It has been and still is common for crops to be randomly blighted. There is less of it now with science but good crops require good weather even now so farmers do play the lottery every year no matter how hard they work. It's why "losing the farm" is such a common trope.

So you thank god for not ruining your crop?

That question earned you a year of blighting. Any more critical thought you would like to have?

Fasnacht starts tommorow here, that drives the blight away.
