On the other hand, If we had the same knowledge and tools/treatments that
we do now, I would have to so yes, things would be different.  While
non-chemical approaches may be impractical for large operations, the
available options could be rotated, extending the time before resistance
builds.  Add even some limited IPM in the large operations and things may
have been different today.  But then hindsight is 20-20.
