After talking with some people it looks like it may be in our best interest to wait until next year to get this planted. We would be rushing to get this done this year and I dont want to half ass it. We have some huge log piles that will need to be burned so I will take this winter and get that done and spend the summer getting it prepped for planting next fall. Also gives me time to explore all my options as far as federal grants and all.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to offer there input on this. It was a huge help.
