Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone has committed to drip-feeding a daily stream of individual patch notes in the days leading up to update 1.6's March 19 launch, and today's drop validates the long-standing conspiracy theory that it's actually faster to harvest crops from left to right.

Well, today, Barone confirmed that to be true, said it's just a bug, and revealed a fix is on the way in update 1.6.
