Here nearly all ground is plowed. Most ground here is in tobacco or vegetables of one kind or another and needs cultivating. A few years ago a few farmers tried no tilling tobacco it was a complete joke. Good tobacco here will average between 2400 and 3000lbs or more per acre. The no till made a dismal 1500. Without plowing you can't cultivate and without cultivating tobacco will not do good at all. I understand that in dry country the cultivating might loose moisture and make crops suffer. I was just curious every time someone mentions plowing GordoSD seems to be down on them for plowing. He even lectured me while back about no tilling every once in a while being useless. Things from one region to another are likely to be different. What works for one may not work for another. With good farming practices plowing is a good thing in most cases around here.
