If you can find someone who has a shear on a skid loader they can be sheared off at ground level. The people I harvest with cash rent some land that had been in CRP and the cedars had come up in it pretty bad. The landowner took it out of CRP when the contract was up and wanted it farmed. The farm manager had someone come in with a skid loader with a shear and he did a good job. To save a little money the landowner said he'd cut the cedars in one corner of the field.
