New growing location

I will be moving in the near future from the city to the country.  Last year, I grew my 503.5lber along with a 325lber that had a very late start, in my extra lot next to me that I owned.  The garden was 30'x60' and only accodomated two plants.  Then last fall, I expanded it to 35'x80' and was hoping to get three plants in there.  I also added a ton of leaves and manure along with a soil test preparing for the next growing season.  All that hard work to preparing, only to move.  What a shame!  The good news is the new place I bought is in the country and includes a barn, two silos, and ten acres of land.  Yes, ten acres of land that was used for farming.  The bad news is that I have to start all over with the soil preparation.  Is there anything that would give the soil a great boost so that I can plant this spring?  I won't be able to till until around April 1.  I used leaves as a source of micronutrients, but was added in the fall.  Is there anything else that would be comparable to leaves that will give me a good source of micronutrients that I can add this spring?  Any kind of advice for preparing this new land and any other kind of advice about numbers of plants or anything else would be appreciated!!!!!!  Thanks.
