That's the way we did it for 40+ years in ND. We used pull-type swathers, adjusted the speed of the swather and angle of platform to lay a "loose" swath on top of the stubble. If it rained there was lots of air space around the windrows so they could dry quickly.
I don't know if you have those types of adjustment on your swather, but it's kind of a trial-and-error thing to make a loose windrow. We cut the stubble medium height to give the windrow more support. Cut too high and the windrow might settle down into the stubble and be really difficult to pick up with the combine. Cut too short and the windrow won't dry very fast after a rain.
