Perhaps I wasn't succinct enough in my statement. The point is any organic farmer worth their salt and not one that still engages in intensive agriculture (uses anything OMRI deems "safe" and calls it organic), who practices crop rotation and general sustainability practices uses little or no pesticide and problems are either prevented by controls such as floating row cover and companion crops or there is the use of biological controls such as lady bugs, lacewings and other non-invasive predatory species. I never claimed that all the products OMRI labels as "organic" are safe or even should be used. Joel Salatin's farm is a great example of how biodiversity and other important factors can be maintained in an organic farm without the use of harmful chemicals. You're generalizing the statement to include all so called "organic" products. Not everyone uses those chemicals and furthermore, most organic farms do their research before they spray anything.I don't know of any farmer who spends his or her money or stays awake nights dreaming about spraying expensive crop inputs if it is not necessary. So no farmer either Organic or Non-organic is going to spray anything unless it is necessary. You seem to be saying the exact opposite.
