When would you say it's too late into spring to try and establish a switchgrass plantings vs waiting to frost seed next spring.

I didn't have any fields areas prepped for frost seeding this year. My father wants to spray/disc/plant this year and I think we should do the spray and ground prep but plant but with annual screenings anywhere we want the switch. I'd mow and disc those areas after the season next year in prep for early spring frost seeding.
I'm worried once I have the ground worked I'm going to be in the prime weed and grass growing window offering too much competition for the switch even if I get a good kill on my spray application.
I have a miscanthus source that will be getting planted next year behind annual screenings this year for road screening. Switch will be used in some foodplots shaping buffers and travel areas and eventually will convert a few old hay fields to switch to add some depth of cover for travel. it's not going to be intended as bedding anywhere so these aren't large areas.
