Fall crop planning is easiest when you separate three questions: how long a crop takes to reach its first harvest, whether it regrows, and how many days remain before the season ends.
Start with the calendar
Every normal season lasts 28 days. Before planting a large field, check the current day and count forward to the first harvest. A crop that looks profitable on day 1 may be a poor choice if planted too late.
Regrow versus single harvest
Regrowing crops become more useful when planted early enough to produce multiple harvests. Single-harvest crops are easier to reason about late in the season because you only need enough time for one complete growth cycle.
Farm capacity matters
Profit is not the only constraint. Watering time, sprinkler coverage, seed cost and how often you want to harvest can all change which crop is practical for your farm.
Fall planning note
Fall has a hard deadline before winter for normal outdoor crops. Late-season planting should focus first on whether the crop can finish at all, then on profit.
Use the calculator
Enter the current day and growth time in the Crop Planner to check whether the first harvest fits before day 28 and, for regrowing crops, estimate how many harvests remain.
