If those are high weeds and brush I believe you will get a lot more day time use by just carving out several small plots of 0.25 acres or less connected by pathways. Forty acres is mainly a night time use area almost everywhere in Michigan for any crop except corn, and they often will just stay in the corn unless you have some compelling thing to bring them out. Ten 1/4 acre plots completely surrounded by high weeds, with maybe a 3 acre destination plot in the center somewhere, may be worth far more from a hunting standpoint than a 40 acre destination field, and will be a lot less costly.
