Arva, Ontario | I think it was Tom Oswald that said “Tillage begets tillage”. The longer one tills, the more of it is required to achieve the same results.
Right now, at current prices, and some pre-purchased inputs, any and all tillage seems cost effective.
I’m so grateful our operation got squeezed in the 90’s and we adopted no-till as a means of reducing the need for labor, fuel and overhead. In the next few years, there will the inevitable crash as output prices collapse, yet input costs slowly recalibrate.
I recognize that there are some cropping systems and soil types that the transition to no-till and or strip-till is much more challenging, but “wanting” to make it work is a key element.
