Default trees and brushes which resist chemicals
In article ,
says...
Since 'your' farmer is using noxious chemicals, I assume he's not
keeping cattle or other livestock(?)

so you could try Yew (Taxus
baccata) nearest his land. (Yew is poisonous, so you ought not to use it
near livestock).

That is extremely poor advice IMO. No farmer is going to welcome the
planting of a yew hedge on his boundary.

In later years the neighbour (or a different owner) may plant some crop
where livestock are turned in to forage the leftovers; or rotate the
land use to grazing pasture which he rents out.
