Like others have said try to spread some old hay of any kind on this area to restore some organic matter in the soil. Manure is the best soil amendment for your project and chicken litter manure is the best manure. Here we can buy composted chicken manure from nearby farmers. If you can afford it apply 4-500 lbs/acre of fertilizer, like a 12-12-12 analysis. Plant something in the legume family like yellow blossom sweet clover to produce nitrogen in the soil or some other clover that grows well in your area. Maybe try some sericea or common lespedeza. These almost grow anywhere. Or forage radish. Also add a bit of grass in the mix like ryegrass. Be very careful with wood chips and saw dust , they can mess up the carbon:nitrogen ratio in the soil. Your best bet is chicken litter to start and plenty of it. If something starts growing I wouldn't do any tillage for a year or two let the soil build itself. We don't know your soil pH unless it is tested, then go from that report.
