What's up with all the product tables on every crop page?

If I go to the goat feed page, I can read everything about goat feed. Why does it need to be available on the wheat, corn and carrot pages as well?

Can anybody explain to me how that's useful?

I'll explain how it's not:

User point of view 1:  When I want to read about wheat, I don't need to see the level, xp, price, duration, ingredient and product building of every darn product I can make with wheat. That info is already where it belongs, on the pages of all the individual products. One click away! If I want to see information about bread, I'll go to the bread page. And now I need to scroll pages of information that I couldn't care less about while reading about wheat, before I can read on about wheat!

User point of view 2:  Lines of text wrap and are still readable, tables not. When I want to read the Use section of the wheat page, I now have to scroll down beyond the end of the infobox because the table is so wide it won't fit next to the infobox, unless I put my browser in full screen mode on a 20+ inch screen. From talking to other people, I got the idea that I'm in a minority, playing Hay Day while sitting in front of my pc with a huge screen. Most other people will access the wiki from their phones and tablets.

Editor point of view:  Redundancy is baaaad mkay, it often leads to a maintenance nightmare. Even more so because we are at the mercy of Supercell. Example: If Supercell decides to change the price of goat feed, we now have to edit at least 4 pages, instead of just 1. It's over-edited.

I'd suggest to remove the clutter and go back to a simple list of products.
