Burn off if no fire hazard to surrounding area is old practice. As for the later plowing? What are you planning for it later- hay ground, row crop, oats or wheat or a garden patch? If a garden patch- plow a land with a one pass around tossing to center, then go over and do another, repeat until field is done.

This is done more now for gardens but used to be moderately common for bottom land around Ohio river valley among some of the Irish and German farmers in early days during transition from horse to tractor- especially when the Ford Ns came out.
