Spray-cultipack bean question

BobHoover

Buck Fawn
Evening, little behind here with work schedule keeping me away from getting these beans in the ground. I got 7 acre field harrowed up a month or so ago. (Had too, converting from old pasture very compacted with thick grass). Course the weeds have come up strong still mostly raw dirt but some parts have some healthy stands of weeds. Sprayed GLY yesterday. Going to drill beans in next week. Would it hurt anything to cultipack it before I drill next week? A lot of loose and clumped dirt I’m concerned about it the drill going too deep as it is a no til drill. Main concern is considering it’s sprayed now, I don’t wanna cultipack and stir up new weed growth between now and drilling them next week. Thoughts?
 
I wouldn’t think a cultipacker would dig up more weed seed but like Bill says it’s not necessary especially for a large seed like a soybean. Cultipacker shine for planting tiny seeds... Git ‘er done. Put your effort into something else.
