1. The bit where A one and only system is not always right for the bank account!I think you are still approaching it from the wrong point of view.
A no tillers aim is to create a situation where he wouldn't need to use the plough ie it wouldn't need to come into the conversation because he has managed his cropping/ trying to manage his cropping not to need it. Its nothing about being "high" or "religious" that's just a cop out from the tillage perspective.
The no tiller is aiming not to use tillage because they think its better for their soil, time management and bank account not to need to cultivate. I don't always get it right but when I do it gives me cheap establishment and higher yielding crops than I ever managed to under tillage. The challenge is to make this repeatable as possible. Its still new ground as I've only been doing it 14 years and so I still get the odd thing wrong, but then so do ploughmen and they've been doing since before the bible apparently!
Which bit do you find so frustrating?
2. The bit where some DDer’s cannot see or understand that sometimes an alternative is better.
3. The bit where they seems to think their way is the best and only way and that the plough was the invention of the Devil.
4. Their intransigent attitude!
5. Their failure to realise that they are heading in exactly the same way and direction of the Organic movement in trying to rubbish conventional farming to the public.
