i seem to remember in the dim and distant, a paper which domonstrated that most fields dont need to be ploughed to achive a decent yield and in fact some would have a higher yield if they used direct drilling into stubble. simple matter of nuking the weeds thereafter

Direct drilling is one of the principal causes of the massive water run-off from agricultural land during heavy rain, contributing to flooding and the pollution of water courses. There is also a knock on effect because less water is absorbed, heightening the effects of dry weather later in the season. Good for aerial photography but bad for actually growing stuff.
