I came across the fix by complete accident due to my violent outbreak in game after trying to fix it. Here's what you have to do:
1. Get a Flamer
2. Burn the crops so that they are all destroyed
3. Go into building menu and repair the crops ONE AT A TIME, and after you repair one crop, remove it before moving on to the next one. Sometimes the hit box for the crop will be far off to the side, so move your mouse around the crop until you can select it. Keep in mind that the hit box may be on the other side of your garden, so it may take some patience to find it.
Also, it will take one crop to repair a crop.
I finally heeded Strong's advice and smash things that I don't like or understand, and look where it's gotten me. Hope this helps, especially those on console.
