I will agree with you that its indefensible to walk past a no-trespassing sign, or hop a fence (to which the intent of the fence is obvious). The world would be a better place if everyone minded their P's & Q's. Agreed.
But I notice that you seem to exempt land where no such signs or fences exist. That describes 95% of the lettuce/leaf crop ag fields around my city. Ie.: You'd have to try hard to enter in such a way as to see any sign. Eg.: The obligatory small print placard at the dirt road entrances. Or put another way : As innocuous as the short-cut paths we're discussing .
And I agree that if the "owner doesn't seem to care", then ... gee.... the owner doesn't seem to care. Hhhhmmm
Ok, great ! I think we can compromise there. Good discussion !

.... I think it's a fair assessment on your part to assume that the owner doesn't really care
And I agree that if the "owner doesn't seem to care", then ... gee.... the owner doesn't seem to care. Hhhhmmm
.... then maybe you might have a slim chance of detecting on it without any repercussions
