It sounds like it depends on what you plan to do with the land. If you or the neighbor plant corn Connie has the best answer if you don't have an issue with the chemicals. Of course it will have to be planted with a no-till planter, maybe your neighbor has one.
If you want to avoid the chemicals it sounds like plowing for this first pass, maybe some form of minimum tillage later. My F145 and 4200 plows would plow that as it is no issue. I don't know how your plow will do.
You could plow now or in the spring and then disc it multiple times before planting in the spring. If you plow now you will suffer wind and water erosion. Someone mentioned a cover crop for winter-over. I don't know if it is getting late for that or not.
If you plow it, regardless of when, you will want to disc it several times to kill the weeds. My dad would disc multiple times with time inbetween for the weeds to sprout. I have been asked to plant habitat for bees and monarch butterflys a couple of times. I got a much better result when I disked it several times after plowing, all in the spring.
I would not brush-hog it, they tend to wind-row the material making it harder to plow or disc.
A neighbor decided he was going to telephone farm his land. He called to coop to burn-it. He called me to disc it. He called another neighbor to plant soybeans. He called the coop to spray it. He called someone to harvest it. In the end he did not make enough and put it back in hay.

Today's Featured Article - Farmall 460: That's My Girl - by LeAnn R. Ralph. How many sounds can you think of that are as familiar to you as your own breathing? What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you.
