I am planning to plant soybeans for a green manure crop tomorrow (south-central MN). The beans work pretty well for fertility. I have grown vegetables on plowed down soybeans for several years. The sandy spots were a little weak. If you do decide to go for a plow down, disk them a little after pod set. They have fixed most of their nitrogen by that point, and you will not have trouble with volunteer beans next year. After disking, I go in with oats and peas for a cover crop. They both germinate well in cooler soils, they winter kill at about 20 degrees, and are easy to work up in the spring.
