- Most people try to make too many things. Focus on one or two items to bake at one time. Choose two that share ingredients. That way, if you harvest more than you need, you can use those bushels for good #2. - "Use" bushels when you harvest EVERY TIME you harvest, so you get double credit towards mastery. The higher the mastery, the more bushels you find when you find bushels. - Master all of your crops that you use in your bakery. Usually, getting the One Star Mastery is pretty easy. Doing this DOUBLES the number of bushels you will find. - Plant full fields of crops that you need. Don't plant 4 different crops at one time. That way, when you "use" bushels, it costs you less bushels per crop harvested. Example: If you have 400 total plots, plant 400 of one crop and use one bushel before you harvest, you use one bushel per field. If you plant 100 of 4 different crops and use one bushel before you harvest each crop, you use four bushels per field. You wouldn't "use" one bushel to harvest one plot, would you? The cost would be prohibative. - MAKE SURE you know what is in your Market Inventory BEFORE you harvest. Once your Market Inventory reaches 100 bushels, NO MORE bushels, no matter how many you find, will be added to your Inventory.

Example: You've planted 400 strawberry and are about to harvest. You check your Market Inventory and see that you have 53 bushels total. You have a 3 Star Strawberry Mastery, so when you find bushels when you harvest, you'll get 4 strawberry bushels. Now do the math: Using a strawberry bushel before you harvest gives you 400 XP and reduces your Market Inventory to 52 bushels. This gives you room to find 48 bushels.

Now, instead of this, say you have the same 400 Strawberry plots ready to harvest, you check your Market Inventory, and you find that you have 97 total bushels, and you use the 1 strawberry bushel that you have in Inventory. In this scenario, when you 48 bushels while harvesting and look into your Bakery, you'll find that you only have FOUR strawberry bushels to make goods from. What? What happened? I had 400 plots planted and I only got 4! Well, you had 96 bushels when you started harvesting. You find strawberry bushels, so now you have 100 bushels. You find more strawberry bushels, but you still have 100 bushels total (and 4 strawberry bushels.) You find more bushels ... and more bushels ... and you still only have 100 bushels in Inventory and only 4 of those are strawberry.

You get a bright idea: Buy another Market Stall. This will give me 200 inventory, right? WRONG! You can own 1000 Market Stalls and your total market inventory will still only be 100 bushels. Sorry.

I hope this information helps you make more things in your bakery.
