Wev'e always had better luck in the fall with renovating pastures. It's easiest to spray then no-till. We do all our pasture work/fall planting near Labor Day. The others are right-you have to set the depth right on the drill. Also, sometimes it's better to drill the hardier stuff in the fall, then broadcast clover over it in the early spring. We like to mix some winter wheat with our planting because it grows well in the fall and seems to sort of "insulate" other tender plant types. The wheat makes good early browse, and will not stick around later to interfere with your intended plants. We've actually drilled wheat directly into all of our established pastures in the fall. It grows well, makes good deer browse for hunting, and makes good early browse for the cows. Also wheat is relatively inexpensive. If you plan to completely work the ground before replanting, I'd spray the field first, then get a good heavy disk and go to town on it. Moldboard plowing is good but creates a ton of extra work. I'm sure you know how bad you get beat up disking after rolling the ground. If you have a good disk and really go over it (without plowing), then all you'll have left is harrow (or cultipack) and plant.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
