TIL that rotating your crops in Stardew Valley actually does matter

Honestly I thought the whole crop rotation thing was just a myth people made up to sound smart. But after year 3 in my latest farm I noticed my blueberries were giving way less per harvest than usual. I looked it up and apparently planting the same thing in the same soil drains it over time. So I swapped half my field to cranberries and the other half to pumpkins for a season. Next year my blueberries came back with full yields. Has anyone else dealt with this or am I just late to the party?

Yep, same thing happened to me with my ancient fruit. I just rotate three basic crops per field and it fixed everything.

Doubt it's that deep, pretty sure you just got unlucky RNG with your blueberry yields.
