Is there a real use for soil tilling?

See topic. IMO it's a time consuming uninspired minigame. Instead of playing it over and over i just placed more crop plots. I'm on PVE. Is there any real use for soil tiling?

At the begining of Atlas, crops were slow to grow and produced very little.

Having a stout shovel and great skill at farming was a great boon if wanted to be self sufficient and not live as a hunter / gatherer.

Nowadays however all you need is the skill to make a crop plot and your crops grow super fast and in great quantities, so very little skill and no effort required.

Ah! The luxuries of the modern era.

Only when you need a bit more output from your crops or when you first plant them and need to get over the initial growth time.
