we are in the process(and this is a LONG process) of restoring some overgrown fields to pasture. I have been using a loader and burning the debris, but we have some areas that are not as easy to work with the loader, and I would prefer not to watch the topsoil wash away. Most of what we are clearing is autumn olive, va pine, cedar. Diameter is under 8" for the most part. About 90% is olive. I am hoping that if we can have someone use a forestry chipper on the land we can reduce the prep work, and just seed over the chips next spring. We are not looking for a perfectly flat finished bed or anything, just enough to bush hog over and let the chips rot into the soil. would anyone know what type of price per ac I could expect? Clearing with the loader I am about at $450/ac with my time as nothing. We have cleared about 35 Ac so far, and have about that again to do in the coming year.
