I saw a documentary where soldiers in Afghanistan hunted Taliban, helped villages rebuild, and got farmers to snitch on bad guys. They’d find poppy fields, question farmers, often paying for intel or helping in trade.

Yep. In Afghanistan, it's a world apart, comprised of different clans who all hate and distrust each other, and each clan is broken down into different tribes who are distrustful of each other, and each tribe is broken down into families and family lines, each distrusting the others. When the US arrived, all the Afghans wanted to know is "Whose side are they on?" When the US would approach a tribe offering $$ by the truckload if they would snitch on other tribes, or better yet, on other clans, the reaction was "You're damn right we'll help you out! (just don't be looking in the general direction of our women)" The common misconception that the "Afghans" were somehow all united and HATED US personnel was very erroneous. One way to get a village to absolutely love you was to bring a few cases of bottled water to them and just join them for chai.

The Taliban forced harsh poppy quotas on these farmers, killing entire families if they failed.

Correct. This is where the misconception of the suicide bomber gets demystified. Many westerners think that Afghans have nothing better to do than to strap on explosives and to detonate themselves in public places. None suicide bomber does so willingly, i.e. they are all coerced. They are all family men who love their families, and who never want to see anything happen to any of them; nonetheless, one day they return home to find that the Taliban has kidnapped the entire family. The Taliban then gives them two options: the family can be tortured to death, or you can detonate yourself where we need, and we'll take care of your family for the rest of their lives. Everyone eventually accedes, they are provided explosive vests, taught how to use them and are then filled with a heavy dose of powerful drugs to maintain the courage and the will.

Torching fields could get a village slaughtered, so soldiers held back to protect innocents stuck between growing poppies or dying.

The US was more interested in closing out the bosses and the warlords running the overall business. Soldiers would have the farmers point them out. The US offered protection and the Afghan peasants provided invaluable intel.
