Hi,
When I was growing up in Pennsylvania, the farmers had a saying about corn; "knee high by the 4th of July." Knee high corn would provide zero protection. Corn in September, however, would provide concealment, as it would be five or six feet high.
I didn't know they even grew wheat in Pennsylvania except for that wheatfield at Gettysburg. I don't recall any in northeast Pa.
But ultimately the designer, Doug Strickler, will have to enlighten you, as only he can say why the terrain is what it is.
I take issue with a lot of decisions Doug made, but they deal mostly with troop and leader quality and small arms supply. I never noticed the lack of fields before. Very perceptive of you.
