I guess I would look at it this way.
You rented crop land for $100 an acre. That is probably very fair price.
If ou did or didn't get around to planting it properly is on you, not the land owner. So the money is what it is, it's your fault, not the land owners fault.
Hay takes more time and careful planning than soybeans to make a good load of bales, so that might be tough for you too?
Assuming you live where you can get two cuttings a year, cut the weedy stuff early and bale it, it won't be worth much but it should pay for the gas and iron used. Then see if the second cutting should likely be a lot better with less weeds, and if you cut the grass early the first cutting, has a good chance of yielding fairly well for second cutting.
Brush hogging the field will tear down the weeds but makes a mess for trying to get a second cutting of grass, assuming you live in an area that can get 2 cuttings. That would be a real waste of time and resources, rent the land and accomplish nothing with it for a year.

What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
