What does leveling a crop/tree do?

[Keen]

So I have been playing this game for a LONG time, and I took a break from it due to some bugs that were, well, bugging me XD I came back and now those bugs are gone and there are great new features, like your tractor being able to jump a fence! You may laugh but that was annoying to work around before lmao

anyway I seem to remember that leveling up your crops and trees actually did something, such as increasing the amount you could sell them for, but now nothing happens. The only thing I can see mentioning it is that you have a slightly higher chance of gold nuggets the higher level the crop is.

So other than the almost useless nuggets, what is the point of leveling your crops and trees?

Harvest income still increases by leveling items, however it may be lower than the last time you played the game (the increase was way too much for some crops and animals, which didn't help to the loads of money people were earning).

Depending on the tree/crop the change may not be noticeable right away, as it's around ~1% extra income per level, so for example Apple trees will only increase after ~10 level ups, and for money trees it's even higher.

You also have to level certain crops/trees to unlock other crops/trees

Mine isnt changing at all though. The price is exactly the same now as it was when I first started planting them. I will double check again, but unless I am just blind it hasnt changed.


EDIT
Okay so I went and made a new farm, and checked some prices, then went back into my level 20+ farm. The lettuce is only making 1 extra gold and the carrots are only making 3 extra gold at level 17 each... thats so insignificant its pretty much worthless. Whats the point?

A good use for lettuce is to have them in the vacinity of veg eating critters, eg rabbits.
Put them on sprinklers, grow time is 10mins down to 5mins.

Good backup ro fill the feeders if your inventory is empty.

For lower level crops, yeah, the leveling up doesn't help much. But for higher level crops, it does help.

Hmm okay. Seems like the money would be more useful in the early game than the late game, but it is what it is XD

It helps in middle game too. For example, when I could afford Artichokes, I'd plant those whenever i could. The level racked up so my profit each time was more so I could plant more, etc.

It's harder to work out whats the best crop to plant for income at any given time since its always changing. At the moment I am planting Yellow Zucchini while im actively playing, and usually beets or sunflowers if I am going to be off for a few hours.
