re: Planted summer plots today

Question for you all...
At my place we got a 10' NT drill and we love it we plant everything with it but I am still very much hesitant on a crimper. Seems like a fad to me? I am somewhat uneducated on crimpers I know they are gaining popularity but I'm hesitant to run out and get one knowing those that use them on youtube and the like are paid to use them.
Our current process is spray the plots to kill them in mid April/early may then two weeks later drill them during the process of drilling it nocks the dead stuff over much like a crimper would. Am I missing something that big not crimping?
I still get some weeds and come back and spray about 4-6 weeks post planting and I'm certainly not a farmer or ag major just trying to think my way through it and enjoying the journey as I LOVE doing plots and seeing things get better and better with time.

I will say this I am an idiot so take what I say with a grain of salt. Just saying what works for us..what are you spending on spray every year? What are you spending on fertilizer every year? I bet that crimper will pay for itself in short time.
In order to get the forage ton per acre we get you will have to fertilize the way you are doing plots. This method removes that from the equation. You can 100% dig soil on our 3 year old plots, then go right outside and see the difference.
I may get over this weekend I’ll dig some test areas and snap pictures.
