farmland turns into barren soil when dug up

[Nagahiro]

I just think it would be neat. you gain nothing from digging up farmland for game balance with the farming mechanic, so you might at least recover some soil for different uses other than farming. this doesn't really matter since soil is everywhere, but I just think it's a neat trick, or for people doing an island challenge

As someone who dislikes crafting packed dirt because it isn’t a reversible change, please don’t.

Wat.

If you'd rather get nothing, just throw the barren soil out after you dig it up. I would like to at least get something back to use in other recipes.
