Not an expert, purely anecdotal, but ...

We may have a similar situation, nc Ill, want to plant COC next year, too wet for tillage, little confidence any tillage will happen the rest of this month, not a big fan of beans. I see basically two choices: do tillage when I don't want to (winter, wet and frozen ground), fc spring, plant corn, and sidedress, or spray burndown and plant beans. If we get a chance to disk/rip this winter, we'll do some and plant corn, if not, its beaners. Regardless of how good a job it appears to be doing this winter, the most corn next spring will be around 50% (down from 80%). I've seen too many years when ground worked wet, frozen or not, is a bugger the following year.

A caution about 28% ppi, be careful about too much trash, you want to N in the dirt, not on the stalks. Learned that the hard way quite a while ago.
