Crop Quality decreasing as opposed to increasing

[MrCrow93]

I've been noticing lately that the Q for various crops has been decreasing one or two points every harvest. The stat that drops varies each time but it's consistent with most fast growing crops i.e. beets, carrots, flax. My farming is well above the Q of the plants being harvested and yet it drops. Any information would be greatly appreciated

each time you plant a crop a time based factor is applied of between +5 to -5 Quality per type E/S/V i suggest if you are seeing decreases you should plant one check its q against the seeds ur holding and if they go up then continue planting if not then wait 15- 30 minutes then replant again.

It's bad luck. Inspect your crops before replanting the whole field, if your dice roll is shit wait 5 hours and repeat.

Thanks for all the informative responses. I was unaware (obviously) of the -/+5 RNG. I will apply your advice next harvest!
