Default lookin to spring in Va.

After watchin the deer come to a small 1/4 acre plotmaster food plot that i got in late (oct 1) and might i add half (Deleted for skirting profanity filter) ,! i am very excited about getting the 2 acre plot for 2010 ready. what i have is a 35 acre field that has not been planted for years,,, but has been mulch hayed every year.I will try to add some pics tomorrow of the place but my idea is to have two, 2 acre plots . With the field covered in grasses,,,should i now lay out the two plots and bush hog the areas and then spray with round-up pro to get a jump on ridding the areas of grass or should i wait until spring to begin preparing the areas? The plot that i did this year was plowed using a bobcat and a tooth bucket (i dont recommend this method to anyone) and after an endless body beating on the machine i found that i uncovered ROCKS! and plenty of them. Since then i have gained access thru a friend to a ford 8n tractor and disc and now im lookin for a 2 bottom plow,,,and my intentions are to plow and disc this spring and then hand pick the rocks off before liming and planting. What are your thoughts on my planning and timing?
