I have a 20 acre field that I am trying to reclaim for hay/pasture.
It was full of small cedar trees and multi-flora rose bushes.
I set my brush-hog about 8" high and hogged it all down.
I am wanting to reclaim this as fast as possible, but understand this will be a process.
My question is, what should be my next or next few steps to recover this so I can cut hay off of it? I am concerned about the small tree stumps, if I cut them too short and start puncturing tires.
Once I have thing in good shape, I will start fertilizing and no-tilling in some decent grass.
Thanks in advance for your opinions and advice!
