Crop Circles Cause Financial Losses for English Farmers

Between 2018 and 2022, 92 crop circles appeared in English fields, impacting around 40 soccer fields worth of crops. This resulted in significant financial losses for farmers, with the wheat and barley loss amounting to 300,000 loaves of bread, and the flattened rapeseed potentially producing 600 liters of canola oil. The crop circles also caused harvesting difficulties, as the wheat within 15 centimeters of the ground could not be harvested due to the risk of damaging the machinery. Sightseers further exacerbated the problem by trampling on the crops. Some farmers expressed frustration and loss, as these incidents impacted the fruits of their labor.
