[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1259691, member: 4362"] I've done it several times but the cost depends on how clean you want it. For grazing pasture I would expect to spend about $300/acre not including seed, lime or fertilizer. If converting to hay field it would cost $900/acre unless you work with nature rather than strong arming it. My most recent hayfield addition cost around $300/acre but I was patient and worked with nature by overseeding annuals and harrowing with an offset harrow between plantings till I had found and removed all the problems stumps. Was cutting hay in four years. Friend was impatient and he went another route and it cost him over $2000/acre and he still wasn't pleased and to this day its still a sore subject with him. I think he learned that Masonic bond is great but when it comes to business its best left at the lodge. [/QUOTE]
