Converting a Farm Field to Wildlife Food and Cover - Dealing with Acidity and Compaction

This field is severely compacted and acidic due to typical farming practices of tillage and heavy applications of Nitrogen fertilizer. Root growth has a hard time breaking through soil that is over 300 psi on the penetrometer and this one is well over 300 about ten inches down.
To counteract this, we have applied enough lime to bring the pH up and we are subsoiling to break up the compaction layer. Next, we will plant a multispecies cover crop inoculated with microbes to start building the soil ecosystem back to a natural state.
