I'm finding the same thing. Planting soys into standing corn stalks is getting harder. Vertical tillage is probably going to help.
My silty ground stays damp and when I plant with my 1990 CCS the ground slots up and I'm often left with an open trench that I can see beans at the bottom of.
I was thinking of using a vertical tillage tool too and trying to just work the 20" between my 30" rows with some kind of vertical til strip til machine and leave the 10" over my old corn row so my corn stalks would still be standing and then plant my 15" soybean rows into that 20" band.
Loosen up and dry up the soil where I'm planting is what I am thinking. Like you I'm not sure how to do that.
