Recent rains exposed newly planted seed, now what?

[R C]

I planted about an acre plot of wildlife mix a few days ago just before the rains and was excited to have gotten it in just before the rain started. We have had several hard rains since then. I finally had a chance to look over my field and all of the seed which I dragged over to cover and packed after that, is exposed on the surface. I am looking for recommendations as to what you would do, 1. Leave it as is, 2. Let the clay soil dry out which may be several days as it is still supposed to continue raining for two more days, then run a packer over it to help with germination without disturbing the soil too much. 3. Replant once it gets dry enough.

The seed mix contains a variety of beans and peas as well as smaller seeds such as sun hemp. Thanks for your advice.

I would let it be. Re-evaluate in about ten days and replant if need be. I would expect it to come on up unless it is just washed away

I'd ride it out. Sure you saw seed but I bet there is plenty covered by dirt you can't see. It's early spring, more rain will come and tap roots will find their way into the dirt.

Agreed, just leave alone as it will germinate on top too.
