Notill is great where it works.
Heavy wet clay soils with poor drainage and a deep snow pack and deep frost, doesn't work so well year in and year out.
So we burn more fuel around here, but we rarely ever have a true drought so there is some pluses too. We can get real dry, but not like you on loam or sand.
Strip till, or zone till as someone called it, is promising, but they are still working on ways to make it go in the slimy heavy wet clay. Some day.......
Molboard plowing is very common here still, bigger outfits do more disk ripping which goes deeper and leaves the ground more bare, but kinda one and the same around here.
Dealers have taken on Salford to sell their plows in the past 5 years, very popular these days, 11-12 bottom new plow.
Not for my size operation of course. ;)
Plows used to sell for scrap iron 10 years ago, now they have up ticked quite a bit, a good IHC 720 is worth some money again.
Less tillage is more money in my pocket, -if- I can grow as good or better of a crop.
