Fastest you've reached level 9 farming?

[NotSoSnarky]

Wanting to see how some of you do with reaching level farming 9 as fast as possible.

I've never tried to max a single skill level like that - I normally try to level them all together. Right now I'm at farming 9 in winter of year 1. But seeing how fast I can level a single skill could be a fun challenge for a different save - I'll keep that in mind!

Summer 10 1st year

Get to Farming 6 by the end of Spring, spam quality sprinklers and Starfruit with Deluxe Speed Gro

On a separate file (Beach Farm), I unlocked Ginger Island via Joja early first summer with 0 farming and then started buying iridium sprinklers from Krobus plus got some from Treasure chests and got level 9 farming sometime in the late summer with Starfruit
