Not a lot to add to the information already given. On the edges of the fields I would go ahead and plant a bunch of Sawtooth Oaks. They will probably be the first acorns to drop and the deer like them a bunch. Once they are on your property you may be able to entice them with good food plots to stick around.The cutover area will have a lot of preferred foods for the deer and should be excellent, safebedding. Get a few cameras and put them out and you will get a good idea of the type of deer you have on your property. One last thing,you will probably be pleasantly surprised to find that you already have trophy deer on the property and you won't have to wait 5 years. Unless the contiguous land hunters have a management of some type you won't have a lot of success. Deer have a lot bigger range than 113 acres as you probably know.
