Everybody was focused on curing the black death that the crops were left to die in the fields. Everyone thought they were going to die and the world would end so crops and livestock were left to die whilst everyone else lived each day like it was their last - they did whatever took their fancy and spent most of their time drunk to forget the 'curse'.

More:

The Black Death killed a lot of serfs, and a lot of lords found they did not have enough workers to take care of their fields. This put a high value on the serfs, and many landlords tempted serfs from other manors by offering them better deals. This was one of the things that caused a movement away from serfdom and toward tenant farming.
