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?

Sounds good stuff. There are quite a few books out there on the subject
of No dig veg gardening. If you can avoid walking on the growing area
then it makes a lot of sense although personally would call it little dig
veg gardening rather than no dig :~)
I am not a veg gardener but the are huge areas of cultivated ground here
that I have not dug since we cleared it after moving in 27 years ago so
you really do not have to dig ground to grow stuff.
