Many farmers throughout agricultural areas of the US follow this practice.
Conservation tillage. This practice helps to protect the soil from erosion by keeping plant residue on the field surface, which can reduce runoff and improve soil health.

This practice is called no-till farming. Leaving crop stalks in the ground helps to reduce erosion by holding the soil in place, retaining moisture, and promoting soil health by adding organic matter back into the ground as the stalks decompose.
They are typically called after-stems.
Leaving plant stalks in the field to prevent erosion is called "conservation tillage" or "mulch tillage." This practice creates a protective layer that helps retain moisture, reduces soil erosion, and improves soil health by providing organic matter back into the soil.
Leaving plant stalks in the field, known as "stalk standing," can help prevent soil erosion, protect against weed growth, and provide habitat for beneficial insects. It also helps to maintain soil structure and fertility by promoting the return of organic matter to the soil as the stalks decompose.
Conservation Plowing because the farmers disterb the soil and its plant cover very little as possible. Dead weeds and stalks of the previous crops are left on the ground to help return the nutrients, retain moisture, and hold the soil in place, also preventing erosion.
The invention of the thresher revolutionized farming by significantly increasing the efficiency of separating grain from stalks and husks. This mechanization reduced the labor required for threshing, allowing farmers to process larger quantities of grain in less time. Consequently, it helped boost agricultural productivity and contributed to the rise of commercial farming, ultimately leading to increased food supply and economic growth in rural areas.
Farming was effected by aliens because aliens sent down beams creating the crop art, or the pictures in the corn stalks.
