Straw can be used as Bedding for your Cows, by dumping it into the cow shed at the Pasture. It is often better to collect Straw only with the intention of using it for Cows (see below). It can earn you some money early on, on top of what the crops themselves bring, but the equipment required to process Straw in the first place is expensive, and collecting Straw may be quite a bit of extra work. Note that this is one of the least lucrative methods of gaining money from Straw. A bale contains 4 tons of Straw, so a single Straw Bale sells for $320.

Drive a Loading Wagon carrying Straw right up to the barn door, or any vehicle carrying Straw bales, to sell your Straw. In both cases, this is a brown barn with an open door, that has straw visibly spread out on the ground in front of the door. In both Bjornholm and Westbridge Hills, there are specific locations where Straw (either in loose or bale form) can be sold. Also, fertilizing does not increase the amount of straw collected.Ī hectare of Wheat yields around 57450 liters of Straw.Ī hectare of Barley yields around 57900 liters of Straw. There is no known financial benefit to disabling Straw Swath. One bale of Straw contains 4,000 liters.Ĭreating a Straw Swath does not decrease the amount of Wheat or Barley harvested. Alternatively, the Straw Swath can be packed into either round bales or square bales by the appropriate Baler, and then picked up in this form by a variety of other machines.

It can then be picked up by any Loading Wagon that is capable of carrying Straw.

The Straw Swath is left in a long thin line directly behind the harvester. The Straw Swath option is automatically toggled off whenever harvesting other types of crops. When this option is toggled on, the harvester will leave a trail of Straw behind it as it harvests either of these crops. Every Harvester in the base game that is capable of harvesting Wheat or Barley has an option called 'Create Straw Swath'.
