Here in South Central KY I haven't had much luck overseeding using the broadcast method. Only decent results were using the Farm Extension office's drill.
Timothy and orchard grass are about the best forage crops you can get in our area. Horse people love Timothy hay, cows like them both. If you plan to sell to horse people, do not sew any clover! Clover creates a chemical reaction with horse saliva and makes them foam at the mouth. Very small amounts won't hurt anything, but I have been told to never feed my horses straight clover hay.
