Increase farming stat. Generally you need to have more than the crop has qualities (each dimension considered separately, of course) to see an uptick.

In case you don't remember (or didn't know) the old formula, the Q of the crop was Current Q +/- 5 and then softcapped by the farming skill (average of Farming and Q). The random ranged was decreased if you were on soil Q lower than the crop Q to +2 / -5.

Jury is out on specific mechanic changes so far unless jorb wishes to enlighten us. Everyone, please post what was planted compared to what was harvested. Just make sure that farming skill is up above the expected crop Q with that +5 range increase being factored in for now just so we can eliminate it as a possibility as a cap.

Yeah, maybe I'm getting RNGed but my farming is also 17 and I am seeing similar results with q10 soil, and similar starting quality plants.

I'm almost certain I harvested something and it got a +9 on one of the stats. They might have made the formula a bit more generous so people can raise multiple stats at once without too much headache.

Definitely within the realm of possibilities since all three stats have direct effects on food.
