Would you dig out this concrete before planting?

Hello,

I'm expanding my raised bed garden with an additional 8x4 foot bed. I always dig out several inches of existing soil to get as much of the grass roots out as possible. Turns out there is a huge concrete curb right where I want the bed to be!

So would you take the time to dig this out, or would you just plant over it? I'll probably have to rent a jackhammer to get it out. I'm leaning toward leaving it, but do you think it will affect plant growth? This season the bed will be for squash, but in the future who knows what I'll plant there.
