Fields ploughed and seed scattered

Over the past couple of weeks three fields have changed their appearance - from long green grass (grazed), green splattered with brown (muck spread), furrows (ploughed) and now as smooth as they'll ever be. We've sown Triticale and undersown with grass. It's rolled and stones picked (those we can see) and now all it needs is "Soft refreshing rain" - not too heavy as we don't want all the careful field work washed away. And as it's mostly visible from the road, we hope it comes up OK - no gaps and no weeds.
