The first watering can means almost 60-80 frames per square per day plus movement and re-filling. Cash gold wise, it's fewer frames per GP to grab mushrooms. If you are trying to consolated into earliest DAY, then yes, spring farming is good. If you are going for fewest frames for startup capital, you harvest in the fall, and use the sprinkler / horse in spring / summer years 2 and 3. In a TAS you WOULD overplant spring and summer crops to match movement to the shipping bin, because you can force rain RNG to completely ignore the watering can / sprinker all together. The horse is the big time saver, no need to run to the bin.

I worked on this TAS while helping a friend optimize speedrun strats and wanted to share it here in case others wanted to take it further. I believe times are accurate-ish but anyway the frame count I achieved is 7,785 for any%.
