Stardew Valley: Should You Choose Rancher Or Tiller?

One of the earliest and most impactful choices players will make in Stardew Valley is the one between Rancher and Tiller. The decision is made as soon as the player reaches level five in farming, and greatly affects their gameplay going forward. Ranchers are more focused on raising animals, while Tillers prefer to grow crops. Either choice grants players some bonuses to their selected profession, making it easier to produce goods and earn profits on items in each category. At level ten, players get to choose a specialization (or subclass) to further focus their farming efforts.
