Most farming is no-till now, because of the "chemicals" you seem to hate.
That is false. Most farm land is tilled, plowed, driven on by machines for seeding and harvest, and disturbed regardless of the chemical inputs.
I can only speak for my region. But plowing and cultivating has become a lot less common over the past few decades. Herbicides kill the weeds effectively which reduce the need for it.

I think you don't know what you are talking about.
