Use a Swather

Swathing is a process where you harvest and group crops with a special machine called a Swather, following which you use a harvester with a special header to collect it.

Managing your crops

It's important to note that the selling price for all crops depends on their condition. So, take care of them beforehand to achieve a spotless yield. That means using fertilizers whenever you can, removing stones from the land, planting and harvesting them in the right season, etc.
