What to expect from the DLC

The new version of the Precision Farming DLC for Farming Simulator 22 will include the initial version's features like soil types, soil sampling, variable rate applications and economic analysis. On top of that, advanced precision farming technologies will be implemented to increase the sustainability of your farms.

Optical sensors will be introduced, allowing a reduced application of herbicides as well as organic and mineral fertilizers. We will go further into detail in the near future, so stay tuned!

DLC releases next spring

Right now, we're focused on the upcoming release of Farming Simulator 22 on November 22nd. The new version of the Precision Farming DLC is scheduled to release in the Spring of 2022.
