What crops are the most profitable in fall?

[Lucy]

I am getting close to fall on year 2, I'm such a noob and dont know what gold per day is or that technical stuff. Please tell me what crops are good or what gold per day means :)
EDIT - I have 2 sprinkler farms which have storage for 165 crops each, and i'd prefer to have one of them for single harvest crops and the other for multi harvest crops :))))))

OK. I would normally suggest Pumpkins and cranberries and process the pumpkins into pickles or juice.

I'd also process the cranberries back into seeds

Gold per day isn't super important with this setup over gold per season. you'll get two harvests of pumpkins at 165 which if you turn into pickles which would be 285780 profit after the cost of seeds.

10 preserve jars would finish some time in spring. You could buy more preserve jar ingredients with your profits to speed this along.

cranberries would yield 5 harvests of 2 berries, per plant which sell for 75 each 1500 total. per plant

seeds sell for 60 each, so you'd get about 40 seeds per plant or 2400 each. 356,400 as well as having plenty of seeds for next year. finishes processing quicker too.

Wow, thank you so much! This will be super helpful :D

Also what difference will it make if i dont process the seeds back?

Yeah, in autumn, Cranberries planted on the 1st day read as having the best "gold per day", but it's not so simple because you can process things.

One unit of Cranberries will sell for 82g, 102g or 123g depending on quality. Turning them into Jelly or Wine would increase that to 280g or 315g respectively, but since you get so many Cranberries, it would take a hojillion Jars or Kegs to process it all.

A Seed Maker works very quickly (you'd still need many if you don't want to spend your day in front of it), and on average it would turn one unit of Cranberries into 120g's worth of seeds, increasing the value of no-quality and silver-quality Cranberries by a semi-decent amount.

I don't like Cranberries very much.

Pumpkins are simpler. They come in much smaller numbers, so you can reasonably process all of them, increasing each Pumpkin's value to 966g or 1,008g (Jar/Keg). Two batches of Pumpkins is a very nice option.

Artichokes aren't quite as good as Pumpkins, and the seeds are annoying to get in the first year, but they do yield gold days earlier if you can't wait for your batch of Pumpkins to grow fully. Interestingly, because their base value isn't that high, they're worth more Pickled (518g) than Juiced (504g).

In autumn, I mainly do Pumpkins.

Okay, thank you! I'm not sure on the seed thing ( Actually i havent even crafted a seed maker ) But do you need to make seeds for the next season to increase profit or? Cant you buy them still or does it just save money?

Cranberry Seeds are very expensive (240g each), so yes, if you plan on planting more the next year, a single 82g unit of Cranberries processed in the Seed Maker would save you 480g's worth of seeds on average.

That's assuming you don't have anything better to do with the 82g, of course. If you could use that gold to fund lucrative spring/summer activities that you otherwise couldn't, then you might just be able to turn that 82g into more than 480g before your second autumn. But normally you don't have that kind of issue in year 2 unless you were extremely inefficient in year 1.

Pumpkins and Cranberries are good. I also like doing wheat - the seeds are pretty cheap and it only takes four days to grow, so you can easily do multiple bunches in one season.
