Judging from the headline of the piece compared to the piece itself, you can't help wondering if the Campaign for Real Farming doesn't want no-till to work, in much the same way as the massed forces of the tractor manufacturing/ agrochemical axis are ranged against us on the other side...

ie: No-till and carbon sequestration: does it work? as a title about a study which suggests that most of the practical research that has been done on this subject is flawed. There is no doubt that a lot of no-tilled land in the States has been farmed pretty hard; without cover crops or, indeed, the long term benefit of the soil in mind. Such land will give quite different results to, say, Gabe Brown's Ranch. The report concluded that to work out all the variables and inconsistancies, we really need a fifty year long study to come up with all the answers
