UncleHuck, do you have open ground on your new property or will you be clearing timber for plots? The soil should have a seed bank full of valuable native forbs just waiting to be disturbed and get some sunlight. Unless your plot location has been farmed hard you should have most of what you’d want already present. Just a light discing, a little fire, or even just removing the trees if it’s heavily wooded, is all you need to jumpstart a plot of natives. To the point of what you can buy, seed wise, which are native AND great browse I’d be looking at partridge pea, joint vetch(not really a vetch) and a few other vetches. Don’t overlook goldenrod. It’s more difficult to source common ragweed (ambrosia artemisiifolia) and other natives like beggarticks and certain mints or sunflowers. I’d suggest spending some time looking around the area of the new property and see what is already present on roadsides and field edges for what is thriving without help, what is being browsed, and identify those plants. You may consider collecting seed yourself from such locations with permission where applicable.
