Lots of good comments here, the one observation that I want to make is that everyone seems to have "organic matter" and "plant debris" confused. Plant debris is NOT organic matter. Eventually plant debris becomes organic matter but it takes decades of plant debris additions and microbial action for it to become O.M.. Because O.M. is carbon, tillage is what actually destroys O.M. when it is exposed to oxygen in the air.
