What Unmilled Rice sells for
Quality changes the price: silver is worth about a quarter more than regular, gold about a half more, and iridium double. Your farming level decides how often you get each.
| Regular | Silver | Gold | Iridium | Regular with Tiller |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30g | 37g | 45g | 60g | 33g |
| Farming level | Regular | Silver | Gold | Iridium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 97.02% | 1.98% | 1% | 0% |
| 5 | 69.42% | 19.58% | 11% | 0% |
| 10 | 45.82% | 33.18% | 21% | 0% |
Iridium quality only becomes possible with Deluxe Fertilizer, which is why the chance is 0% here.
Profit per tile
This is profit for one tile planted on day 1 of the season and replanted after each harvest, sold raw, after paying for seeds. It counts every harvest that fits before the season ends.
| Planted in | Harvests | Level 0 | Level 6 | Level 10 | Rank at level 6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 3 | 26g | 36g | 86g | 14 of 15 |
Planted on day 1 of Spring, Unmilled Rice is harvested on day 9, 17, 25. Going from farming level 0 to 10 raises its profit by about 231%, mostly through better quality and extra items per harvest. It has to be replanted after every harvest, so the seed cost repeats: 120g over the season. For a different day, farming level, profession or fertilizer, use the Crop Profit Calculator.
Does fertilizer help?
| Nothing | Basic Fertilizer | Quality Fertilizer | Speed-Gro | Deluxe Speed-Gro |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 36g | -55g | -98g | -64g | -33g |
No fertilizer pays for itself on Unmilled Rice here: each bag costs more than the extra harvests or better quality bring in. Skip it and plant more tiles. Speed-Gro vs Deluxe Fertilizer explains why this is common.
Sell it raw or process it?
| Machine | Makes | Price | Days in machine | Extra gold per machine per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keg | Juice | 93g | 3.75 | 17g |
| Preserves Jar | Pickles | 154g | 2.5 | 50g |
The last column is what one machine adds per day over selling the crop raw, if it is never idle. For Unmilled Rice the better machine is the Preserves Jar (Pickles, 50g a machine-day). Preserves Jars earn more here, so keep your Kegs for crops with a higher gain. The Keg vs Preserves Jar tool splits a harvest across the machines you actually own.
