well actually it has to do with pests. (insects, weeds and diseases like fungus and blight)
weeds reduce yields big time, unless you pull them by hand
and that costs big money
bugs eat the shit out of crops, so you need insecticides to kill them
same with diseases like fungus and blight, you need fungicides to keep in check or yields go way down
if you never have farmed or raised crops it's hard to visualize
