Default Digging - good or bad?

In article ], Chris ]

I heard on Gardeners Question time that one should dig as little as
possible.
They were against winter digging.
But I notice that farmers plough deep.
What are the considerations?


Thanks for your replies.
To clarify, I am interested in vegetable gardening, and my soil is a
fertile medium silty loam with lots of added manure and home-made
compost.
Does that make a difference?
