Let me guess, BEST.

It will do everything you need it to, fix salt, inoculate pulses, reduce fertilizer, hard pan.

You are right about the nutrient lag in zero till. Takes a few years to get to equilibrium.

We had a bad experiance on newly purchased land, Sencor, lentils and rain. Big downpour after application and our new land that had been farmed half and half pretty much killed the lentils and lighter land that had been in zero till for years had no affect.

On any given land on one acre by 6 inches deep there are over two million weed seeds waiting to germinate so says the studies. One can manage weeds. the organic land would be extremely healthy and teaming with life which plants thrive on. if one bought the organic land and used minimum in ground fertlizer and proper rates of chemical one would have exceptional land and yields for a long time. The soil is free from man made chemicals , salts and the soil tilth should be really good.

Somebody will buy it and will apply fertilizer and see outstanding yields but year after year more fertilizer will need to be applied to keep yields up, soil will harden, salt levels will rise and disease and pests will get higher. And the soil will become dead.

use the land smartly and wow could it be profitable

Why would it be a given that a conventional or min till farmer will purchase this land? This land is not far from me, and considering the weather I might make it to the sale. One thing for sure the few farmers that have their crop off may be in for a deal.
