@chillybean You may do well to talk to your local NRCS Soil Conservationist. I know there is a big push to help landowners restore land in the midwest to help our pollinators and restore grasslands and prairies. They should be able to help. They may also have funding available to help you reach your goal.
Incidentally, I received a catalog from Prairie Moon Nursery today. They also have good advice for restore native prairie. I am posting a link from their site:
