Faunsdale, AL | If you get timely rain and put enough seed out, all of those approaches will work!
May swap some tillage or machinery cost for seed cost by doing some of the broadcast techniques. If I had a lot of cotton, corn or soybean acres to put into wheat, and limited to no drill capacity, I darned sure would be looking at having it spread and disking it in. Maybe a vertical tillage machine if you have one that can blacken the ground enough to get good seed coverage.
On the whole, I think no-till is going to be easier as long as you can get good soil to seed contact. I"m not afraid that there won't be rains to bring it up here in Alabama, so saving soil moisture isn't real high on my list of concerns. Same way with wind, but could/will get rainfall to cause serious erosion this winter.
