Typically farmers choose inorganic or conventional farming because 1) that is what they are accustomed to, and 2) cost efficiency. To be considered organic not only do you have to practice organic farming but you also have to buy a permit or license that costs quiet a bit of money. Also man made pesticides are much cheaper than the organic alternatives. Many farms are passed along through generations and have been taught by their parents or grandparents. This makes changing the identity or practices of your farm difficult because this is the way you were taught and how it has always been.
