Actually, it's a little late in April. I have one field that is creek flats, and I have to make sure the seed is firmly in soil before the floods, or it will float away. I cyclone seed that in February on bare ground. I generally like to get mine on when the Red Wing Black birds arrive on other soils. Just something I do, that has been handed down from each generation. If we get the usual April rains, u can gamble with spreading it, might work out. I really have never tried it, and with clover at $2.80/ lb., I won't, LOL.
