Oh we aren't "organic", but we will use what we need to to produce a crop. But most years around here we don't need a whole lot of stuff like fungicides. Usually just some insecticides. We have too diverse a crop most times for Herbicides (not much is still labeled for minor crops any more) other than some Round-up wipe over and between rows.
I call us "minimalists" Probably a better term would be IPM or whatever they call that now.
Actually BT is not a "chemical" It's a naturally occurring bacteria that only effects worms / caterpillars.
I agree about some of the organic stuff is as bad or worse than "chemicals" especially if not handled properly.
