Another wise thing a player can do in Farming Simulator 18 is visit the Shop before they go ahead with planting a certain type of crop. They don't have to purchase anything yet, just get an idea on what Equipment is needed for each given type of crop. Certain plants like Sugar Beets and Potatoes will need specialty equipment in order to both be planted and harvested, but a farmer won't know this if they don't take a look at the shop when they first begin their career. It's better to take a moment to get a sense of what is needed, instead of planting a crop that will eventually rot if you don't have the proper equipment to harvest it.
