Like other said, it is too late to plant and expect a good yield. You said he planned on planting corn, he may have already had herbicides applied that would kill anything planted besides corn. Around here if you plant another crop your preventive plant payment will be greatly reduced if you harvest the cover crop before November 1. And around here by November 1 the snow is flying. He could plant a cover crop but he wouldn't be allowed to harvest it and then he might have a lot of residue to contend with next spring again. Sounds to me that he has the weeds killed off and yes it may not look pretty, but in my opinion, the dead weeds and grass on the field are better than than disking it black and letting the wind blow the soil and dry it out completely.
I collected preventive plant about 4 years ago, it wouldn't stop raining in may and june. Yes I could have planted millet, but as the year turned out we had a wet fall and I would not have been able to harvest that either, so taking the paymnent was a win situation. It dried out by the middle of July, I sprayed it twice that year to keep the weeds down and next year had the best bean crop I had ever planted. I agree some people work the system beyond what it was intended but the one year I used it and needed it I am glad it was there. Insurance premium are a lot higher than they use to be but you have to have it to cover your but with the rising price of inputs. As far as the trees, if its your land, plant them wherever you want.
