Moss' man clearing won't hurt you at all. Take a tractor with a bucket knock down what you can, and Chain saw the rest.

yeah thats what im gonna do
now what would you people reccommend planting? it is a little bit an a slant in one part.

RE: clearing land for plot
 

When you say a little bit of a slant, how much of a slant are you talking?

If it is much of slant, you'll have erosion problems if you do much clearing or tillage.

Also, what type and how deep is the soil?

You keep asking us what to plant - I'll bet you've asked us the same question in 4 posts.

Other than what I've answered you back on already - I'd offer to you that when you are 1st getting started - with clearing a plot, and planting plots in general - WHAT to plant isn't so much the question as HOW. By that I mean, you will learn through research & experience how to prepare a plot for planting - and once you've masted that aspect - then you can start to expand on what to plant.

In general - with What to plant - I'd suggest to keep it simple - and plan on Re-planting every year or two.
I like clovers - but Grains like Rye & oats (fall planted) are great 1st time plots.

mossberg, clearing actually can hurt you, if the deer are atracted to your farm because of the timber/brush. it wont hurt, if they are coming to your property to feed

Why wouldnt you want to keep the honeysuckle?
