Have mercy..... I was responding to this quote of yours.
"The real reason for plowing is to loosen the soil deep enough that the new crop can put it's roots as deep as needed to give support to the plant and also so the plant can find the moisture and nutrients needed to be healthy."
It's safe to assume that you have never used a no-till planter. It does not till the soil. The disk openers simply slice through the sod then the seed is dropped in the slice.
Using your logic of the reason for plowing this no-till would never work.
Plowing reduces moisture!!! It does not help the seed find moisture!
You also stated something about roots. For the record it has been proven that plant root lodging is worse in moldboard plowed ground and also results in decreased yield.
