I guess I should have mentioned that some of these holes will be in an area that I will putting my barn at. The barn will have a cement floor. I wont even start the building process till next summer though. But I'd like to get the area prepped now so once I have the money put away I can get things started.

I'd fill the holes on the barn jobsite with 3/4" gravel and then have your concrete floor contractor run his vibrating compactor over the fill to max out compaction and stabilize the fill.
For the other holes, I'd backfill in 6" lifts, wet the lift to increase compaction and then use calcium chloride to dry the lift. Repeat until the hole is filled.
