As you can already see, mistakes have been made...
1st, the Plow should have had (or may have had ?) Jointers or Cover-Boards, to cover the turned-down sod.. 2nd, you should never use anything that will "Work-Up" the sod. For that, we have always used a tool called a Soil Surgeon...it is a steel Drag with a nice set of 4" deep pivoting knives under it and plenty room on top to add weight ( or put rocks you find).. As it is pulled, the knives "Work" the grass down...NOT up..leaving a decent seed bed.. Using a Disc will then work IF you DO NOT allow it to work very deep..ONLY prepare a Seed Bed..not a bit deeper on this 1st year after Breaking Sod..
I am afraid that since you have used a "Roto-Tiller" type machine you have already pulled far too much UP .. I would disc the field when DRY and NOT very Deeply and hope I would re-bury enough of the sod to make a seed bed.. At this point, I would agree that Discing several times when the ground is Dry will eliminate most of the living grass..

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
