Here’s what not to do. Don’t waste your money on the infertile fields. Buy only the best when it comes to the fields. To start, I recommend buying three stalls (12m) with wood chip bedding, and three small fertile fields (3 acres). This will get you through the first growing season with two fields to get some cash and be able to have one set up for your pasture. The fields lose fertility as they are used, so one of the first purchases once you have generated more cash will be more fertile fields so that you can start rotating them into fallow. This method will leave you with enough reserve to buy seeds, fertilizer, and pesticide for the first two growing seasons and, if you choose, a couple of boxes for your horses with bedding. This will also leave you with enough reserve for contingency. You could get away with buying four fields, depending on when you get to form your EC. If you are fortunate to start one at the beginning of summer when you can grow turnips, buy four and grow turnips. They are the cash crop and will net you the most to get started.

Starting In The Spring/Summer:
If you're starting your EC in the spring/summer (howrse seasons), I'd reccomend buying some non-fertile fields (get them as big as possible, 15 acre if possible), then buy turnip seeds, pesticide (100 equus stuff) and fertilizer (as expensive as you can afford). Plant your crops, and just sit back and relax. Turnips sell for a LOT of money, so you can start your EC off with more money when you actually get boxes and stuff. When you go to harvest your turnips, wait until they sell for at least 60.00 equus each. You might have to wait, but I harvest 48 acres of turnips for about 63 each, and I got 100 000 from it. I've sold them for over 70 equus each before. If it's autumn already, start buying your boxes (12 m ones with flax bedding, and some fertile fields, ditch the infertile ones now, they'll bring down your prestige), and a greenhouse if you can afford it to keep planting crops throughout the winter. If it's still summer, quickly plant another batch of turnips in all your fields, and watch the money pour in!
