CNC, we were able to get soybeans into this field last weekend, but only where we disced up the soil.

I'm considering spraying the native forage around the perimeter in August and throwing out a small-seed mix for fall growth in September. It would be great if I could do this on my own without getting a tractor involved. Do you think I'd have much luck if I simply drug some old car tires over the dead grass after throwing seed? Thought that might help get the seeds to work down toward the soil a little better. As you can see from the pic (from February) there is a decent amount of thatch to work with. What we do where the soybeans are may be a function of how much is still standing come September (if anything).
