1) Depends on pricing for no till vs "conventional" farming
2) Normal? Not tracking here
3) Well, I dont plan on watching it rot...
4) Havent went that far
5) Not a bit except MAYBE spraying
1)The only farms I know of that are true conventional tillage are organic farms. No till = no tillage at all. Min till = some tillage. Conventional tillage involves ripping/plowing/discing and cultivating between the growing rows.
2) Wasn't sure if you have 1/2" saplings/johnson grass/shattercane/burr cucumber/etc that will be significantly more expensive to control.
3) Some people like to grow crops for wildlife, just checking.
4) Pretty important.
5) If you plan on making a profit. Well you won't if you have everything custom done. And if you are just stepping into farming, spraying is the last thing you want to do. The sprayer is the most valuable piece of equipment on the farm. Spraying is the most important job. Very easy to make mistakes.
