I've seen it. By the way, although "modern ecologists" might not know how to improve the soil during cultivation, modern agronomists certainly do know. No-till farming improves the soil, often dramatically (especially when winter annual cover crops are used in conjunction with no-tilling).
I did my master's thesis research in agronomy (concerning nitrogen fertilizer management in no-till corn production) at the University of Kentucky, one of the pioneering institutions in no-till research. Not much room to discuss it here, but if we ever meet, I'll talk your ear off.
