What should I do to have a nice harvest of wheat?

LF - HELP

For now I'm doing this: plow > seed > harvest

I feel like there are some steps I'm missing like fertilizer, the game tutorial was lacking at the part.

Also when I harvest there aren't any wheat straws left, they are all spread out in the field, why?

Can anyone tell the order of things I should do to have a great Wheat harvest?

Since wheat doesn't require repeat plowing, I usually lime if necessary, cultivate, seed, fertilizer, spray for weeds, after you advance one growth stage fertilize again. Then harvest when it's ready. It may not be the most optimum, but I can usually get a decent yield out of it. I do skip mulching and rolling. Mulch right after harvesting and I think rolling is after seeding.

The straw thing is a setting on your harvester. There is an enable/disable straw swath when you are running it. Change that and you should start getting a row of straw behind you while harvest.

If you fertilize before you seed, you can fertilize again immediately after, without having to wait a month.

Does straw swath some bonus to next year yield? Kinda should, since in real life it provides organic material to soil (assuming farmer does not need/want straw).

Not that I'm aware of, but I could be wrong.

No, but there is a mod for it, that chopped straw gives one fertilizer stage

You are correct. It's called Chopped straw and you get one fertilising stage if you cultivate it in.

I find this field preparation guide very helpfull, it describes 3 scenario's but you'll get to the point rather quickly ;)

To create straw swaths you need to change the mode on the combine, by default its the , key (comma), it should show on the F1 keybind menu (top left)

To maximise yield; fertilise twice, mulch after harvest, roll after seeding, remove weeds.

You should read up on the tutorials is my best advice to. When it comes to plowing you don't HAVE to do that on cereals unless the field info tells you to, however if you plow first there's no need for using a weeder or herbicide, so how you want to do that is up to you and how you want to farm. Generally I plow every 5 years, in between those years I do as follows: cultivate --> fertilize -->sow -->roll--<fertilize-->harvest-->mulch, and repeat.

I harvest a lot of wheat. After harvest, it goes to my grain mill which supplies 4 bakeries with flour. I make about 200k per year on bread.

My routine is harvest, plow, rock, fertilize, plant, roll, fertilize. Some people will say that is overkill but I’ve tried other ways and this what works for me. I don’t have to deal with weeds for example and everything looks nice and clean.

If you get your yield bonus to 100% is that not the highest yield?

I plan oilseed radish straight after harvesting, and plant wheat and barley in the spring rather than autumn. Cultivate the oilseed just before planting the wheat seems to work well for me. I use a combined seeder/fertiliser.

So for me it's plant oilseed with fertiliser - cultivate - plant wheat - roll.

4 stages, I turn lime and rocks off, keep weeds and periodic ploughing. Plough instead of cultive every few years although I usually get bored and design a new farm before I get chance to run multiple seasons.
