In Canada, the advice is to pick a touchdown point one third into the field -- halfway if it's a short one.

Clearing the trees and wires on approach is the first priority.

Certainly once the obstacles are definitively cleared, you can steepen the approach to get a longer landing run, but you'll likely be surprised how short the ground run can be in a plowed field
