Default Digging - good or bad?

I heard on Gardeners Question time that one should dig as little as

They were against winter digging.
But I notice that farmers plough deep.
What are the considerations?

Indeed, one should dig as little as possible. It makes one's back hurt
so. Get a little man in to do it; or 'persuade' one's wife that it is
womans lot to suffer in silence.
