I have several hay fields that I would like to convert to a corn soybean rotation. These are all rented fields that I have made the hay off of for several years. I am spending more time than I like making hay and am thinking I will convert these hay acres to add to my row crop acres which don't need as much attention mid summer. I am trying to avoid using the moldboard plow if possible to avoid dead furrows and leaving bare soil exposed over winter. I am thinking about spraying the hayfield this fall and leaving the dead grass over winter, then in the summer no till into the stubble. I have a 6RN JD 7000 for a planter and have never no rolled before, I am running 200 acres currently, all conventional till. If my planter does not seem to no till well in the spring, I would think a pass or 2 with a disc would prep the ground for planting.
Could this work? Or should I just moldboard it?
Also wondering, will I lose all green manure value by spraying the existing grass hay with roundup?
