Yeah he's (or she's) right. The chemicals are put there to protect the plants and help them grow faster, making things less expensive for you, the consumer. They are highly regulated too.
Take it from a farmer, you can't so much as open a container of those chemicals and sneeze without a regulator handing you a tissue, you can't order or name said chemicals without a background check and surprise inspections at least once a month and just because the people applying those chemicals are wearing personal protective equipment (ppe for short) doesn't mean much, most makeup and hairspray have worse chemicals in them! Granted the chemicals can cause irritation if exposed to but not much worse than your average seasonal allergy.
Take it from another farmer, organic doesn't mean 'no chemicals', organic food gets sprayed with chemicals that are made from 'natural' chemicals, not refined tested synthetic ones. The 'natural' chemicals also happen to be worse than the synthetic ones, and are quite often carcinogenic. So don't try to ruin conventional farmers over some propaganda bullshit on the internet.
You wouldn't want to come into contact with concentrated vitamins either. Men shouldn't contact estrogen that women take, and women are warned against handling broken pills for men's hair loss. Hell--You don't want to be exposed to or breathe liquified manure, which is 100% natural, and often sprayed on crops. You DO wash your produce, don't you?
