    Seems logical to me that if you dig a hole, you should fill it back up and let it regreen. We can use mother natures gifts without destroying her

    Then, clear cut it and treat the stumps of the invasives with herbicides. Clear the vines off the trees. Sell what trees you can for timber and sell the rest for firewood.

    Goats are browsers, and prefer eating above knee height. After everything above the knees is eliminated, it doesn't take long to mow it too the dirt.

    Several large scale native plant operations do grow in "production plots" and "production fields" Videos and channels to look up for these: - Ion Native Seed Exchange (Iowa) - Prairie Moon (Wisconsin) - Roundstone Native Seed (Kentucky) - Hamilton Native Outpost (Southern Missouri / Ozarks)

    Some common species like Indiangrass and Blazing Star do lend themselves to seed harvest at scale. Some others, like said Rattlesnake Master and Red Milkweed need more attention.

    I get the clean outs after harvest from the local mills who usually pay for a place to dump it, they deliver it to my abandoned mine and I spread it around with my tractor, I’ve been doing it for about 15 years and have about two feet of organic material that is sticking on top of the rock. I’m nervous to ask my state for tips, they’ll probably fine me.
