crop damage
Ruined field yield
Crop damage refers to harm or destruction inflicted on agricultural plants, reducing their yield or value.
Common causes include severe weather events like hail, frost, or drought, as well as pests, disease, and wildlife.
Insurance claims and agricultural reports frequently document crop damage to assess losses: The late frost caused extensive crop damage across the valley.
The term also appears in discussions of environmental policy and compensation for farmers affected by flooding or animal incursions.
