I would suggest looking at it as if you were to plant a crop, get a soil test, get what you need, say like some organics, composted manure, rotted/decayed logs and till it in.
Use care around the power line easement or right of way etc., sometimes they frown upon use of their lands. I have one directly under a set of 115,000 volt lines, that tend to droop low in the heat/humidity, so I do not do any work when it's like that. The soils are also heavy clay, dark top soil, near a marsh, can't remember what the PH was but I have spread lime on it before.
I know some think it a thing that yuppy wanna be farmers do, but I get a lot of enjoyment out of planting several patches. It's a little different, as I work for a long time farmer/dairyman, though he may be having to retire, it was fun doing all the field work, spring planting, hay etc. so on a smaller scale with my own equipment, kind of an enjoyable hobby, and am thankful to have a place to do it.
I think it's also highly beneficial for the deer that frequent the area, because you only harvest a few, the rest keep eating some nutritious forage. There seems to be a lot of things you can grow for them too.
Seems the whitetail does like the young lush growth of many kinds of plants. The whitetail institute offers a nice selection of products, though some are a bit expensive, I think the $80 bag of No Plow, is a good deal. I over seed what they call for and it comes up thick. I plow/disc anyway and it comes up nice, just planted a bunch and though I won't get the height, little late, it still gets some traffic, nest year might switch over to some clover again, but that no plow will come up like crazy and grow nicely if you give it what it needs. I've also discovered that the whitetail around here absolutely crave the 2nd growth of oats, after the harvest, I've got one field in a valley that has been attracting 30+ deer, more like 40, which is unreal, I've never seen that many come in, don't think it's a population increase as much as a good food source, I've even planted some oats for the same reason, heck I've even got a piebald buck coming in, was also a doe, really enjoyable to watch em, though they can be a nuisance, nice to kmow there is some good quality venison to be had out there.
