Cover crops/ploughing

[Massey4517]

Discussion time....I am a sprayer driver and haven't had much to do with ploughing/cover/direct drilling. However I try to stay up to date. I understand every area. Soil type is different. What I see when watching ploughing is all the birds come down to eat the worms but aren't they good for the soil? I also understand ploughing is good for other reasons. Would it be a good system to have ground on a rotation maybe plough a certain amount of fields every year to break up the soil? and the rest cover crop it/direct drill maybe some light cultivation?
