Why do farmers destroy their crops when weather conditions are bad? Why bother going through the trouble? Why not just let them grow and get at least some harvest?

I think this question, with no offense to OP, highlights a very widely held misconception that farming is just large-scale gardening for profit… which it’s just not.
Being a successful farmer now requires in-depth understanding of plant biology, soil chemistry, commodity market prediction, storage engineering, and equipment maintenance, etc.
These aren’t “simple farmers”, they’re agricultural engineers.
