I'm in south central PA and have 8 acres of bottom ground already prepped for a clover/rape/winter wheat seeding. The ground has been moldboard plowed, disced, dragged, and cultipacked, with the lime and starter fertilizer put on 1 1/2 weeks ago. Last night we had 2 heavy thunderstorms pass through leaving the field quite wet. The rain was so heavy most of the ridges and valleys left by the packer are no longer visible. With additional showers and storms predicted practically every day for the next week it is doubtfull that conditions will improve any time soon. What would be the best course of action at this point? Should I just get the seed on as soon as I can operate in the field without tearing it up (seed will be broadcast with a Herd seeder on a JD 530, not drilled)and then cultipack again, or will I need to disc and pack again before seeding, when and if it gets dry enough? I probably have until Nov. 1 or there-abouts before a hard frost. Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Rick
