[Homestead] Establishing pasture

Hey y'all

I am in Ithaca, N.Y. house hunting and there are lots of places up  
here that have land in "tillable acres"...just plain old mud right now  
unless they've got a crop cover on them.

How long would it take, do you think, to plant and establish pasture?

There's a place I like but there's only 5 acres of pasture, but 70  
acres of "tillable" fields. It would be nice to have enough space to  
grow my own hay, but Id be inclined to put at least half of it into  
pasture use.

I've never done it from scratch before.

Cheers,

Celia
