I don’t understand why they can’t just grow clones of females. They don’t want males.

fucking sexist... god man.. its 2019

A lot of growers prefer to go the regular way, where you have a 50-50 chance of being male or female. The normal variations that are found in plant genetics is MUCH greater that those found in clones or from feminized seeds. If you want all of your plants to be identical, cloning or feminized seeds are your best bet, but experimenting with males/females is where a lot of the variations come from that growers are on the lookout for.
It's a matter of preference. In nature, there is a lot of genetic crossing that occurs naturally. Farmers aren't like nature as they typically plant on strain only.

A lot of Hemp farmers jumped in last year and lost their shirts. The market was flooded, there were not enough field workers to harvest all of it and much of the Hemp rotted in the fields. On the farm in the photo and video these farmers are on their 3rd year. They planted at the first of July, some farms even later than that. They still finish at the same time but don’t get big enough that you would have to use some kind of support for the plants, and with no sticks or netting they can be harvested by machine.
How many other farmers on here have to worry about Hemp Pollen pollinating your weed?
