I never thought of that angle.
Could it be that the farmers profit somehow from the crop circles (tourists, etc) and if a person was charged with destroying their crops it would cut into their profit?

10,000+ Crop Circles reported and next to no arrests?
This one has been bugging me for a long time, why no prosecutions? Are the farmers so wealthy they don't bother the police with these crop destructions?
This is criminal damage and trespassing on private land? but I can only find a handful of arrests via a google search
WHY?
In 1992, Hungarian youths Gábor Takács and Róbert Dallos, both then 17, were the first people to face legal action after creating a crop circle. Takács and Dallos, of the St. Stephen Agricultural Technicum, a high school in Hungary specializing in agriculture, created a 36-metre (118 ft) diameter crop circle in a wheat field near Székesfehérvár, 43 miles (69 km) southwest of Budapest, on June 8, 1992.
In 2000, Matthew Williams became the first man in the UK to be arrested for causing criminal damage after making a crop circle near Devizes.

Seems like you want to stomp over this story Troll
The crops within the crop circles that are made by aliens...
The issue is that no man-made crop circle has satisfactorily replicated the features associated with the real phenomenon, and this has baffled scientists and researchers. Crop circles are created by a force seemingly at odds with modern science. Central to the hoax argument is that a physical object is required to flatten the crop to the ground, resulting in the breaking of the plant stems. In genuine formations the stems are not broken but bent (left), normally about an inch off the ground at the plant's first node. The plants appear to be subjected to a short and intense burst of heat which softens the stems to drop just above the ground at 90�, where they reharden into their new and very permanent position without damaging the plants. Plant biologists are baffled by this phenomenon and farmers, who know how the land ticks, are baffled by this. It is the singlemost method of identifying the real phenomenon. Research and laboratory tests suggest that microwave or ultrasound may be the only method capable of producing such an effect.

Maybe it's because these are NOT all man made - time to start taking notice of these Crop (Messages) Circles Again
