The first week after the release is behind us. Thanks to all of you whove supported us and thanks to everyone who enjoys playing Cattle and Crops. We hope that you like what we have done and have collected your feedback. So today we're releasing a hotfix update that fixes some bugs and crashes as well as includes a few optimizations.
Regarding the selling prices: we have increased the selling prices of grain using the difficulty level price factors, and at the same time we have lowered the animal selling prices a bit (for values see the changelog). That way the profit gap has become much narrower and it is much more worth it to cultivate and harvest grain. In our calculations, the new values can be used very well.
In addition we have generally repaired all selling price calculations in connection with the selling price difficulty.
Another change is that bought grain, seeds or fertilizer can only be resold at a significant loss (90% deduction). This value is mixed with self-produced crops - a sale with e.g. 50% purchased and 50% harvested grain will result in a 45% deduction.
Similarly, young (low weight) animals have a very low resale value. This increases exponentially the more they weigh, so that only selling nearly or fully grown animals results in a profit.
These deductions are independent of the difficulty level.
As always, you can find the complete overview in the changelog.

🕹️ Partial Controller Support
- "Cattle and Crops"-SteamOS [35.9 M]
- Professional Farmer: Cattle and Crops - Digital Supporter Pack
You have the choice: control the vehicles yourself and experience realistic driving or leave the work to your employees, lean back and enjoy the field ballet.
Highly detailed machinery, realistic harvesting methods, original sounds and an authentic vehicle physics system offer you a compelling experience in Cattle and Crops.
Experience the varied everyday life of a farmer. Choose between a story mode or free play. The game also provides additional tutorial missions to make you familiar with the simulation.
Hire employees to cultivate your fields, or to assist you when you’re harvesting. You can delegate tasks with your calendar and watch your employees do their job or take care of the work in front of you on your own. Cattle and Crops provides a complex employee system where the workers take care not to damage the harvest.
Skillfully avoid unnecessary driving tracks on the field to keep soil compaction low so your plants can spread their roots in the loose soil to maximize the yield.
Take care of your crops so don’t hang their heads and make your fields prosper.
Plant growth (using the real BBCH scale) is based on multiple soil attributes like moisture, pH value, temperature, sunshine hours, NPK fertilizer and diseases.
Gather the harvest at the right time and try not to get stuck in the mud when it’s raining.
Cattle and Crops offers a range of big, well known industry brands such as CLAAS, Köckerling, Lemken, Mercedes-Benz and a lot more.
Extend the game with your own vehicles, implements and maps. We’re providing you with all the tools you need for it.
