CNC, you're welcome to borrow my cultipacker when you get ready to play with one. We're not far from you and I might even deliver it for the opportunity to see your successes first hand.
That's a deal!......

I bet with the proper crop selection, you could eliminate the mowing altogether. Spray, sow, and cultipack. I don't see why this wouldn't work.
I agree. The only thing I would worry about though is creating a solid mat of thatch. Sunn may be bulky enough that there would still be plenty of air space in between stalks and such but you can make a solid mat out of grasses that will smother out the your seedlings. The no-till farmers I've seen in the videos flatten cover crops like rye in this manner but they then come back behind it with a drill that cuts through the thatch allowing gaps for the seedlings to come through. Rough cutting it with a bush hog leaves everything in a criss cross patter with air space between the straw pieces.
