> most pesticide-laden, and most fertilizer-intensive crops
which isn't anywhere close to true. Wheat sells for $7/bushel, a bushel is 60 pounds. Corn & soy are similarly low value crops. Farmers just can't afford to put lots of pesticide and fertilizer on their crops. Fruits and some vegetables are far more valuable so spending more on inputs to increase yields makes sense.
