Hello all, we just bought a property with 9 acres that has been monocropped by the local conglomerate of industrial farmers (corn/soybean/corn/soybean). My goal is to have a small grass fed livestock operation as well as an acre of veg. However, we don't take the property until mid summer. The local farmer who has been working the land is all set to do his thing, and I need to stop him before he plants. I'm hoping to hire him get seed into the ground so it doesn't just sit filling with weed seed. Can anyone make a recommendation of seeds that I would buy (I will buy organic and give to the farmer to spread). I was thinking mixed legume - alfalfa, clover, as well as native grasses? Is there any reading recommendations you can give to me that is geared towards regenerating industrial tilled soils to move towards rich organic producing soils for pasture fed livestock?
Much thanks!
