Well, if acres and acres of crops just grew to a satisfactory level on their own without any additional work and without risk of disease, there would be more farmers and cheaper food.

Farming is more involved than your typical garden bed scenario. It’s often more sensible and more cost effective to “cut your losses” than invest time and money into a failed crop.
