I do this for a living and have selected the best methods to use to build 
productive soil.
Why would I waste my money on an unsustainable method or one that doesn't 
work?

Why don't you give us more information about this with references. If  you are using Fukuoka as an example I can 
understand when notill might be useful, in fact I am using that method right now over a large area of fallow garden.

If you're talking about doing permaculture and market farming at the same time at the same site, and you're not on 10' 
deep praier black loam soil, then notill won't lead to acceptable productivity.
