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?

Sometimes it makes sense to harvest what’s left, but other times it’s not worth it to harvest it and it’s just left in the field. Crops are destroyed (plowed under), which costs money, only when there’s a reason to—often it’s because it means an early start towards planting the next crop, whether it’s a cash crop (sold) or a cover crop (grown to enhance the soil).
