Magazine: Cropping for Cash is a farming magazine about field crops. Reading it teaches the growing seasons of eight crops: Barley, Corn, Flax, Rye, Soybean, Sugar Beet, Tobacco and Wheat.
A growing season recipe is farm knowledge rather than a craft. It tells the grower how a crop behaves before the seed goes into the ground. These are the grain, fibre and cash crops of a large farm, so the magazine suits a survivor planning big fields.
The magazine belongs to the Agriculture skill. It is found in loot, most often in gun stores, hunting lodges, book stores and farm houses. Reading it also eases boredom and stress.
Uses
The eight recipes are Barley Growing Season, Corn Growing Season, Flax Growing Season, Rye Growing Season, Soybean Growing Season, Sugar Beet Growing Season, Tobacco Growing Season and Wheat Growing Season.
Once a season is known, the sowing menu shows a tooltip for that crop. It lists the water the crop needs and how many days it takes to grow. With the growing seasons option turned on, it also names the months to sow, the best months and the risky months. Watering a known crop also stops at the level that crop likes, so the soil is not flooded.
The same knowledge comes for free at Agriculture level 6. At Agriculture level 10, every growing season in the game is learned at once.
The Farmer occupation starts with all eight known. The Gardener trait covers only Corn, Soybean and Sugar Beet from this list. A Gardener still gains Barley, Flax, Rye, Tobacco and Wheat from reading it.
Like every magazine, it also counts as paper for armour. Make Magazine Body Armor takes eight magazines and four Duct Tape at Tailoring level 1. Make Magazine Limb Armor takes one magazine and two Duct Tape.

Locations
The magazine is fairly common. Magazine shelves in gun stores and hunting lodges are the likeliest spot. Book store shelves follow closely. Farm houses hold it in dressers, wardrobes and counters, and zombies dressed as farmers sometimes carry it. Garden store counters are a good place too. Ordinary bedrooms, closets, attics and bathrooms turn one up now and then.
