Farmers put fences around their land to keep thieves and animals out. They put nets over blueberry bushes to keep birds from eating them. They shoot squirrels to protect pecan trees so they can harvest a crop and not have their pecans eaten by animals. They try to harvest wheat as soon as it is ripe so a lightning strike does not set it afire and burn up the crop or a hail storm does not beat it into the ground.
