Due to the attack of the Black Locusts on the kingdom, Darcero Kingdom's farms suffered devastating damage that would knock most farmers off their curb due to how the locusts ate everything that they had invested in. Almost 80 percent of the crops that are supposed to be harvested by the farmers have been lost due to the incident.
The only farms that managed to remain unharmed are those that are far from the incident and have been protected fast enough by the magicians. However, 80 percent is a massive loss, and many of the farmers will suffer a lot from that setback. Unlike Elaina, who can easily purchase seeds without using real money thanks to her daily Farm Points, that is generated by the almanac, the other farmers are not as fortunate as her and have used up their money to buy seedlings, seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides that would drive away the common pests of their crops. With the attack of those insects, that money is gone forever.
