All I know is my location, Minnesota. Don't know where you are.
Here we would plow it in fall, all of it, and work it in spring with a field cultivator or maybe a disk.
Can spray it a week before plowing, or spray it in spring after the weeds and regrowth come up.
Here poor fall plowing is better than good spring plowing.
1. Yes, fall plowing helps it dry out in spring. One of the primary reason 95% of the land in my county gets fall tillage.....
2. I would not disk it first, plowing should be the big tillage, just wasting the disk. Unless you have something the disking should accomplish, what?
3. Good.
4. I would assume you are harvesting the hay, so there would not be a big deal on the 'green manure' portion. Modern study says for the green stuff you plow under, you expose about the same loss from the roots.... Either way, plowing under green plant will put a little N into the ground, 'here' in the cold winter it doesn't go away so would be little if any difference. 'Here' a proper seed bed and weed control is more important to good corn that if you save a couple lbs of N or not, so it would not be a concern of mine either way.
