Trying to get brassicas in with all this rain

I have an area that is pretty clean and was sprayed but it's been too muddy to disc or till.
Do you think i would have good luck just broadcasting the brassicas and triple 12 fertilizer on top of ground with urea with good luck or would you wait for soil to dry out and disc or till and the plant brassicas and pack seed ?
 
I have had good results with “throw and grow” method as well with small seeds such as brassicas. Would recommmend using treated urea or applying close to an incoming rain (a day or less) to minimize Nitrogen losses.
 
Broadcasting Brassica on "Exposed" soil after spraying ahead of a rain has worked for me in the past several times as well....only time I had a problem was when I did a burn down with Roundup & 24-D due to major week problem and it sat a month before broadcasting and soil got baked in the sun "prior" to seeding ahead of what turned out to be a massive rain event where received 4 inches of rain in about an hour....only 1/4 of what I seeded took which was on a slight slope and protected by switchgrass buffer...the rest was on a steeper slope and all the seed washed off the field and started growing in grass buffers/waterways.
 
Put fertilizer out right before rain. U can broadcast for sure. A guy could literally go broadcast seed & fertilizer while it’s rainy here & be just fine without equipment. Lots of moisture!! Go!!!!
