Did the same thing on my old logging roads the last 3 years. Get the lime to it as soon as poss. at least 6 months before planting. The first year i would plant buckwheat in the spring then disc it under once it is about mature. That will add some structure to the soil from the green manure. Then plant winter rye grain in the fall of the first year. Then rotate wheat and brassicas each year.
The first year will be the worst as all the decaying leaves pine needles ect. need broke down into soil hence the early lime. Lime it and work it in with a disc. Stick to the annuals such as rye wheat buckwheat and let them bring the nutuients up from deep in the soil the first year. Then once your soil is correct i would go with clover or brassicas which ever is more preffered in your area.
