Seed question!

[woodsandwater]

due to time constrictions, i had to plant last weekend. Of course no rain on my farm since then. I know there are small chances all next week. How long will the seed be alright without rainfall? We planted wheat, oats, der and had a good seedbed with good moisture in the soil from previous rains! Thanks!

The first thing I will tell you is don't worry yourself over it. A lot of us have to plant when we can. I really see no need to be concerned about it. The seed should be ok in the ground as in a bag.
The only thing is if your property is like mine.. you have turkeys and they can wear out your oats and wheat. I think tropical storm "Fay" will give us rain next week "I hope".

I would be more worried about it raining and the seed germinating then no more rain for several weeks and it drying up.

Seed will sit in dirt and be fine for quite a while. Your main worries should be turkey and birds eating the seed and what Missme said.
