season extending annuals. Some of us have no-tilled for over a decade now,
made very easy with glyphosphate tolerant crops. Others, like organic
certified, may not have options other than tillage.

----------Some climate scientists say that the global warming trend peaked
in 1998 and we've entered a cooling cycle. The global extremes of snow and
cold this winter may/may not confirm this trend. Some people in some
locations will adapt to it.
