Developped by Cleversan Software and edited by Playway, Farm Manager 2018 shows that after Pure Farming, Poland is investing in agricultural simulation. With airs of the Sim City or the Sims, the title looks rather successful and looks a bit like Pro Farm Manager (game made in France this time). It has recently been referenced on Steam. Here is some info that we can read there, while waiting to have a little more info from the developers soon.
Cultures
In Farm Manager 2018 you have over 20 different crops that you can cultivate by hand or using machines. Each harvest has a specific expiration date. Before planting your seedlings, it is necessary to prepare the land for cultivation. You can watch your plants as they grow, from sowing and harvesting to flowering and ripening. You can irrigate your crops in times of drought. If plants are not properly treated, they get sick, lose quality, and eventually decompose.
Machinery
In the machinery market, you can buy new and used agricultural machinery. There are almost 40 machines to choose from. Used machinery breaks down faster than new machinery, especially when an inexperienced employee is operating the machine. Before purchasing the first agricultural machine, build a garage to ensure sufficient parking space.
Processing plants
A real farm does not stop at cultivating the fields. You can choose from over 40 buildings ranging from farm buildings and barns to manufacturing / processing factories. Build a specialized factory to process what you've managed to grow. You can produce juice and frozen food. Did you produce too much sheep, cow or goat milk? Start producing cheese or butter, unless you prefer to change farms for meat production.

Breeding
Growing plants is not enough for you? Farm Manager 2018 allows the breeding of animals. Starting with the smallest ones such as bees, rabbits or turkeys, but you can also raise goats and cows. Make sure you provide them with adequate feed for good production. Take care of newly purchased animals before they start producing eggs or milk. Bees love buckwheat and rapeseed, so create an apiary near the field with the appropriate plants. When the animals get sick, you'll need to call the vet, and if you want to breed your animals, you'll need to call the inseminator.
Season and weather management
Defy weather conditions such as drought or torrential rains and collect all the crops before the first frosts and snows. At any time, you can enter photo mode for spectacular photos of your farmhouse bathed in warm fall colors, or in a dark setting with a thunderstorm in the background.
Campaign, scenario, or free mode
Farm Manager 2018 offers 3 different game modes. There is a campaign mode, a mode with 15 possible scenarios and a leisure mode (free). The campaign will walk you through all the main aspects of the game and teach you how to properly manage the farm. Scenarios show how to handle specific situations and tasks. In leisure mode, you will have total freedom of action.
