    With the second you are referring to more than one crop? Can you be more specific as to where you are confused? – relaxing Apr 11 '14 at 16:19

Boll weevil damage exceeds the total value of any other crops
Do you get a greater price per acre from that crop than from any other crop that you raise?

I think it would be "pedantic over-analysis" to suggest that switching crop/crops above would make any significant difference to the meaning of either sentence. But it's worth pointing out that singular is more common in most contexts.
