4 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 if plowed under too early,..../ premature plowing....
Explanation:
There may be better/more succinct ways of wording it, but this is what "Umbruch" means in this context.
Umbruch<umbrechen= to plow under
"Nachbaumöglichkeiten bei Rapsumbruch
Vor einem Umbruch sollte die Regenerationsfähigkeit des Rapses einkalkuliert werden. Nur bei weniger als 10-15 Pflanzen/m2 ist ein Umbruch sinnvoll. Geschädigte Pflanzen können bei zügiger Entwicklung noch einen schwächeren Haupttrieb ausbilden. Die Seitentriebe werden kräftiger ausgebildet und die Gesamtpflanze legt mehr Blattmasse an."

"One of the primary uses of cover crops is to increase soil fertility[...]
Often, green manure crops are grown for a specific period, and then plowed under before reaching full maturity in order to improve soil fertility and quality."

8 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1 untimely cultivation/cultivating/harrowing
Explanation:
Johanna is right here, it has to do with the cultivation, not the weather, although that also plays a part - as our farmers have been bemoaning all Summer!
