The primary reason is the farmers may run cattle on the land during
off-years when they aren't planting corn or beans on that specific plot.
It's easier to just leave the fences in place than to run new posts and
electrified line.

A typical rotation is to run beans year one, corn years two and three, hay
year four and then repeat the rotation.
