I really dont get it. im not growing anything of the same type?
Because the game engine was designed to be adversarial, and to create as much hardship as possible.

Crop diseases are real. Doesn’t matter if you have perfect rotation there’s still a chance to get them. Just like the real world. Plants growing in the ditch 20 ft away on a real farm can grow the same disease that the crop is susceptible to. Many plants are closely related and share similar diseases.
I imagine crop disease in this game mirrors real life. Where a plant is diseased, a good wind could blow that pollen or seed into a field, thus infecting the field crop.
Heck, my buddy found a super invasive plant that is only found in east asia in his small field in Iowa, USA. No idea how it got there but it did.
