Like other said, it is too late to plant and expect a good yield. You said he planned on planting corn, he may have already had herbicides applied that would kill anything planted besides corn. Around here if you plant another crop your preventive plant payment will be greatly reduced if you harvest the cover crop before November 1. And around here by November 1 the snow is flying. He could plant a cover crop but he wouldn't be allowed to harvest it and then he might have a lot of residue to contend with next spring again.
