For alla the wanna be farmers now living in the city
ive bought a Sim Game called Historical Agricultural Sim Game 2012. Its set in 1950. You have a choice of 2 farms. Ones in Switzerland and the others in France unfortunatly. I picked the French one as it had more farm level ground to plant in.
You make your money selling milk and eggs primarily, but you also can sell excess grain hay and livestock & logs.
You are givin a MF tractor to start with and a 3pt plartform. You have enough money to buy a plow, and a rotery hoe. They have a single bottom, and a 2 bottom. GET THE 2 BOTTOM. They dont have a disc, or planter, corn picker, BUT they do have a cultivator?
You are assumed to be selling milk and eggs to keep makeing money to continue improvements on the farm. As yet, I cant figure how to move bales of hay to the edge of the chute and let them drop. Ive dropped myself a doz times tho. I thought id be smart and raise hay and put it in a ground floor shed. Thought id move my grain (everything granualar is in bags) to that shed also. Cant move bags either?
It takes a heck of a puter to be able to play it, BUT it can teach you about farming, plowing, planting, harvesting, Mowing, raking and baleing hay, Regularity in the necessity of doing chores, ( your milk is graded. IF you dont sell it regulary in town, you are docked).
You can see Sockolaws play around 8 versions of it as tutorials for you to do it yourself when you get the game. Many others have posted tutorials also.
Game costs $15 with shipping. Cant tell you how to buy it, as I had to have my young nephew get it for me. Maybe a gamer on here will post as how to buy it.
You can have neighbors, and intermix with them. Might be handy putting up hay. Anything more I can tell you, let me know.
