Thats a mix intended to be planted mid july to early august. Spray it with gly and kill everything now, spray again before planting, (it can even be the day of planting). Don't worry about the debris just leave it. Go to your local seed coop or call and order 3# purple top, 2# dwarf essex rape, and 5# of daikon radish (this is per acre). Comeback in early september and spread 150# of winter rye (not rye grass) per acre. Its my favorite brassica blend.

If you want less Brassica do broadcast soybeans (late maturing) at 75lbs per acre in early July. Come back last week of August and broad cast in 50lbs of oats, 50lbs of winter rye, and 5lbs of radishes per acre.

I've had a lot of luck using these two mixes on my farm in buffalo county. Brassica mixes do not get touched unless they are heavily fertilized I have found. They're modified versions of the lick creek mixes that you can find by googling (the guy was a deer genius).
