need more info.

What kind of hay? As others have said - alfalfa, but also timothy dies back in a few years and needs to be re-seeded.

if you're talking a typical orchard grass, etc. mix and you don't care so much about legumes and/or timothy - all I'd do is focus on whatever your soil tests indicate, and don't disturb the soil.

That's where you'll get the biggest bang for your buck.

I don't have to worry about clay too much here so I'm no expert - if I did I'd probably try leaving the stubble a little taller, to try to keep a little more organic material there to compost in after each cutting. Might help over time, but I'm only guessing.

Can you spread manure on it?
