Great video. The blogger just provided some more links, and what do you know, it's also about direct seeding...

Apparently, erosion averaged about 20 tons per acre last winter alone.
It doesn't say how much of it actually ends up in the river, but it does make even more sense on these hills than on flat land to use no-till and cover crop to fix your top soil, let alone prevent run-offs into the river.
