new but quite profitable farming crop in the game. To start rice farming, you will need special equipment and suitable land that can be flooded. The equipment itself is not too expensive, and the starting capital in the game is quite sufficient to start this process. However, rice farming requires certain efforts and preparation.
You cannot plant rice on a regular field—you need to create or acquire special flooded plots. Rice grows well in conditions of high humidity, so you will either need to prepare such fields yourself or buy land already equipped with water bodies. In addition, the grains need to be grown in a greenhouse to the seedling stage first. Once the seedlings are ready, you will need specialized equipment, such as the Iseki PRJ8D rice planter, to carefully distribute the plants across the prepared fields.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
Rice cultivation requires much more effort and attention compared to other crops, as the planting and harvesting process is more labor-intensive and complex. However, the high yield and stable market prices make rice farming an attractive option for those who want to quickly increase their income. Additionally, rice has wide applications in the production of various products, opening up additional opportunities for profit.
The game offers players new exciting mechanics. One of them is the ability to sell agricultural products, such as carrots, spinach, onions, mushrooms, and other products, directly in your own stall. This was also implemented in the previous part of the series, but only through DLC.
By growing vegetables, the list of which is presented below, you can sell them at the market or put them up for sale in your own stall, earning significantly more profit than selling through intermediaries. That is why this earning method is included in our list:
These products are always in demand and can become an excellent source of income.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
The right choice of assortment depending on the season can have a significant impact on the success of the business. Additionally, a favorable location of your stall in popular places on the map will help attract more customers, especially in multiplayer games.
This earning method has always remained one of the most stable and profitable in the game's history. You can start with the simple process of cutting down trees and selling wood for processing and then gradually develop your business, turning it into a full-fledged enterprise, such as a sawmill.
Advantages:
Disadvantages:
With minimal investments, you can create a successful business, and thanks to the possibility of deferred wood sales, you will have flexibility in resource management, allowing you to maximize profits.
Engaging in various crafts, you can obtain a variety of resources, such as grain, potatoes, sheep's wool, wood, milk, or eggs. All these products can be used for further production, significantly increasing your income compared to simply selling raw materials.
