100% no till since the late '80's. You couldn't pay me to go back to the old days. Less fuel, less time, far better yields, I've all but forgot what a rain rut looks like. Same tractors we were farming with 25 years ago, running day and night back then, we plant 4 times the acreage in half the time. Soil structure is vastly improved. It's been a win/win situation for me.
The drought has hit this area hard this summer. Neighbor is all conventional tillage. His crops look horrible. Mine look fairly good all facts considered. He's combined one field and so have I. His yields were in the 45 bu/ac range. Mine was 112. Both fields planted within 3 days of each other. Yesterday, he was in the field with a deep ripper. It looked like the dust bowl days. I was inside watching the little league world series, enjoying the fact my ground wasn't blowing away in the wind.
