Good for the environment, yet you have to use herbicides to sustain no-till. We no-till most of our fields, because it is more economical for us. Less fuel because of less passes on the field, and we have hilly ground, so no-till is almost a must in that kind of ground. But on the level/gently rolling hills, and you have proper waterways, tilling shouldn't erode the soil too badly. Organic farmers still do conventional tilling, and it helps quite a bit with weed control and soil aeration.
WTF do people have against weeds???
