Not really. Almost all of the ponies with fruit or plant cutie marks are Earth Ponies, so they must be good with agriculture. Also, Zecora makes potions and Granny Smith is one of the few who know the secrets of magic zap apple jam, not to mention the zap apples themselves, so maybe Earth Ponies are also skilled with magical mixtures, too. Also, to point out the obvious, Spike said in the Hearth's Warming Eve play that only the Earth Ponies could grow food, although that could have been related to the fact that they were the ponies possessing the land to grow it with. One more thing, Fluttershy is very close to nature, but her original character, named Posey, was an Earth Pony(although, Posey's special talent was supposed to be gardening, but I think they only changed it to animals, not because she was a pegasus, but so that she would not be too much like Posey, because Hasbro did not have rights to that character).
