On the other hand I could be wrong. Hard to conceive of a value-neutral explanation that involves the meaning of the word sodom, but I think you done found it.

The only
valley of grain-producing “fields”/sidim in Canaan was the
Jezreel Valley. The Valley of “Fields”/Sidim is the Jezreel
Valley. “Sodom”, which sounds so much like sidim/“fields”,
is the “fields”/sidim city in the Jezreel Valley, namely Beth Shan.

From archaeological evidence we know there was also production of grain in
Jericho and Beida, south-east of the Dead Sea (7000-6000 BCE).
