Due to some very weird circumstances I have a 2 week old field of winter rye that is coming up in a very nice thick stand. I need too add brassicas, clover, chicory to this food plot. Should I broadcast the small seeds right into the rye at this point (and cultipack)? or should I till the field and replant the rye?

I would broadcast over the rye right before a rain. The seed just needs good contact with the ground to germinate. It does need to stay moist for a while. These tiny seeds can't handle much over a 1/4" depth.

I agree 100%.
