GOOD VIDEO. I subscribed and gave a 'thumbs up'.
Nice to see light, well-maintained vintage equipment still pulling.
Combined with a patient operator, soil moisture and soil in good tilth Farmall Cub obviously suited to the kitchen garden.
I doubt, however, the regeneration of the Rye grass has been prevented. I think Rye destruction will require tillage to 6" depth, several times, at 7 to 10 day intervals. Perhaps a subcompact tractor size middlebuster would penetrate deep enough to disrupt Rye growing in strips.

You’re probably right. I had the soil conservation service out and they told me to put my plows on and turn it over
