With Seasonal Growth enabled in Farming Simulator 25, plant and harvest each crop within its calendar window. The table below gives the standard base-game schedule; check the crop calendar in your active save before sowing, because maps, mods, and settings can change the dates. GIANTS Software says you can deactivate Seasonal Growth to plant and harvest at any time.

FS25 crop planting and harvest calendar

These are the standard base-game windows reported for each crop. The in-game calendar for your save takes precedence, particularly on custom maps or modded saves.

Crop Plant or sow Harvest Planning note
Wheat September–October July–August Autumn-sown; the Academy says it takes about ten months to grow.
Barley September–October June–July One of the earliest cereal harvests.
Oats March–April July–August Spring-sown cereal.
Canola August–September July–August Autumn sowing; harvest overlaps summer.
Sorghum April–May August–September Mid- to late-summer harvest.
Soybeans April–May October–November Late autumn harvest.
Corn / maize April–May October–November Late autumn harvest.
Sunflowers March–April October–November Late autumn harvest.
Potatoes March–April August–September Specialist root-crop harvest.
Sugar beet March–April October–November Specialist root-crop harvest.
Sugarcane March–April October–November Check the active save calendar for local behavior.
Cotton February–March October–November Early planting, late harvest.
Grapes March–May September–October Vineyard crop with specialist equipment.
Olives March–June October Short listed harvest window.
Grass March–November April–November Cut when ready; it can be cut again after regrowth.
Oilseed radish March–October Not harvested Cultivate it back into the soil as a cover crop.
Poplar March–August Year-round once mature Harvested as wood chips after maturity.
Rice April–May August–September Requires paddy and water management.
Long-grain rice April–May September–October Separate crop with a later listed harvest window than rice.
Spinach March–April and August–September May–June and October–November Two crop cycles are listed.
Peas March–April July–August Windows vary in some references; check the active calendar.
Green beans April–June August–October The official tutorial index includes a crop-specific tutorial.
Carrots April–June August–November Specialist vegetable crop.
Parsnips April–June August–November Specialist vegetable crop.
Red beet / beetroot April–June August–November Specialist vegetable crop.

GIANTS Software’s Academy seasonal-cycles guide explains how to read crop timing and gives wheat as an example: it is sown in September or October and harvested the following July or August. The official tutorial index lists crop-specific guides; onions are identified there as Highlands Fishing expansion content.

How Seasonal Growth changes planting

Seasonal Growth on

Planting is restricted to each crop’s window. Prepare fields and equipment ahead of busy periods, especially when several crops need to be sown at once. The Academy describes the crop calendar as the tool for checking when to sow and harvest.

Seasonal Growth off

GIANTS Software’s FS25 manual says deactivating Seasonal Growth allows you to plant and harvest at any time. This removes calendar restrictions for a more flexible sandbox-style save.

Days per month and harvest deadlines

The Academy says the default is one day per month and the setting can be increased to 28 days per month; changing it changes the length of the in-game year. Wheat illustrates why both the season and harvest deadline matter: the Academy says it takes ten months to grow and is ready the following July or August, depending on when it was planted. It also warns that wheat left beyond its harvest timeframe withers; its example says it must be harvested before October.

Plan around busy seasons and equipment

March and April are crowded planting months: cereals, row crops, root crops, rice, and vegetables share spring windows. Many harvests cluster in late summer and autumn, while barley and some other cereals are ready earlier in summer. Spread fields across different windows where practical, and choose crops to match the equipment you have available.

  • Budget for specialist harvesting equipment before planting root vegetables, cotton, grapes, olives, or rice; these are not interchangeable with a standard grain setup.
  • Use the official crop tutorial index for crop-specific guidance on equipment and handling.
  • For custom maps or modded saves, consult the calendar shown in the save. The Academy calendar explanation covers the base seasonal system, while a calendar companion tool describes using base-game data by default and syncing with server crop data, including custom maps: Farming Simulator app.

Why your save’s calendar may differ

The month ranges above are a practical standard-calendar baseline, not a guarantee for every map, mod, or version. The official manual and Academy explain Seasonal Growth and give wheat as an example, but the detailed month-by-month list comes from a secondary crop guide. If a listed window conflicts with what your save shows, use the in-game crop calendar as the final word.
