No-till around here usually involves round-up or similar. Same where

Kills the weeds. Rolling it under used to reduce them enough to allow the
crop to sprout and defend itself. Still, it's tough to use a cultipacker
with corn stubble in place.

Corn stubble. A million years ago (well, about 33) I moved to
Wisconsin. Rented a farmhouse surrounded by acres of corn, which got
cut along about mid-October. I rode my OSSA Six Days up and down the
rows but since that part of Wisconsin has no hills, it was dull. So I
rode across the rows. Yumpin' yiminey! And you do NOT want to unload in
corn stubble.
