I am going to be turning 160 of CRP, back into crop production. What is the best way to do that? I am planning on planting soybeans. Should i no-till right into the thick grass residue, should i swath the residue off first, or what should i do?

Ben,
I converted 80 acres last spring. You are on the right track with RR beans. Don't forget to innoculate your beans.
I baled the grass the fall before. I would suggest you burn off the residue this spring. No-tilling into that heavy dead residue could cause some problems.
I yieled 75 bushels to the acre and lost some due to a few wet spots.
Good luck with your burn.
