a) Each * level of crop mastery is another bushel _when you find bushels at all_. So say you roll whatever lucky number means "I get a bushel from this harvest". You get 1 (no stars) to 4 (mastered) bushels from that result.

b) The stall stays open longer based on star level as well. I believe it's 48 hours when you have the crop mastered.

the big bonus for mastering crops is the occasional XP drop, of course, but the bushel bonuses help with crafting.
