Quick Answer
Plan crops by season and by planting day, not by sell price alone. The current 1.0 crop reference models a 28-day season and tracks growth time, regrowth, seed cost, harvest count, and total seasonal revenue. Early on, favor a manageable crop block and preserve time for town progress, mining, and relationships.
Key Information
- The fan crop planner lists 35 crops and compares growth, regrowth, seed costs, and seasonal totals.
- It treats a season as 28 days and flags crops that cannot ripen before the season turns.
- Re-growing crops can be strong on early planting days but lose value when planted late.
- Farming pages should separate raw crop profit from stamina, watering time, cooking uses, gifts, and quests.
Details
Fields of Mistria farming decisions are timing decisions. A crop with a high per-item sell value may be worse than a faster crop or a regrower if it is planted late. The current version-1.0 crop planner uses a 28-day season and calculates harvests, total revenue, seed cost, and profit from a selected planting day. That is the right calculation model for a guide page.
Keep the first crop plot small enough that watering does not consume the whole morning. Expand when tools, spells, or routine improvements make the work comfortable. Use high-value crops as one component of a mixed plan: retain some produce for cooking, villager gifts, requests, and collection needs. A pure profit chart is helpful, but it should say whether it assumes perfect planting, daily care, and no processing.
The page should include a season selector, late-planting calculator, and a separate section for recurring harvests. Avoid making a permanent 'best crop' claim because balance, recipe demand, player perks, and patch changes can move the answer.

Official / Steam Findings
NPC Studio positions farming as a core game system, but the exact crop economics used here come from an unofficial, version-labelled planner rather than a complete official table.
