So my wife and I bought a house and a 40 acre, mostly wooded property a couple of years ago we've been fixing up for about a year and half now. We're finally getting close to getting the house done which means I'll be able to finally start spending more time outdoors and one of the first things on MY to do list is to get a couple of food plots into some small meadows and open areas that were created about 10 years ago when the property had some timber harvested off of it.
The long and short of it is I have a Kubota L3800 with a box blade, grapple, and bush hog which I've been using for general clean-up around the house but don't really know where to start or even where to learn what I need to get started with this and have no agricultural background or experience. As I mentioned, there are a couple of small clearings (1/4 acreish) I'd like to start with that have some tree tops and slash piles on them I'll pile up hedgerows and cover areas around the clearings and I can bush hog the areas once they been cleared of debris but I'm sure there are a fair amount of stumps and rocks I'll need to contend with. I'd like to eventually have more of the land cleared as well so I don't mind investing in some implements that could be used to work the soil once the heavy land clearing equipment moves out.
Can anyone point me towards some good books or literature or offer any advise about how to get started on this. I've been reading through the forums but they tend to be more specific and less about general plot preparation. Thanks!
