Sources of Yield

Not all yields and farms are created the same. Knowing this, how would one differentiate good yield from the bad? How do you know if the yield farm you are in is bountiful like the former picture below, or if the farm token price prints the latter^[1], like the fate of many high-yielding predecessors before it? To understand the quality of the crops (yields), we have to examine the different seeds (sources) that make up the farm.
