> many of the chemicals approved for organic crops are even worse

Could you name even one organic implement that is “worse” than the conventional alternative?

It's hard to say "worse", but for a lot of organic alternatives the problem is "more"--it requires significantly more applications/frequencies than synthetic alternatives. This can contribute to run off and groundwater contamination.

More than straight up synthetic nitrogen fertilizer? Or any of the many other commonly used inputs that stick around for way longer than the organic alternatives?

You sound like you’re not convinced that I actually do this for a living, and continue to make up a reality that suits your preconceptions.

Can you name one example though? It's so hard to get information on this topic that isn't filtered through BigAg or other large interests

As long as the bacteria gets washed off that's fine.
