Weatherman lied.
Spent all weekend tilling 5 acres and got a cereal rye/crimson clover mix broadcast at a relatively high rate per acre at dark last night. Intended to wake up and use a drag harrow on the seed to lightly cover it.
Well, lo and behold, the bottom fell out this morning and continued all day.... dog food bowls had about 3 inches in them!
Anyway, my field is pretty much a "swamp" now (little standing water but muddy) so little hope of getting tractor in there for the next day or so.
I walked it today and the seed still seems to be relatively in place, but it's definitely on the surface.
Combination Sand, Clay and Sand Loam.
What's gonna happen?
