Times have changed. Back when Dad and Grandpa farmed , a lot of farmers used year away seed and no fertilizers or weed spray on soybeans. Claimed it was just "trading money" in the end. We fall plowed one field of wheat stubble(very slightly broadcasted fertilized in spring) right beside another field of soy stubble just surface worked. Soys at blossom time were 6" taller on plowed ground,right to the very row. If one plows down 5' cover crop 8" deep, angle worms will be 8" deep and microbes will follow. Fert./chemicals/$$$ now-a days will make up a 4" seed bed that will grow astronomical yields. They didn't have all that and the $$$to bury. Some will still agree that it is just keeping the bankers/seed& fert. dealers/ equipment dealers/ truckers and grain bin/dryer dealers all in bussiness. Handling a lot of bushels doesn't always equal a lot of profit. We / Grandpa usually got 30 bu. per acre (20 in a dry year) from soys and 90% of it was ours after expences. Like they said below , lot of ways to farm and some just help the economy more than the farmer.
