Go ahead and seed it. With all the rain we are getting it will be up in ten days or sooner and will be green before the ground freezes. Last fall here in northern Iowa I clear seeded brome grass Sept 1 and it did not rain seemingly for ever. A few showers later on got it going just enough to be about an inch tall before we froze. This spring it greened up but grew slowly. Now it's looking great.

A couple of falls ago the combine cut off some brome grass in the corner of a grass waterway on my farm when the beans were being combined. The next spring I had a nice stand of brome grass out there where the straw chopper sowed the brome seeds on the bean stubble. The fall rain worked the seed in and got it going and the next spring it took off. Jim
