I have just closed on a purchase of 20 acres that
I bought. This ground is a bit lower, but not all
that bad. about 12 acres has been pastured for at
least 30 years, the remainder is hayfield. I
would like to clear the 12 pasture acres and make
it a nice 20 acre hayfield. The 12 acres is
currently grass and weeds, a few small tress,
about 4 inches across and some willow brush in the
low corner. I am thinking about spraying the
entire 12 acres with roundup, then pulling out the
trees, moldboard plowing it up, then discing the
everliving heck out of it. Picking the rocks then
fall planting into hay. Is this the way you would
do it? Is there a better way you would recommend?
Is there something I can spray the willow brush
with to kill it too?
This is in Central MN.
Thanks for any ideas to consider
