Title: re: Cover crops and no-till solutions for weed control

I read with interest this study. I have recently finished reading One Straw Revolution which encourages 'do nothing' farming ie let nature do her work.

Here in Australia we have a very active community of farmers who practice what is known as pasture cropping. Pasture cropping is sowing crops into mainly native vegetation with very little soil disturbance. To read more you can visit: winona.net.au/far…

Another very active group is Stipa who practice holistic management as per Alan Savoury. The main message here is to retain ground cover at all costs.

There are many consultants encouraging farmers to adopt these biological systems.

We are heading for exciting times in agriculture.
