Do I need to burn off grass?

[ffukedfarmer]

I've got a field to reseed as soon as we get enough rain to be able to get the plough in the ground.

Due to a serious lack of rain it already looks like it has been sprayed with roundup so was thinking of going straight in with the plough rather than burning it off beforehand as it's not particularly weedy.
Or should I wait until it greens up a bit, then roundup?

I would re seed then spray weeds afterwards. No clover in the ley

Pointless spraying a ley if there is no green leaf as it won't work very well at all. Just make sure the ploughing job is spot on.

People ploughed for thousands of years before Roundup was invented
