Do you do it at a commercial level? Ie, are you selling at least some
of your produce from no-till gardening? If yes, what would be the pros
and cons of this approach for a market farmer?

No-till is something I am interested in, but all the permaculture and
no-till book I have heard about are written with the home-scale gardener
in mind. I would love to hear about those practicing it on a surface
over an acre, and see if it is feasible at that scale.
