Turkeymaster…….To answer your question more specifically…..From the looks of you plots I think you’ll be fine. They look like they are pretty productive so even if what you just planted gets wiped out then you should still likely grow a crop of weeds in behind it. If you think the thatch is going to be too thin though then throw out your seed….take about half the angle out of your disks…..and then run it over the top of everything without mowing. Just scratch the surface enough to hide your seeds form the birds. If it looks like its going to rain right behind your planting then you could probably just broadcast your seed and pull a drag over it.
