How your profit is calculated
Each card is an alternative use of your budget, not a combined shopping list. Net profit is sale revenue minus seeds and the fertilizer cost you enter. Money left unspent is not profit.
Harvests, quality and processing
- Harvests must fall on or before day 28. Planting day is not a growth day. Crops are watered daily, protected from crows, and harvested and replanted promptly.
- Growth times follow the Wiki calendars for each Speed-Gro and Agriculturist combination. Speed-Gro does not shorten regrowth intervals. Unmilled Rice assumes it is not planted near water.
- Only guaranteed produce is counted: three blueberries, two cranberries, four coffee beans, and one item for other crops per harvest. Random extra produce, returned sunflower seeds and giant crops are excluded. Actual yields may be higher.
- All raw produce is regular quality. Artisan applies to eligible processed goods; Tiller is not compounded into wine or jelly prices. Coffee receives neither bonus.
- Keg, preserves and Dehydrator values assume you eventually process the harvest. They are not a promise of cash by day 28. Machines, construction materials, labor, cask aging and reinvestment are excluded.
- The Dehydrator uses five regular-quality fruits per batch and finishes the next morning. Dried Fruit sells for 7.5 × the fruit’s base price + 25g per batch. Five Grapes produce Raisins worth 600g instead. Artisan adds 40%; incomplete batches are sold raw.
- Multi-season crops may survive into the next season, but only the selected season’s harvests count here. This tool covers 42 named seed crops, plus Winter Seeds and a winter Qi Fruit scenario. Winter Seeds use a 25% expected share of each forage item, regular quality, without Gatherer or Botanist. Crocus gets Tiller; the other winter forage items do not. Crafting replacement seeds from harvested produce is not modeled. Fiber, Tea, fruit trees and other machines are outside this comparison.

Compare up to 3 crops
Raw and processed returns for the same farm size.
How Crop Compare works
Each card uses the same sprinkler coverage and assumes every planted crop reaches one guaranteed harvest. Multi-yield crops use their guaranteed output. Random bonus produce, machine costs and processing capacity are excluded.
Best Coop animals
Average daily value for one full building.
Ranking averages the four listed raw qualities and assumes mature, fed animals. Purchase costs, machine costs, friendship ramp-up and random bonus drops are excluded.
How Animal Profitability works
Each result uses 12 animals and divides sale value by the animal’s production cycle. Golden Animal Crackers double eligible produce. Pigs are shown per productive outdoor day; rain and Winter reduce their real yearly average.
Most profitable Fish Ponds
Ranked by expected Aged Roe or Caviar profit.
Roe profitability only. Rare drops and other pond products are deliberately excluded.
How Fish Pond profit is calculated
Results combine each full pond’s real daily Roe chance with its expected Roe quantity and sale value. The 1.6 extra-Roe roll is included. A Golden Animal Cracker doubles output. Artisan increases Aged Roe and Caviar by 40%.
- Ordinary Roe becomes Aged Roe in a Preserves Jar. Sturgeon Roe becomes Caviar.
- Extended Family fish are not listed separately because their pond performance matches the corresponding original legendary fish.
- Squid, Midnight Squid and Coral are excluded because their ponds do not produce Roe.
- Fish acquisition, pond construction, population quests and special non-Roe drops are outside this ranking.
