To add to this post, it's the lightning that's zapping your crops, not the rain itself. You'll definitely want to throw down a bunch of lightning rods once you get the chance because one will only absorb one bolt of lightning and the rest will more often than not zap your crops. You'll want a bunch eventually, so start saving up those bat wings whenever you go into the cave.

Do you have any loose farm animals that can have access to your crops? They will eat it up too.

[Futa Fanatic]

your crops should have a "ripen" date, dont think rain would kill them only thing besides animals / crows is when you switch seasons

crops disappearing/turning brown? the possibilities:
1) crows
2) the spreading weeds
3) lightning storms
4) crops just randomly die

one question: do you put lightning rods and scarecrows correctly? you should keep them around your crops.

no, they eat grass and hay

I think that weeds can replace crops if the weeds thrive too much, but I'm not 100% sure about that.
Lightning rods should be far away from your crops and fruit trees, unless you want dead crops and coal growing on trees. (coal actually grows on trees struck by lightning for a short while in this game.)

You should also be careful because using the pickaxe or the axe on crops destroys them.

I fence my crops and animal differently. And i put the scarecrow on the right place, no weeds too

Wait... so no lighting rods around crops? The other guy said to place it close to my crops._.

According to wiki, "Since rods do not protect a specific area, the exact placement of a rod on the farm has no bearing on its chance to intercept a lightning strike. A Lightning Rod has a very good chance of intercepting a lightning bolt if it isn't already processing one."

Ok like red said Lighting Rod only have a chance to stop lighting. It isn't 100%. You should plant fruit trees near the crops. It is doesn't hit the rods it will hit the trees first. Also quick Question is the crops gone completely or just dead. If they are gone complete that has to be crows. Check the wiki for the area Scarecrows cover then check your fields.

"A Scarecrow will protect the surrounding circular area of 248 spaces; 8 spaces each to the north, east, south, and west, as well as 6 spaces each to the northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest. In other words, it protects a 17x17 area, excluding 10 spaces in each corner."
