Why these rankings change
Knowledge affects quality probabilities. Before domestication, Wild-only harvests are low value; after, Best can reach 2.0x. So the “best crop” for Summer can shift as your village progresses.
Regrow vs single-harvest
Profit/day counts how many harvests fit in your chosen window. Regrow crops often dominate short windows, while high-value single-harvest crops can win when quality scales.
Processing can flip the winner
Processed goods inherit quality. If you have stations, “best to plant” and “best to process” may differ—use the calculator to compare Δ/day.
