    The humans blocked out the sun, and probably dashed all other power sources available to the Machines. What you have left are self-replicating humans. Makes sense to keep them alive and farm them just enough to tide you over before their next breeding cycle

      How do you farm anything without the sun?

          That takes a ton of electricity. How do you power the indoor farms?

            Well they scorched the sky which created lots of wind and lightning storms. Maybe they harnessed those sources, or this being the future, used the scant antimatter generated from each strike?

              So they do have energy sources after all! So tell me again why do they need to farm humans?
