Insects are good to agriculture because they can pollinate fruits and vegetables. Some also feed on insects who are interested in the destruction of your plants (ladybugs do this well).
Others still exterminate insects and keep insect populations on the farm in check. Some also dine on the "mighty mosquito", which (especially in Australia) is very annoying.
However, many insects are very detrimental to crop production, eating plants and vectoring fungal and bacterial diseases. Farmers always have to check their fields to see which kind of insects are "winning the battle".
