The finer you chop it up the more rapidly its going to suck nitrogen……Its not really important to get it chopped up fine……The more important part is just having a fairly even distribution of hay covering the field…..You don’t want heaped up wind rows in one spot and nothing covering the soil in the next……With a situation like described you could probably just run a cultipacker over it and it do fine…….Some of it might stand back up a little but it’ll lay back down long term……You want a little space for the seedlings to emerge through anyways…..I’ve actually planted into such by just throwing and letting my tractor knock the vegetation down…..The only problem was being able to see the deer right at dark…..I ended up coming back later on and making a quick pass across it with the mower just for visibility's sake………..
