It's possible that copper sulfate is more dangerous than the alternatives, but there's no evidence that it's carcinogenic. Your linked article claims copper sulfate "has not been associated with cancer".

Thanks for catching; I was doing some changing of my wording and forgot to finish it before submitting my comment. I had meant to type “far more deleterious to health, if not specifically oncogenic/carcinogenic […]”

I did not mean to state copper sulfate (or any of the organic farming compounds) is cancer causing and I would f have fixed the typo if I was still within the edit window.
