recently picked up a few acres sw of menoken a few miles, its pretty much virgin prairie and fairly rough. Any tips on getting this smooth and ready to plant . Ive heard as soon as you break the ground noxious weeds become an issue. Im planning to have trees planted around the outside by soil conservation in the spring but I need to prep the ground and dont wanna plant on uneven surface... Im thinking of trying to find a farmer with large implements to come in and subsoil, plow and disk but not sure if thats a bad idea... I dug down and theres a clay layer about 15 inches down that worries me, i want to break that up before putting in trees for sure. right now it hasnt even been cut so far this year ...
I would like to keep this area organic also if possible.
