Why it Makes No Sense That Artists Are Creating All of The Crop Circles - From a UK Farming Family
I come from a farming family who are still farming in the UK, so I have some insight into the value of crops and the also the likelihood of a typical UK farmer allowing artists to destroy their crops for artistic purposes.
Crops circles have been appearing every year in the UK for decades and approximately 90% of these are in Wiltshire. The crop circles are reported to appear without the farmers knowledge or permission and are detrimental to their livelihood.
If an artist was to pay a farmer for the damaged crop for a single crop circle, depending on the size, it would cost about £1000-£2000. That is just for the damage. Farmers are quite territorial with their land, and I find it highly unlikely that a farmer would want a group of artists, whom he is not familiar with, destroying his crop on his land for the cost of the damage alone . Farmers are profit driven, so it’s likely that the cost to create one would have to be higher - possibly £1500-£3000.
There have been minimal reports of artists offering money to farmers so that they can create crop circles - the vast majority are created without consent. In fact, farmers will often have to charge an entry fee for people wishing to visit or study the crop circles just so that they can recover a small fraction of the financial loss. I read recently that in the last 10 years, it has been estimated that £1.5 million worth of damage was inflicted on farmers due to these crop circle creations.
I personally find it unlikely that independent artists would have the financial resources to create dozens of these every single year with no opportunity to profit from their anonymous artwork. It doesn’t make sense.
If, however, these crop circles are indeed created by artists without the farmers permission, they are committing criminal damage on a mass scale, every single year, FOR DECADES, without ever getting caught, charged or prosecuted. This also doesn’t make sense.
Personally, I find it unlikely that dozens of extremely large, highly geometric and symmetrical crop circles are being created by anonymous artists, at night, every single year, for no financial gain or personal fame whatsoever and at the risk of going to jail.
In my opinion, crop circles remain a mysterious phenomena and should be taken seriously. If they are a message from NHI, we should take it seriously and pay attention. If they are created by artists inflicting thousands of pounds worth of damage in multiple fields every year, the police should be taking it seriously.
