HERE ARE THE ADVANTAGES

No-till farmers usually describe the advantages to the farming system they have adopted in terms of better management of the soil and improving the soil's ability to produce a crop. However, the ultimate test for any practical farming system is economic does the system offer the same or better returns for the labour and money invested?

Like any system, the no-till system will need to be continually modified in response to changing times and circumstances. To date, however, the zero tillage system has passed both the economic and soil management tests.
