Here along the Mohawk Valley lots of corn ground gets the mold board plow in the fall. That dirt and even the clay becomes real soft by spring. LOL even the Amish that have lots of furrows on edge rather than flopped over nicely

Thanks for this good explanation. You guys with big farms have been severely demonized by a lot of the leaders of the permaculture/ No till community. They meaning no till community have been given a lot of misinformation.
I'd like to see one called," The Purpose of cover crops. Then we might get an education on what's really going on. The part in this video were he says," we till because it breaks up compaction 4 to 8 inches deep". Gimme a break when you till you just move the compaction layer deeper. You can't till 3 to 4 feet deep. You drive a big ass combine on the ground when it's wet and cutting ruts your compacting 3 to 4 feet deep. You will never get your compaction problem solved until you do covers. And they work great with fert as well with no runoff.
You cannot build organic matter utilizing vertical or conventional practices due to opening up the stalks exposes them to oxygen which is like fueling the fire it burns that residue up. organic- “once living material” is not being built up it is being broke down and decomposed. As far as soil health, tillage can increase filtration, encourage mineralization for the plant, release carbon, warm the soil and air it out to dry faster for planting. It’s different in every soil but as far as building organic matter you won’t be building any over time by working the soil unless you put out cover crop right after or manure.
I watch ag PhD and enjoy it. But like all shows, they're trying to sell you something. No one is going to tell you to no till, make less passes, use less seed or inputs. It's am AD.

Leaving fertilizers on top of ground can also lead to the destruction of all the benefits of some fertilizers as the sun kills beneficial bacteria and microbes and such.

@@vinothkumarns7198 no the soil isn't affected. The flame only needs to slightly burn the tops of the weeds/their leaves. Once they are burnt a little it damages the plant enough that it can no longer do photosynthesis and dies.
watching all that soil blow away in the wind as you till the ground. Classic....

That’s not sand or clay that’s blowing away on the wind, that’s your richest, most valuable soil. And it’s leaving your field.

Is it possible to build organic matter while utilizing tillage? Wether it’s vertical or conventional?

Y'all totally forgot recreational tillage. It's a real thing especially with older farmers.

Waiting for that weed control.

Ever tried flame weeding?
@@dudeitsamy1210 No, didn't tried.
Is flaming doesn't affect soil health?
