Crop Rotation & Work Calendar for FS25. This calendar is intended exclusively for players who have set their game to a minimum of 15 – 28 days per month and is designed with a focus on realism, including steps that may not make sense from a purely gameplay perspective but are necessary when considering real-life agricultural practices.
This mod helps plan the next crop and corresponding field operations for each field, from stubble cultivation to harvest, with crop rotation scoring, a daily calendar, equipment recommendations, and automatic progress tracking.
