Hey Guys. Just wondering has anyone ever made a pasture from a clear cut forest? We have roughly 3 Acres of forest we have recently clear cut just around the beginning of covid. I had the intentions of getting it then cleared with an excavator to set in hay for hay ground/pasture. Of course since then the price of getting the land cleared of stumps and rocks have almost doubled in my area. It's just not quite feasible at this time now to do this but I wanted to set it with hay seed so I could use it as just pasture instead. So I'm asking to know if anyone has done this before and what did you do? In my head I'm thinking about spreading some manure (i have a large amount stockpiled) and seeding over that. As well I've seen some people covering the seeded area with old hay to keep weeds from growing too. I thought I may do that too. pictures to give you guys an idea of what the ground looks like. these pictures are of some of it.
