I’d add some Marshall Ryegrass to whatever fall mix you use. Just kill it before it goes to seed next spring. Follow up next spring with buckwheat and sorghum. Rinse/repeat until you start to see organic matter increase. You could try some Daikon Raddish as well this fall.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

I'd plant millet in the summer......I'd keep overseeding and adding nitrogen in attempt to establish a carpet of grass to repair the soil surface to begin with

fall, cereal rye (not rye grass) diakon (sodbuster) radish, clover and pour the fertilizer to it. In spring. Sunn hemp, Milo grain sorghum. That combination has really helped us build up our soil.

You may want to bring in a few dozen bales of hay to help things get going.........I think you could probably spread them pretty easy by just busting them out of the strings and then easing a bushhog down over it

257, remember the big dirt pit on Jakes land that Tike hauled from? We tried growing wheat in that thing for years, sometimes planted it five times a year but it would never grow, guess it was due to poor grave/clay and having several hundred dove in it every day.

Im in the same boat, I've been hauling in dump trailer loads of horse manure. Definitely had a good stand of crabgrass this year on it! That'll work right there........
