FS19 Autumn Oaks: DFMEP v1.0
It’s finally here, after numerous weeks of staying up all night pushing myself and the game to the limit to produce the most realistic dairy farming map ever produced for Farming Simulator.
Autumn Oaks was originally created by Cwj108, converted to FS19 by MB Farms FS, Brian Greenawalt remodelled the barns, and the project was passed to me by JMF Modding to make a working map out of Brian’s new barns. I went above and beyond and turn the map into the closest thing to a day-to-day simulation of a small-medium scale dairy farm
possible in Farming Simulator 19, with the skills that I have.
The map features a realistic feed ration and feeding system via Maize Plus, multiple animal pens on three farms, allowing you to separate heifers from calves, and dry cows from milking cows to maintain maximum milk production year round. The beef farm has been transformed into a cow-calf operation where you raise female beef cattle for the purpose of producing calves to either expand your herd, or to raise to a good weight to fetch a good price at the stockyard. Two feed carts are included for the purpose of feeding in the tie stall barns. Bedding your cattle can be done with straw, corn stalk bales, OR soybean straw bales(do not use more than one straw type at once, wait for the straw to run out before switching straw types).
The map also features grain drying, and the ability to ferment earlage, haylage, and corn silage and high moisture corn in vertical silos, thanks to GlobalCompany. The feed rooms feature conveyor belts to allow you to unload multiple silos in one spot, and on the main farm, you can install a stationary TMR mixer.
Seasons brings snow covered roof tops and frozen streams and ponds. The included Seasons GEO is based on real weather of the area, and leaves you with narrow planting and harvesting windows, but if you use Green Mowing, you can take advantage of the ability to turn winter grains into haylage, and plant silage corn or soybeans into the same field to get two crops from that field in one year. The ability to do cereal forage is important as well due to the fact that the animal feed consumption has been turned up to realistic levels. The yields are decent, especially with abundance of good soil on the map when you use Precision Farming(an edited one by [TAG JS MAPPING], that I edited to adjust manure values and yield bonuses to be a little more realistic is included in the optional folder in the ZIP archive), but the prices are low, they are the same prices as Medicine Creek, which i believe are based on average prices from 2018-2019.
All of the farms feature autoload hay lofts which will take small square bales and store them away for you to retrieve inside of the barn, saving you time when feeding or bedding. The tie stall dairy and the beef barn have a spot inside that will allow you to shred a round bale and dispense it below, as well. The autoload loft can be disabled at the tie stall dairy and the beef farm by walking up to the pitch fork, and clicking, this will allow you to manually stack large square bales.
Some other features I haven’t mentioned:
Additional crops: alfalfa, triticale, rye, silage corn, and narrow soybeans
Earlage: Using the modified headers I released when I released Mercer, you can make earlage.
Ear corn: This map is completely compatible with the ear corn pack I released with Mercer
Buckets: If you only have a few calves, and don’t want to invest in a tanker for milk replacer, or want an easy way to take them cracked corn or beanmeal, you can use the GC panel to spawn some buckets of milk replacer, cracked corn, or beanmeal.
Realistic hay yield: Making more than one cutting of hay per year is now important.
And many more features I haven’t mentioned here.
Seasons, Global Company, and Maize Plus(with Forage and CCM extensions) are required to play this map.
I recommend Green Mowing, Precision Farming, and the animal pen extension mods.
The zip you download needs to be extracted, within it are:
The map
The bale barns
A forage blower
The stationary mixer
The milk replacer pack
A New Holland grinder mixer specifically for this map
Two feed carts for the tiestall barns
A John Deere gator from Blacksheep Modding, modified to carry cows and calves on the “skip” implement
A pack of sleep triggers
And an optional folder with an edited Precision Farming Addon
