My suspicion: The crops were burned in order to force the farmers to work with the agribusiness firms' own seed. The problem being that whichever one Fornax is associated with is lacing their seed with Protozane (probably introducing genes that make the grain produce Protozane internally). When the corn gets introduced into Grimsborough's food supply, instant dream-life-caught "sheeple". And it's probably a test run for doing this to the world at large...
