As you will see, industrial no-till was introduced
to combat the erosion and loss of top soil. But industrial no-till
relies on expensive chemical inputs of fertilizers and increasing
quantities of chemical remedies to combat pests (vegetative and
insect
problems)

I think your post is a bit too broad in it's scope.


You be the judge (as if it could be anyother way;-)
This is the pertinent, last half of the article.


Thanks for that Billy. It was interesting to read it. They are
interpreting No Till in quite a limited way. Fukuoka wouldn't fit their
definition.
