Southeast WI | Paul, one constant I’ve learned is nothing applies to your incredibly unique situation. Maybe get out and learn and try new things and you will realize your situation is not as unique as you think.
What this gentleman from nrcs posted is a complete mirror image of what my friend Tom tested on his farm in 2014 and across the road on a farm that uses tillage. Read the chart he put together. He also has video of this.
If you do yearly tillage you destroy infiltration channels. Soil seals off and you get what you get when it rains hard - poor infiltration, water runs to low spots, sheet erosion, gullies. One way to really help this is to use covers with tillage, however folks using that practice is even smaller than us notillers using covers. Even with notill on hilly ground one may still need waterways to move flowing water off the landscape safely during those toad strangler rains. Notill is another practice for the goal of stopping soil erosion in every form.
