Farmer
I wonder if there will be adjustment for the new Beach farm. I guess there won't be many adjustment for spring but having only max. 200 tiles for harvesting is something else.
You can have lots of fish ponds, animals and you can greatly increase your crop area with deluxe retaining soil, and there is always ginger.

Spring 26(Year 1) After buying 2170 DSG I had a problem with planning and execution: I constantly ran out of fiber for scarecrows, and placing them was a chore. Eventually I chose to put all "one row" scarecrows in one line to facilitate the process. Day 25 was my last SC dive and I started Day 26 with no cash but planting over 2 000 linger crops can't be done in a single day, not even 2 days, so I had to go to blacksmith and sell about 30 iridium bars to get parsnips. Selling kale wasn't an option since I still didn't have the tiller perk. With this in mind I got some money as well as coal (in theory 250 pieces I had should be enough but then I realised I had over 1400 iridium ores to smelt). Once I was done at Pierre's, I immediately tp to the farm and started hoeing 15 widest rows of the map. There was some debris there I couldn't clear because I was upgrading axe to steel but in the end I managed do get things done. That is, until I realised it'd be convenient for me to open all geodes and treasure troves on that day, so I restarted a couple of times before I had a semi-optimal day. Also planted all ancient seeds then: 7 total +1 I planted before that. Had 30 furnaces on that morning and made 3 extra ones. Turned out to be very useful. Used crab cakes for speed boost for the whole day. Went to Desert Trader to get more treasure troves and cheese (checked stardew tracker as well)
Day 27: Smelting iridium, clearing the farm, planting parsnips, getting all fiber possible on the farm. Ended up with 9 scarecrows on that day. 6 short. Used the shroom machine twice late Spring I think. Also, decided to put parsnip everywhere I could - it was more beneficial to do so than to hoe every third row just because quality sprinklers were to go there. I believe I put over 2100 parsnips into the ground (total on the following day)

Day 28: Same as Day 27, only difference was shipping most of what I had. Experimented with bombing trees but in the end I chose not to because I didn't have magnet ring. Went to Cindersap forest for more fiber and made 3 extra scarecrows. Iridium bars fetched me about 650k, and the rest was slightly over 150k so I started Summer with 800k on hand. Got the recipe as well.

Summer Day 1: Started with crab cakes and scything everything. Finished slightly before 11am and then went for Starfruit. Bought 2005 SF total, and planted about 1550 of them on that day (all had DSG)

Summer Day 2: Planted the rest of the fruit, started with the columns that neighboured quality sprinklers (I didn't have time nor resources to make them but after scything I could easily avoid planting SF in sprinkler rows.) I also got last 33 iridium bars but I didn't sell them to buy more SF as I was running low on time and tilled soil. In the end I managed to plant 2001 starfruit seeds. On both day 1 and 2 of summer. As I had 10 rain totems I used one on summer day 1 and 2.

EDIT: the in-game screenshots show Day 1 and 2 of Summer Y1, and the cropped pic is my character on Summer Day 1
