The most obvious is that many of the farming machinery, such as tractors run off of diesel or gasoline, which are refined products of crude oil. Many if not most of the lubricants (oil and/or grease) used on machinery have a petrochemical base, as well.
Indirectly a farm needs electricity, and oil may be used in the production of energy.
Finally, crude oil is used in the production of petrochemicals, which are used in some (but not all) insecticides. There has been a growing concern that the use of the petrochemical based pesticides poses a health risk, so many areas are banning them, particularly restricting their sale to residents. Farmers may prefer petrochemical based pesticides because of their effectiveness and cost.
See links. Other links related to insecticides can be found on the internet. Benzene or compounds which include forms of benzene are often criticized for health reasons.
