More information on the new weather change feature
In Riverbend Springs and multiple other locations around the world, the weather is predicted to change more often. As we look at darkening clouds in the sky, listening to the wind, the farmers closing in, one can notice clear signs that some weather is on the way.
An August summer night, local farmers and residents are encouraged to take general precautions. But first, learn more in the following weather report and don’t forget to pre-order Farming Simulator 25 – coming November 12th!
A Twister’s In The Air
Farmers Feel It Everywhere
On a glory night, where the children of tomorrow dream away, farmers might notice the winds changing. We’re expecting a light twister to touch down in a few areas. It shouldn’t be anything too severe, but it’s always wise to take precautions and secure any unroofed bales, just in case.
Hail Is Coming Down
Bales Are Closing In
Some hail is also predicted to hit. The good news is, after these brief disturbances, the skies will clear up, and we’ll see the sun shining brightly once again. This weather event will pass, and we’ll be back to calm and sunny conditions before you know it.
Watch The Crops
The Trees & The Bales
Once the storm passes, local farmers are advised to inspect their fields for any destruction and assess the impact on their crops. While twister fans may observe the weather spectacle from a safe distance, farmers cannot afford to be careless as all weather events bear the potential to destroy a portion of crops.
In Riverbend Springs, we caught up with new-found farmer David, 36: “When all the other farmers were running around doing stuff to prepare, I did not think very much of it. I’m pretty new to all this, you know”.
Having learned his lesson, the former white-collar worker lost about half of his crops on a rather tiny plot and all of his bales left out in the open. “Even my shed got damaged”, he added, looking rather sad while proclaiming that mother nature added insult to injury. Relative to way bigger field sizes, other farmers got off lightly in comparison.
Meanwhile, the local lumberjack and forester of Riverbend Springs was not available for comment while tending to dead trees that were affected by the storm. “Some of us carry out essential duties. I must insist you grant me solitude while I tend to my fallen companions”, he said in a grumpy tone, before adding: “I observed your cameraman indulging in refreshments. I strongly suggest you refrain from littering in the forest as you depart.”
Watch The Sun Rise
For Peace of Mind
Instead, we got hold of retired farmer Walter, who shared his perspective on the recent weather changes. “Good weather always follows bad weather sooner or later,” says the 72-year-old farmer, reflecting on the shifting conditions. “Don’t know where all that thick fog suddenly comes from, though. Probably brought in with the Wind of Change.”
When asked if he had any more farming wisdom to impart about the weather, Walter had a classic reply: “Let’s take a rain check.” We’ll be revisiting Riverbend Springs in November to see how the weather has impacted the local farming community. Maybe you want to visit yourself and ask the locals some questions.
