Spinach. "Spring and Summer are spinach seasons. In March or April, you take your seeder and put out about 10 liters of seed per hectare to look forward to a yield of about 23100 liters in return. With an average selling price of $660 per thousand liters, you need to be ready to harvest in June. Mind, that you need a specialized harvester here - the OXBO MKB-4TR.", "Sow Once, Harvest Twice. To do that, you got to sow it right in March, wait for it to mature, harvest it right away in June and watch it grow again. Doing everything right and in time, you'll see the those growth stages that slightly differ in the second cycle. As it is common among crops like spinach, the first growth stage after harvesting it the first time, appears a bit more bushy. Helps to easier keep track of all your spinach fields visually." -source Giants website blog.

Peas. "Peas are among the first crops you can plant in Spring. In March or April, you take your seeder and put out about 250 liters of seed per hectare to look forward to a yield of about 9,600 liters in return. you need to be ready to harvest in July and September at the latest. Peas can be used in production chains." -source Giants website blog.

You can grow your own rice saplings in a greenhouse that then is used to seed rice fields / rice paddys. -source youtube the farmsim guy "9 Minutes of Farming Simulator 25 - Raw Gameplay Footage".
FS25 includes 25 different crops. New crop is green beans. -source djgoham "I PLAYED FARM SIM 25 BEFORE ANYONE ELSE!".

New Crop: Green Beans -source Giants website blog.
Between April and June, it's green bean seeding time. With 280 liters of seed per hectare when spilling the beans on the field, you can expect a yield of up to 13,950 liters in return four months later.
Depending on economic difficulty, an average selling price of $2160 per thousand liters is offered after harvesting between August and November.

Rice
There are two different types - long grain rice and what we just call "rice". -source Giants website blog.
Rice and long grain rice need different water levels, machines to sow and harvest, and seeds, of course. Long grain rice isn't sown in water like the other one. Instead, the rice paddy for long grain rice gets flooded AFTER the sowing, not before.
Both types of rice are planted or sown in rice fields (also called rice paddies) - that's a special type of field deepened to allow for water retention. That's why you require open space on your land.
Via the build menu, you start the creation process. Instead of just placing down a field, you can shape it in any size or form.
Rice Greenhouses
This one is optional - you can buy saplings at the dealership. Or you build a special greenhouse dedicated to cultivating rice saplings. If your agricultural ambitions rely on increased rice production, you should look at growing them yourself.
Planting & Harvesting Rice
Here's the equipment you need to plant and harvest rice: You need a tractor, a cultivator, a specialized rice planter as well as a harvester, and a trailer. Some lime should also be in storage - but for the end of the whole process. Rice fields are pre-limed when you build them, which is why you don't need to apply it in the beginning.
Activate the water pump to flood the field, then plant the saplings. Since the rice planter will take care of fertilization, you don't need an additional fertilizer spreader like with other crops.
The pump will automatically provide the correct amount of water. Just check your water pump daily to maintain the proper level, or you will lose seedlings and yield. All the water will be soaked up by the thirsty plants by the end of the growth cycle.
When the rice is mature, harvest it and decide whether to sell it, store it, or process it into products. To grow another batch of rice, apply lime to the field and cultivate the paddy after harvesting. Lime is only needed after a few harvests. Check the field info to see if it is needed!
Sowing & Harvesting Long Grain Rice
With long grain rice, you don't need any water to sow your plant just yet. Long grain rice is sown dry. Just fill your seeder with seeds and start sowing one row after another until the whole paddy is covered.
After that, you flood the rice field and need to maintain different water levels at different growth stages. Don't worry, the pump will only allow just the right amount of water. Check your water pump daily to maintain the proper level. If you don't, you will lose some of your rice saplings.
Once the plant is ready to harvest and has consumed all the fresh, yummy water, just head over to your harvester and hop in! Your standard combine with a grain header will do the job.
Sell it, store it, or process it further at select production plants. But we're not done yet! To cultivate another batch of rice, apply lime to the field and cultivate the paddy with a cultivator.
