Whether spending time and fuel on harvesting a very marginal crop or spending it turning over the ground to bury the poor yield, it’s more cost effective to just prep the ground for next year. Especially given that major farmers have insurance and if they are paid out, they wouldn’t be able to pick any of it. Rather get a full payout instead of putting in work and getting a partial payment.
