Before RR cotton and beans there was no such thing as no till cotton or

I am talking about no till as a way of farming long term not as raising a
crop for a year or two with out tillage.

Bwahahahahahahaha

Tillage Survey News Release 1994-1995, still no RR beans in sight:
"No-till full season (same as single crop) soybeans have increased
over 6 times in the last 6 years, from 4 percent of total planted
acres to 24 percent this year."

How many times do I have to tell you I am talking about no till farming not
no till crops that make no till farming possible. The no till crops except
corn before RR ready crops could not be kept on the same feilds over a
number of years. With beans that is not useualy a problem because you have
diesase problems if you raise them on the same ground too may years in a row
and you want to used the nitrogen they fix with another crop.

We have been doing no till crops for one or two seasons starting in the
sixties. Only with corn have we been able to make it a long term farming
system before round up ready crops.

I can't help you ignorance of farming, weeds, and all the midrib of other
things that make up farming. If it ain't in a book or on the intent you cant
find it.

It is like the time I tried to explain the nitrogen cycle to you and you
tried to use elemental N2 to work it out in a lossless system.

Someone claiming to be knowledgeable of farming that can't grow a garden is
rather suspect. When I was farming most of my gardens would have been
organic if the land had qualified because I didn't have time to spray them.
I was too busy cutting wheat and planting cotton to tend a garden. I just
planted it and watered it and came back and cleaned up the weeds after I got
through planting cotton and started picking. Of course I just planted enough
for me and the bugs and went on.
