With 19 the entire digestate tank will empty out with out you having to do anything but watch. This function was available in FS17 but the difference was that you had to keep hitting the upload button when the portable tank sold out. This allows you to park a slurry spreader tank in that spot and light up both buttons for both filling the tank and selling the digestate at the same time. What is really nice about it is that you can place it right on your bio gas plant structure immediately adjacent to the digestate out take.

You probably already know this but there is a mod available for a slurry sell point that also will take digestate. also there isn't a line item in the pricing area for the bio-gas station or for the barn that would be a great update along with a silage silo(s) either for cattle or sale at the bio gas station Appropriate only once you no longer need to treat your farm like a business.There aren't any sell points for manure or slurry produced by cattle/pigs. In other words, cows are, at best, an end-game thing. Yes, you can cut your TMR with straw so it isn't entirely grass but it isn't enough to dramatically change the analysis.Īlso, you might get more for your milk, but if everything lines up you might be breaking even.Īs Cows are a lot of work to keep them simply as farm ornaments.

Thus, you are putting $250 worth of food into something that produces $210 worth of produce. If you sell the manure and slurry at the biogas plant and sell the milk for about $500 (hard economy) you get about $210 per day. On the other hand, a cow (roughly) produces 190 manure, 125 slurry, and 125 milk per day. Though they make milk and reproduce it does not nearly make up for the potential lost revenue from a bio gas plant.īy my calculations, each cow (roughly) consumes 500 TMR, 100 water and 100 straw.Īssuming that the TMR was entirely made of hay and silage and that straw is worthless, on hard economy, that would be about $250 revenue if all the hay was turned into silage and sold at a biogas plant ($500/ 1000 l). Cows do not produce nearly as much manure and slurry as they eat.
