Here in Minnesota, plow in fall, disk in early spring, drag a couple of times until it's nice & flat, spread seed & oats, drag again, and watch it grow. What else do you want to use? :) A field cultivator often works better than a disk, but for grass seeds the harder seedbed you get from a disk would be a good thing.... I'd get the PH and the fertility in shape in spring before planting. Actually would be good to get the PH in shape in fall, as that takes a while to work. I live in an area where you don't have to, so I forget that step most of you have to go through. Such low ground might be more alkili and high in PH as well..... Picking a grass to work with wet roots can be a challenge, but they are out there. Legumes would be real hard, there are a few that do better in wet. Grazing would be good, going to be hard to dry the hay if the ground rarely does..... --->Paul
