More to organic farming than I thought?

First I have nothing against organic farming as they must be better managers than me to make it work.This post is not trying to start a fight just a thought as was mowing hay this evening.We planned to put in a new waterway this spring but got behind and did not get it seeded.I planted the corn and bean strips strait thru without raising the planter and when I sprayed I stopped the sprayer several feet on each side of where I wanted making a skip about 25 ft. wide that I hoped to seed.Corn went in May 19 and beans May 26.The beans had a preemergence spray + roundup and the corn was sprayed when about 4-6 inches with Hornet,Harness,atrizine,banvel and crop oil(It was a very hot load but the feild was conventional corn and the weeds were coming)Driving past this feild tonight you can see a huge difference in the corn and the beans in the unplanted waterway.The corn is taller with wider leaves and the beans are much bigger.Do I have a point? I am not sure just something I noticed while on the tractor.Without cultivation the end result might be nothing but weeds.I am not ready to stop spraying but maybe organic farmers have a few more benifits than I thought.
