The explanation that went with my first quote of the day didn't make the trip. I don't know why. After reading the comments I have revamped the explanation and am taking another shot at it. Here goes:

1. I want to maximize my soils potential.

2. I want to minimize, and preferably eliminate, soil and nutrient loss.

3. I want to maximize profit.

4. I think living organisms  in my soil, that includes roots and microbials and invertibrates,  as much as possible is the way to achieve those goals.

5. I think the tillage I do and the year around use of herbicides to control weeds reduces those organisms.

6. I think anything I can do to reduce the use of the above mentioned is beneficial as long as it doesn't reduce profit.

7. I am willing to change to meet my first three goals. Doing things as I've always done them doesn't work.

8. How can I get there?

9. Those unwilling to consider change need not reply.
