Best shot whould have been to disk it in Early September. On an acre you could sow the grass seed with one of the old timey hand crank seeders. Then harrow or lightly disk.
So now that you will be doing a spring seeding, basically the same thing. Try to get it in as early as possible, once the ground thaws and is workable.
Disking a couple of times will level and chop up the stalks. Then walk on the seed, then set the disk straight and shallow, and lightly disk the seed in to just barely cover it..
Spring rains will take care of working in what doesn't get covered. Dont worry is you still see seed uncovered. Getting it too deep is worse than shallow.
You may not get as good a crop doing it in the spring, cause the seed wont be as established when hot weather comes. May have to over seed it in spots come next fall.
Might want to check with whoever had the corn in. Was there any herbicide applied to the corn that could still be present as carryover and kill the grass seedlings? Is the PH and fertility up to snuff ?
