I'm a big proponent of no-till farming. There are some interesting experiments with intensive small-scale farming with introducing compost and mulch to more or less barren areas, which provide enough nutrition to grow 'compost crops' which can supplement the soil further. It might be an interesting place to try carbon-recapture projects and build a microclimate.

I don't know enough about Montana, but I'm mostly worried about what monoculture farms are doing to the fertility of the Midwest.

Zero-till is awesome. Most of the farmers in Saskatchewan aren't quite fully zero-till but till a lot less than they used to. But zero-till is not organic, so the masses think it's bad.
