Can you cut back kale and, if so, how far? [View all]

I'm growing lacinato kale and it's doing very well. I'd like to keep it producing through the winter under a greenhouse cover and I'm thinking if I cut it back to about an inch from the ground at the end of August it might sprout new leaves throughout the fall and into winter. I'm in zone 5 by the way. Has anyone tried this?
