The old standard was plow, disk, drag for seed bed, Sod/pasture gets plow, then disk before minimal till planting. The large blade-20 to 28 inch- disks around home farm in Iowa are used as single pass on corn fields before bean planting to cut last years corn stalks and stir/smooth soil some for seedbed - see if someone has one of them in area that can be hired or borrowed. (Teasing Alert!) alternatives exist- you might have a garden tiller contest- see who can till a 18 inch strip across the patch- line up 20 tillers and have 3 heats- 1 diagonal, winner gets a case of beer and oil change. Or go old time green method- fence in patch and turn in 20 spring farrowed pigs, scatter some corn around the field and let them nose and chew ground- result is fertilized garden patch for next year and potential 40 smoked hams and shoulders, lots of bacon to smoke over winter after frost kills flies, Christmas/New Years roast pork loins/chops- might get some historical society to do the project for you- they might have source of razorbacks to do main ground work or some of the Texans on board can send you some of their feral hogs.
