There are a number of possible reasons. In some areas, organically grown produce can bring a premium price that may bring the farmer higher profit. The farmer may have made the choice to produce organically because of a personally held belief that it's better for the soil. The farm might be in an area that has had regulations put in place that prevent any other kind of farming. There are lots of others.

How do farmers decide which crops to grow?
A farmer will decide what crop to go based on where they live (topography, climate, soil), what the future markets may be for a particular crop, what to grow the crop for, how much should be grown, and whether the equipment that farmer has is sufficient to grow that crop. A farmer will usually grow what is in highest demand for their markets and location, what is most commonly grown in his/her area, and/or what they have grown in the past. For instance, a farmer that has grown corn the year before might decide to grow corn again. Or, if the soil is depleted in nutrient sources, the farmer may decide to utilize crop rotation and grow soybeans instead.
