The best crop ( in $ / ha return or actual profit, but also pretty high yielding as well ) was grain sorghum straight after faba beans with NO inputs other than seed & diesel . . .
Admittedly it was a wet summer, there was still reasonable soil moisture when beans were harvested & we had the ideal, slow flood go through the sorghum in Feb, but still, that is my ideal low input cropping model
Once I get around to incorporating livestock grazing into my arable farming ( assuming I am still here next year ), I can’t see the need for any fert at all
