I ran a drag with tines down over my clover plots to scratch the surface and spread 50lbs over 2 acres. I got very good germination but I also had 20 inches of rain in the 6-8 weeks after spreading, so I’m sure that helped. I’m going on 6 weeks without a decent rain so I’m anxious to see how it’s doing now. Hoping to go check it out this weekend. It’s a small seed, so whatever works for clover should work ok for vetch.
