EIT Food aims to collaborate closely with consumers to develop new knowledge and technology-based products and services that will ultimately deliver a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle for all European citizens.The best-selling franchise returns this year with a complete overhaul of the graphics engine, offering the most striking and immersive visuals and effects, along with the deepest and most complete farming experience ever.įarming Simulator 19 takes the biggest step forward yet with the franchise’s most extensive vehicle roster ever! You’ll take control of vehicles and machines faithfully recreated from all the leading brands in the industry, including for the first time John Deere, the largest agriculture machinery company in the world, Case IH, New Holland, Challenger, Fendt, Massey Ferguson, Valtra, Krone, Deutz-Fahr and many more.įarming Simulator 19 will feature new American and European environments in which to develop and expand your farm and will introduce many exciting new farming activities, including new machinery and crops with cotton and oat! Tend to your livestock of pigs, cows, sheep, and chickens - or ride your horses for the first time, letting you explore in a brand-new way the vast land around your farm. The initiative is made up of a consortium of key industry players, start-ups, research centres and universities from across Europe. This EIT Food activity has received funding from the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union, under Horizon2020, the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation.ĮIT Food is Europe’s leading agri-food innovation initiative, with the aim to create a sustainable and future-proof food sector. But we'll cover that more in-depth later. There is more data provided from soil sampling that play a significant role. If you were attentive when looking at the images of the 'Precision Farming' tab, you noticed that there are more filters other than "soil types". If you would take samples on every field at once, which you probably won't, you'll get a more complete picture of the soil properties of the entire land. When you get the lab results back, you'll directly see the soil properties on the soil map. Have enough samples collected? Press 'Z'.ĭepending on the difficulty you're playing on, the price of analyzing samples varies. Since one or two samples won't give you enough data to optimize your field prep, you need to cover as much of a field as possible.
Mind the fact, this is only the indication for areas with samples taken. Let's switch to the soil map and take a look at the visual impact of taking samples that are taken with a 25m radius. Samples are collected in the vessels at the bottom of the unit. As you can see in the following images, the ISARIA SCOUT is animated and you can watch the samples get taken. The next step is to find out about our soil before we begin preparing the field. Let's take a look at the new 'Precision Farming' tab in the menu.Īs you can see, there are four different soil types listed, but not yet visualized on the map until you've taken and analyzed samples. Meaning, there are four different levels of yield potential.
Thanks to the electronic control you conveniently operate the sampling unit with its drill right from the driver’s seat. Of course, you don't take the samples manually to find out which types of soil your crops are growing on.
(click on the pictures to view them in full-size!) You'll need the John Deere Gator and the fully automated ISARIA SCOUT. To start taking samples of your soil, you need two things. While project leads and members evaluate details and next steps, it's now time to show off selected features. Progress was made and the first gameplay features implemented into our test environment since the initial announcement. The US version of the LEXION 700-series, made with American wheel setups, additional monitors in-cab (including Greenstar guidance) and different chopper/spreader configurations. First look at Precision Farming: Of course, we saw you asking for news on the Precision Farming project for Farming Simulator 19 - a project initiated by John Deere and funded by EIT Food, Europe’s leading Food Innovation Initiative.
