Mechanical Weeding Techniques
This presentation from the 2013 ACORN conference in Moncton featured three speakers: Josh Oulton (Tap Root Farms, NS), Michael Carr (Jemseg River Farm, NB), Kent Coates (Nature's Route Farm, NB). Each guest speaker presented for 15 minutes on the methods they use on their farms to mechanically cultivate, as well as other methods of weed control and prevention that they use. There was a brief discussion at the end about where each farmer gave his input about when to start using mechanical cultivation, and what it has done for them in terms of efficiency.

Sébastien Angers from the 2013 ACORN Conference in Moncton.
Growing organic no-till soybeans requires a well thought out rotation and planning that involves corn, soy and green manures. The technique of being able to incorporate residues and weed control without tilling requires much tinkering and accurate use of tools, but the improved soil structure and mineralisation provide many benefits to the crops.
