My in laws recently purchased a property in northeast CT, that was previously used for pasture. It's around 10 acres of fairly open field. I have not seen the property in person yet, but my understanding is that it is in fairly decent shape, not many rocks or stumps. I do not believe that it has been hayed recently, I believe that the animals kept it trimmed down.
Now that they've purchased, the animals have been removed, and the grass will start to grow soon. There has been some discussion of having someone come and hay the property - but I'm not sure if that will come to fruition. Is there any risk of not maintaining the fields at all? My gut tells me that if it is not bushhogged or hayed that it will fill with weeds and saplings and become more difficult to return to nice field.
Any advice for general maintenance on the field to keep it from degrading?
