Has or Have been cut?

Hi. Please tell me how the verb could be "has been cut" when there seems to be more than one kind of grain noted/listed before it? I am sorry for not giving you a full sentence.

... after wheat, rice etc has been cut.

In the fragment you have given us, it seems the speaker is thinking of only one kind at a time, the way grain is normally grown: 'wheat ( or ) rice, etc'
