| Exactly! The soil health crowd talks about microbes and earthworms for healthy ground. Well, if you don't have drainage or soils that don't drain easily, all those things that are so important for soil health die. In some (or most) instances, doing tillage and/or drainage allows you to keep those soils dry enough to get something planted, and therefore keep it more productive/healthy. There's a cycle involved where no-till leads to continuous soybeans/prevent plant, which leads to salinity, weed problems (kochia/waterhemp/foxtail), runaway cattail sloughs, or just flat out dead soil that doesn't grow even kochia or foxtail. | |
