My experience with this is you would have to take that standing grass and harvest a hay crop 1st or cut it with a rotary mower numerous times working the cut depth from high to low, shred it, wait until the rain and weather starts to break it down, cut it and shred again before plowing if need be. At some point it will be broke down enough to not be so difficult to plow, and the rains will leach the nitrogen from the trash right into the soil. I've cut and plowed before with mixed results, not worth dealing with the plow plugging up. Sometimes it worked, but keeping that plow at the right depth makes a huge difference. I am not sure if trash boards would help with so much tall grass not connected with roots anymore. If the plow goes too deep, the sod won't roll over and the trash just seems to then plug up the plow real easy. I've seen some do this in tall grass with better results, but most would take the hay crop 1st.
I think it's far better to either plow it sooner when the grasses are much less mature, and in this case, make some changes to get better coverage, there is a lot of green showing that will likely come right back. Who knows what he has planned, the soil conditions etc. It's definitely good to turn that lush green into the soil, my preference being when it's still young and not stalky. I've done that in my garden, sure seems to give it a nice natural dose of nitrogen.
