[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 479814, member: 4362"] I agree with hill rancher but you might try burning it first. With 2 years of drying time and enough straw on the ground you might be surprised with how clean it will be. 10 foot tall pines were probably about 6-8 years old and will break down quickly. I cleared some land a while back that had 6 year old planted pines on beds. I ran a brown woods mower over the trees and chopped them up. Burned the site a few weeks later then followed that with a heavy offset harrow. Limed and fertilized then planted rye. When rye browned up, harrowed it again then sprigged grass on it. Its a heck of a hay field now and I didn't spend much money on it at all - but it did take a lot of time. [/QUOTE]
