Chris, get your soil tested, Maine should have a state ext. or ag. div. that can do that. You send in samples, tell them what you want to grow, they tell you what it needs. It's a lot of hard work making a field to have it grow nothing but milkweed & morninglories. Once you get all the rock & stumps off, you have to smooth it out, a disc harrow works good for this. A chisel plow or something like it will just pull up more rocks. I know there's rocks in Maine. I don't believe you need a grain drill, you can broadcast most hay seed. A machine called a cultipacker will finish your job. To harvest it, a sickle bar mower will do the job, then a side delivery rake and a baler are needed. Lastly, a truck or wagon to haul the bales & a barn to store it in. Are you bankrupt yet? Like the others said, on the job training is priceless.
