3 articlesIn Farming Simulator 22, you’ll want to get the maximum tillage score possible if you’re looking to plow your field. However, it’s not as easy as you might expect. Luckily, I got just the right guide for you!
Here, I’m going to show you how you can get the maximum tillage score shortly after plowing.
How to Get Maximum Tillage Score After Plowing in Farming Simulator 22
Getting a high tillage score in the game’s Precision Farming system is about understanding how the game scores tillage.
A lot of guides out there talk about sticking a drill on the back of your plow and watching numbers go up. But the truth is simpler and more consistent across players and testing.

How to Buy Land in Farming Simulator 22Apr 4, 2023Precision Farming doesn’t reward plowing itself with points. Instead, the game only awards tillage points based on the implement you use right before seeding.
Plowing removes the “Needs plowing” state for crops like corn or potatoes, which prevents yield penalties, but the tillage score itself comes from what you plant with.
The way it breaks down in practice goes down like this:
If you plow or subsoil the field and then use a direct seeder/planter to sow, you get the full tillage score (10 points) because direct seeding overwrites the previous soil work for scoring purposes.
If you cultivate without direct seeding, you get a smaller tillage score (around 5 points).
Tillage scoring doesn’t retroactively add points for the effort you put into plowing itself. What matters is what the Precision Farming system sees under the seed row at the moment of planting.
This means that the fastest way to max your tillage score after plowing is to simply use a direct seeder/planter right after plowing so the game records the seed job as the last soil interaction.
This means you don’t have to attach the seeder to the plow while turning. Instead, you just need to ride over the field with the direct seed implement after the plow work is done.
Personal Observations While Playing
Personally, I’ve seen this mechanic in action again and again on my Precision Farming saves.
Plowing doesn’t show up in the score at all, but as soon as I roll over the field with a direct seeder, the tillage score jumps to the max.
It feels weird at first because you put all this tractor time into turning the soil and nothing shows on the score sheet until the seeds go down.
This approach also means you don’t need to chase weird “plow-plus-drill at once” combos to trick the game.
Just plow when you need to, then direct seed straight onto that soil texture and you’ll have the highest tillage score possible for that field in Precision Farming.
