I think climate, location and weather are also going to be big factors on how much little intervention you can squeeze by - dictating either huge yield, reasonable yield, or no yield.

For example, there's no way you could get by in some of the southern states with the humidity without fungicide (organic or conventional) short of resorting to a climate controlled greenhouse.
