Eh, natural resources are far easier to extract from asteroids and moons than to haul out the gravity well of the biggest rocky planet in the area. And they wouldn’t have to mess with the nasty apes for any of them.
The only interesting thing on earth is life itself, as well as intelligent life and its culture. Literally everything else can be found everywhere else
Why would they farm on alien soil? That sounds like a terrible idea. Just make space bases dedicated for farming
No, they’d just use earth for scientific reasons, exploring and cataloguing our life. And perhaps maybe for artistic/cultural reasons, enrichment basically
Regardless, there are far more resources much easier to obtain in deep space than we have down here. That doesn’t change even if gravity is less of an obstacle to them.

Escaping the gravity well is difficult for us. They can travel who knows how far or how fast. The gravity might be of little importance to them.
