Subject: Putting Hayfield back into Row Crop Production


North Central Indiana
Late this Fall/ early winter I had the opportunity to Rent a piece very local to me that has been in hay production for around 8-10 years. I plan to plant it to beans this spring. Due to when I got access to the piece it was too late/ weather turned to where I couldn’t get any tillage/ burn down done last fall. So my question is how should I tackle this farm come spring? Do I set in early with burn down and follow with a chisel plow to bury the sod and follow with a pass or two with the disk? Or do I burn it down and attempt to no till beans right into the sod? I personally don’t have a lot of experience no tilling beans in situations like this. How bad is weed pressure going to be if I no till? Very little alfalfa left in the stand due to mis management. Young guy starting out here so any advice is very much appreciated and welcome. Thanks
