I switched to no-till in the early 1980s. I immediately had a yield loss. The experts said that the yields would come back. Well mine never did. So after five years I switched back. I deep chiseled all my ground that year and had a thirty bushel yield jump in corn. I do no-till after soybeans. My corn ground gets deep tillage every other year.
The only places I have seen continuous no-till work have real good loam soils that are not prone to compaction. I have combination soils that almost all have some clay in them. It does not no-till well. I control erosion with buffer strips. I need hay any way so they work for me.
No-till soybeans seem to work better than corn. Many big operators like to no-till because they can cover more ground. I think that if they did few acres with a combination of tillage they would get more bushels and profit.
