I am jealous.... I have a small lot in the big city and only rocks will grow on the rock farm. Suprises some folks but I have pears, grapes, asparagus, and a ton of raspberries.
I do have a suggestion.... if you can get a 'big' plow to go deep for ya, I would highly recommend Asparagus. It is just so good, very early in the spring to harvest and all you need to do is 'mow' it in the winter. Truly a lazy gardeners delight! If you haven't had fresh asparagus you are missing something.
I have had awesome luck with everything I have gotten from Miller Nurseries in upstate NY. My asparagus is about 15 years old and still going strong.

Brushhogging the brush will leave stumps which puncture tires. I use the weedeater to cut the brush off at ground level.

I would clear it with "Fire". Talk to your local fire department about a controlled Burn.
Then came Bronson

Controlled burn is an option. Whether it's a viable option depends on a number of factors such as terrain, location, near by buildings, near by vegetation, type of soil and equipment available to prepare the area for the burn.
The state Conservation Department (MO.) provides classes in controlled burning.
