Is no-till farming scalable beyond small farms?
Last season I tried no-till farming on a half-acre plot to compare soil health and yields against my conventional rows. The organic matter did improve noticeably, but weed pressure became a constant headache. Can regenerative practices like this realistically scale beyond small farms, or are they mostly a niche approach for committed growers? I'm genuinely split because the science on carbon sequestration is still all over the place, but the visible difference in my soil made me wonder if we're dismissing something real, especially when input costs keep climbing.
