Top Picks (21 Days Left)
Blueberry
Still one of the best Summer Day 7 choices because regrow cycles can compound across the remaining 21-day window.
Corn
Strong practical pick when you also want Fall carry-over value, not just Summer-only optimization.
Melon
Good medium-risk route if you want bigger single harvest value and simpler field rhythm.
Hops
High touch but high return if you can maintain daily harvest cadence.
