How to plan crops to spread out my income through the year for steady cash?

If you depend on farming for regular expenses, plan crops so harvests and income come at different times rather than all at once, which steadies your cash flow. Do this in a few ways. Grow crops of different durations so a quick crop pays the bills while a longer crop matures. Stagger sowing of the same crop in small lots a couple of weeks apart so you harvest and sell over several weeks instead of one big glut, which also gets you a better average price. Combine a long term earner like a fruit plot or a dairy animal with seasonal field and vegetable crops for in between income. Add a quick zaid crop to fill the summer gap. The aim is to never have a long stretch with no income and no big single harvest that floods the market and crashes your price. The trade off is more planning and continuous work through the year. Map out when each crop will give money and arrange them to cover your regular needs, and confirm durations and market timing for your crops with your KVK.
