No dig and composting is the way for the future to save money on fertilisers and soil damage due to barren lands. You could leave the roots in the soil cut the stems and let the roots break down feed the soil microbes. The foliage can also be left on the ground it will break and feed the soil. Feed the soil the soil feeds the plant.♻️
You could save so much more money. Use some fresh green residues and some inferior quality cobbs mixed with water as fertilizer. Add forest soil and wild grass cutting. Leave covered to ferment for upto three months. ZERO Cost fertilizer :) Also save on weed killer. Don't kill them, keep them. Add them to your fertilizer.
This is a step in the right direction. It falls short of diversity planting with it's monocropping and only crop rotation. The first part doesn't include trees for wind reduction, shade, and nitrogen fixing. They don't include keeping a living root in the ground with cover crops which feeds the soil microbes.
@Eveline Fones Williams No we have white corn here as well. Silver queen a white corn is very popular in New Jersey. Maize is called corn in the u.s. and in the u.k., but they will call sweet corn the same as the u.s. sweet corn. Corn in the U.K. refers to all grains. In the U.S. maize is so important we call and corn

Some grazing of livestock on the cover crops too, and chop & drop from trees or bushes

Where is Elleman Mumba? Wasn't he once the posterboy for conservation agriculture?
Maze? It looks like corn to me. Just a little American humor, yes I know it is the same thing.
