Pesticides are the business model. These crops are being developed by companies like Monsanto, which make and sell the pesticides farmers use. They then turn around and sell the pesticide-resistant corn seed (or wheat seed, or oilseed, or what have you). So you, the farmer, have to buy both the pesticide and the resistant crops every cycle. You're locked into the ecosystem. Pesticides will be the focus until some agribusiness company finds a more profitable model, or until this model is somehow regulated.
