All I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but here goes.
On our hunting property we are looking to plow part of a 5 acre open field that has not been used in over 20 years. It has been let go and all that is growing now is native grasses and weeds.
We are looking to turn part of this field under this fall to let the current vegetation rot out hopefully. We keep this field cut down about three times a year. The grass is currently about 18 to 24 inches tall.
Should we cut it down prior to turning it under?
In the Spring what type and how much fert should be put on? (plan on plowing up about 100 yards by 50 yard section for food plot)
Would disking or rotor tilling be best in the spring?
Crop type will be a mix of clover, peas, wheat, oats and soy beans with turnips going in later in the summer.
Also should we use something like Round Up in the spring prior to planting?
Grew up in cow/logging country and only crop type stuff I have been around was the family garden. So while not a young'n just never done this type of stuff before and would like to get all of your expert opinions on how to handle this one to get the stuff to grow for the deer and turkey.
