![]() He instilled in me a love of farming and while it wasn’t in the cards for me to carry on as a the 5th generation of Blake Farm in real life, there’s no reason I can’t do it in a game. This map is dedicated to my late grandpa, Darwin Blake. Turn on your interactive zone markers to find the location of these triggers. The machine shed at both the cow farm and the arable farm do have equipment triggers. ![]() There are a couple of potato farms and apple orchards in the area as well. In this area of Michigan the main crops are corn, soybeans, wheat, and sugar beets. You’ll find the same textures found on Autumn Oaks, including alfalfa and soybean row spacing to reflect what is typically seen in the U.S. Here you’ll find a silage clamp, a hay/straw trigger (by the bales) and a silage sell trigger in the back.Īn additional hay/straw trigger can be found east of the farm at Kilborn’s. The animal dealer is across the road from the rest of the sell points. My great great grandfather had apple trees here and I left it open for those who like to use a fruit tree mod.Īnimal load triggers are found at the entrance gates at each animal area. South of Field 3 there is a small open area. The wood stove in the back yard of the cow farm does have a wood sell point in it and there are a group of pine trees in the middle of the woods directly south of Field 2 to recreate our winter activity of cutting wood. There is also a sheep farm, a pig farm, and an arable farm with a large shed and grain silos. I used as many local companies as possible. Sell points are tucked into the SW corner of the map along with a paved area for placeables. The map has chopped straw and is seasons ready. There is a grass area here that I made sure was flat so it can be used for placeable grain bins, etc. ![]() My grandpa also owned the farm to the north where you’ll find the combine and some other equipment. There is a working fermenting stave silo for silage. You start off with all the fields my grandpa owned in real life, 15 cows, hay, straw, silage, and a healthy bit of equipment. My grandpa raised corn, soybeans, wheat and raised 10-15 feeder steers at a time. So I made it a point to keep this map as simple as possible. My grandpa had no interest in being a big time farmer, deciding instead to stay out of debt and live simply within his means. It’s a 2x map based on my grandpa’s farm. Blake Farm is a small farm based between Vassar and Frankemuth, Michigan. ![]()
