Decision rules
- If you only check once/day, prioritize total profit or net/tile—fast crops often sit ready and waste potential.
- Days remaining changes harvest count the most. Rankings can flip when you move from 7 → 14 → 28 days.
- Tiles mostly scale total profit. If you sort by per-tile metrics, changing tiles won’t change the ranking much.
- Always compare net (after seed cost), not just sell price.
