Cropmakers?

I don’t know what your stance is on the crop circles affaire. Some say they are alien made, some say they are natural occurrences, some say they are man-made.

A while ago it occurred to me that it is highly unlikely they are man-made, for a few simple reasons…

According to cropcirleconnector.com during 2009 we had 73 crop circles in UK alone (mostly in Wiltshire) and 46 in the rest of the world (7 in Italy, this one being especially beautiful). Most of these crops are really beatiful works of mathematical art.
If we think or a moment that YES, they are all man-made, this would mean that:

1. We need at least a designer with great visionary skills capable of coming up with around a 100 designs per year. A great artist capable not only of producing aesthetically pleasing compositions but also to often integrate mathematics in these designs.

2. We need a crew of at least 6-8 people (according to videos of manmade crops I’ve seen on the internet) equipped with appropriate tools. This crew would be most probably based in Wiltshire, I guess.

3. These people need a good cash flow to keep going with their creations during 4 months in a row. Cash is needed to pay for cars, fuel, airplane tickets for when cropping abroad, tools, food, sleeping.

4. Hence, cropmakers would need a rather good occult financial support.

5. It would be highly probable that there is more than one cropmakers crew to keep up with the amount of work done, meaning that we need a couple or maybe four designers, and 20-30 more people.

Is this possible? I don’t know, it might be, but what are the chances? To me, it sounds much more likely that crop circles are natural, caused by something we do not understand yet.
