Corn Emergence Under No-till vs Strip-till

[@jakebakker8224]

A lot of factors to consider though. Not everyone can afford to buy a strip roll machine. With no till it’s a low energy low labour cost method. As well if you are blending fertilizer into the strip, I’ve heard you get corn row syndrome in beans following.

no till will always be the better option even if the yields are less because you get so many other benefits like having way less input cost. regenerative agriculture has lower yields but way higher profit margins overall. Gabe Brown has tons of scientific data and the profits to prove that. his soil organic matter is high, his water infiltration is high, his topsoil depth is growing each year etc. even if profits were lower, we cannot sustain this petro chemical agriculture system forever. the soil needs poop not petroleum lol. ive never seen a petroleum animal running along fertilizing the prairies, but i see wildebeests, or in America back in the day Bison and pronghorn by the millions spreading their NPK all over the land. if we cant produce food while also building soil fertility we are screwed, and every year conventional agricultural land loses top soil and organic matter which leads to desertification. we can create deserts or we can create lush fields or forests of abundance, all without ever spraying anything.
