Gerard,
The easiest I ever planted no-till corn was in two year soybean stubble. Works wonderful.
Wheat with double crop bean stubble works great.
You have to rot the wheat stubble down to make it work or slice it, it is hard to push with your residue managers or row cleaners.
I would apply N to the straw or use your broadcast fertilizer plan to help it break down and the longer the better as long as you don't encourage weeds.
Then you need to control the weeds before you plant the corn or before it emerges.
