This is a topic that can't be summarized in a few words, but will tell some of the major things I know about it. It works best on well drained soils. You will need to wait a few days after your neighbors start tilling, as you do not want to plant until soil works good and seed covers good. Beans probably no-till better than corn in most cases. I have planted beans in set aside ground that had laid out 5 years that yielded just as good as conventional tilled soil. The thing about no-till is once you start it is best to keep doing it, as things will improve as the years go by. You have a lot less weed problems as you don't keep bringing up weed seeds by tilling. I have a neighbor that has been no-tilling for approx. 35 years and raises as good a crop as any of the neighbors. Do some checking around, attend field days and observe others and then decide if it is right for you. If you have wet tough soils, probably not the thing to do. Works great with the right conditions. Just my observations on it.
