This is really a simple issue to resolve. Stop tillage farming and restore ecosystem services to the farm. Cropping with biodiverse ground covers combined with mop grazing technique eliminates run off, increases yields, will eventually eliminate all artificial inputs, reduces operating cost and improves the nutritional values of the food crop. The destruction of the soil structure, the nutrient and water cycles by the practice of tillage and the superior results of no tillage farming are well documented in the peer reviewed literature.
