A giant net and you could at least eat them after they feast on your crops:

There is no more ferocious predator than humans. If they became a delicacy all over the world they wouldn't stand a chance in hell.

According to the wikipedia article: "Locusts yield about five times more edible protein per unit of fodder than cattle, and produce lower levels of greenhouse gases in the process."

I always wondered why they're not collected and fed to chickens. Seems like a flock of fowl of any kind would gorge on these juicy bugs. Even a small inset net should harvest a good amount.

Yeah, a good source of protein, with the huge numbers a challenge would be drying and storage

You probably already have equipment to dry and store the grain.

Reuse of the same equipment to dry the insects might be doable.
