Several machines are not available as brand new ones anymore :

- Agram : 15 machines are not built anymore

- Grimme: 6 machines are not built anymore

- JCB : 2 machines are not built anymore

- Jeantil: 1 machine is not built anymore

- Landini : 9 machines are not built anymore

- Same: 4 machines are not built anymore

These machines have be replaced by new models during the SimAgri Show.

Now, on SimAgri forums, everyone can actively moderate and contribute to the forum atmosphere.

Everyone can send an alert about every topic or message. If several players send the same alert about a message, the message will be considered as "moderated" and it will be removed from the forum (except for messages posted in the wrong forum). Admins can, if they judge so, disapprove a moderation and make the message visible again.

To encourage people posting in the good forum and to moderate properly, a system of reputation points has been implemented. Those points are visible on your people's profile. Above currently undefined amount of points, players will be given access to a specific forum for experienced players.

How to earn points :
- by posting on the forums, to "thanks" the player for being active (1 point by message written) ;
- by moderating messages (10 points by approved moderation).

How to lose points :
- by being moderated (10 points per moderated message, 100 for rudeness or non-respect of the SIMAGRI charte) ;
- By moderating abusively, meaning when your moderation is disapproved by an admin (10 points by disapproved moderation and loss of the moderation points earned previously).

Players with a bad reputation are easily identified and can be banned by admins if deemed necessary for the forums "sake".

How to post properly and make forums nicer :
- by abiding by the SIMAGRI charte ;
- by not doing ads about your farm, your secondary activities, by not spamming, by not posting pointless messages (use the chitchat forum), by respecting topic subjects ;
- by not using SMS language and writing in a readable way ;
- by doing search on forums before writing a post to avoid asking the same questions again and again, by posting in a unique topic (if one does exist) to centralise all information ;
- by not mixing up forums and hotline (hotline is for problem with your farm only requiring admin help) ;
- by posting your message in the right forum and right category.

To be able to moderate, here are some requisites :
- to be identified on the forum ;
- to have a simpass ;
- not having been banned from the forum ;
- to have a positive reputation (above 0). Some changes and updates about the threshold at which a message will be considered as moderated and about the sanctions may occur in the next few days.

Doses from dead or sold males will not be lost anymore and thus will still be usable. "Male" contract will go under "Liquidation" status and will be automatically ended once the all doses will be used.

The 21th Annual Show is taking place from 1st until the 7th of march 23. The 39 equipments will be displayed during the week. You can guess what they are with the silhouettes.

The SAEC can now communicate through a weekly message to the players from a region. The message will be received by all players from a region in their mail box.

This message, to be sent will need a vote from the SAEC representatives and also a validation by the SimAgri Team.

There will be only a message per week and per language (english and french).

To make your life easier when you name your animals, we provide you with a new filter. You can sort out :
- named animals
- nameable animals (not in naming process)
- animals in naming process
- animals whose name has been refused

Moreover, when an animal is in naming process, the name you picked will show in bracket. If the name has been refused, it'll be crossed out.

Beetroot's quota for the 23th year have been calculated. Check the "My quotas" page to see yours.

We simplified the "BREED" and "MALE" contracts for your own animals. Steps have been removed. For 'other players' animals it remains the same.

The fertilisers and phyto treatments 1, 2 and 3 have been replaced by nitrogen fertiliser, herbicide treatment, insecticide treatment and fungicide treatment.

As promised, the new 'crop program' is now available. Here are the changes made to the old system.

- New crop list display with tabs offering much more information all at a glance. The old plot display is now available only on the menu to the left hand side.

- Plot terrain (land relief) : elevation, orientation, slope, streams and rivers
Elevation and orientation are given just for information at the moment but will be of use later on. They give the slope of the plot. The stronger the slope, the more APs will be needed to work them.
Animals can drink in streams and rivers.
If your plot is close to a stream, a river or if it is in a depression, there will be a risk to bog your machines (an extra amount of APs will be required to get out of the bog).
- Soil nutrients management.
The soil contains 6 nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S) all necessary to your crop growth. For an optimal yield, you may want to add these nutrients by adding fertilisers. Each crop has different needs. After the harvest you will find a loss in your soil nutrients.
The values given are theoretical but a soil analysis is possible every 5 years. It\'ll give you the exact composition of your soil. By default, all plots had their first analysis made with teh program implementation.
Not only fertiliser addition can improve your soil nutrients but also, manure spreading, cover crop, straw shredding.
If instead of shredding your straw you press it into bales, you will lose nutrients.
Moreover, the plot\'s quality ( good, average, poor) is now available. It has an influence on the amount of fertiliser to be added and also on the harvest quality. From now on if you sow and harvest on a sunny day in a good quality plot you have 100% chance to get a good quality harvest. The soil quality may change at each soil analysis but the chance of changing is quite small. Plot pricing now depends on the plot quality : +10% for average quality and +20% for good quality.
A table is available from the menu on the left side of the screen that gives you what fertilisers you need. The fertiliser used in the old version will be automatically replaced by a new one (most likely nitrogen fertiliser), so do not throw it away.
Fertiliser purchase from the cooperative has been made more user friendly. You can now overload your trailer and the cost in AP will depend on your purchase and the number of trips needed. Careful though as only goods not available in RACs benefit from this system.

- New phyto treatment management.
Phyto treatment is not mandatory anymore. Your crops can now have problems randomly (fungi, insects, weeds) you will have to fight. The later you will take action, the bigger will be the damage ( growth regression).
The old version treatments 1, 2 and 3 are of no use anymore. The treatments used for market gardening are now replacing them. Do not throw away your stock of old ones they will be replaced soon.
A new building is available now : the phyto treatment room. It is used to store all types of phyto treaments. This building is not mandatory but it will make your farm in accordance with the PR-SIM1 standard ( with no effect so far).
FWF that used to perform phyto treament jobs have to check their pricing.

- Pluviometry management.
The effect rain has on the crop growth is not given in days anymore but in millimetres and each crop requires a certain amount of rain to grow. The amount of rain varying from a region/state to another, it\'ll thus be harder to grow crops requiring a lot of water in dry regions/states. Irrigating brings an additional amount in millimetres to the rain. For better irrigation we increased the spring flows so a level 1 spring now gives 100 cubic metres instead of 1 cubic metre.

A few changes and tuning will most likely take place in the following days.
