Plowing will bring up a fresh batch of weed seeds to contend with. Plowing will make it rough for as long as you have grass seeded there if you seed right away. You need a freeze and thaw and rain maybe several cycles to completely settle the plowed ground. You need to kill just the seeds on the surface and maybe three or four inches below the surface. Have it sprayed with roundup now with some 2-4D if you have broad leaves. Wait a month or so if you are in Michigan. Then work it shallow, three inches or so to level it nice and smooth preferably with a field cultivator with sweeps. A field cultivator drags the soil from the high spots to the low spots. A disk does not do that. The ground down deep in the plow zone has already settled so all you need to contend with is the top few inches IF you want a level field of grass without bumps that shake the bales off the hay rack for years to come.
