no cows i love the geringhoff, even though its the older PC model my field looks like someone went out and clipped each intividual stalk at a uniform height its great, all the stalks are cut b4 they get driven on in between the rows is a couple inches of fluff stalks cut lengthwise in pieces approximately 6-8" in length our chisel plow is too big to pull much more than 6-8" deep with our tractor but we use 3" concave twists pulled at an angle right behind the combine but it still leaves the stalks standing at the height you cut them, cause we dont have harrows on our chisel i cut at 12-18" in height so this year we disked with our white 272 literally right behind the chisel at the opposite angle (borrowed the neighbors cat55, tracks are really nice) less trash would warm up faster and these stalks dont burn well in the spring if you are having wet issues but there is also not much left by spring due to both trash blowing away and also breaking down thus the reason they wont burn but you still have the stump standing you would be much better off in my opinion to use a conventional corn head for no-till unless you have firm soils with no drainage issues if i had well drained rolling land i wouldnt hesitate to use a chopping head
