Have the soil tested but chances are you will need alot of lime.Now is a great time to lime as it will have time to work before spring planting.If you lime it now with 10 ton / 3per acre then plow the sod under and fit the field and lime & fertilize it again and plant some wheat to keep the weeds down .Then plant I.W.T. clover for a fall planting you will be amazed at the deer you will draw.Lime and fertilize again next spring and you should get 3 years from a planting.Use a fertilizer with no nitrogin as 0-40-14.Its the best money you will ever spend.
Good luck
