For example, processing a silver quality Pumpkin is more profitable (per time spent) than processing a normal quality Melon, but processing a gold quality pumpkin is less profitable then either. Processing Starfruit always generates profit faster than Hops, regardless of crop quality, but normal or silver quality hops generate profit faster than gold quality Ancient Fruit. All cases are considered below. Coffee yields the highest raw profit, but due to its short processing time, it requires significantly more labor than other crops.

The rate of productivity of a keg is: <code>([Sell Price of Artisan Good] - [Sell Price of Input Produce]) / [Processing Time]</code><ref name="timing caveat">Caveat: presumably, Artisan Goods that complete processing during the night incur "wasted" time until morning, when the player can refill the Keg. This potentially undermines the practical productivity rates of Coffee, Beer, and Pale Ale, which require more frequent refills and are more likely to be delayed by finishing at night.</ref>

These values do not take into account the effects of Tiller or Artisan [[Farming#Farming Skill|professions]], which reduce and increase the profit from a keg, respectively.
