It gets rid of pests, prevents disease and mold from the previous harvest, and returns some nutrients back to the soil quicker....

All that organic matter from the previous video doesn't break down fast enough, this helps it along.

Tricky slope if not regulated well, like in India every farmer in the North does this and they up creating a gas chamber for a few months. Regulation of it has become highly political because that's the majority of voters. So now we just live with extremely bad pollution as part of life.
