dfarmer,
Two options traditionally:
1. Fall burndown, spring no-till.
2. Spring moldboard plow.
Really no in-between. Trying to chisel or disc that old, tough sod is a losing battle around "here." Flipping it with a moldboard works extremely well if you want to go the tillage route. If it has been used as a pasture, then the compaction may demand it. At least from my experience.
